Ceramic Hobs

A ceramic hob has an elegant, modern look and is relatively easy to warm up and clean. There are a myriad of styles to choose from including ultra-sleek flat and traditional shapes such as rectangles and squares. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use and they often have built-in residual heat indicators that switch off the zone when they've been used and is too hot to touch or clean after only a few minutes. This can reduce the risk of burns and is especially beneficial for children who are still young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to chips and scratches. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pots across instead of lifting them with their handles. We suggest that you take extra care when handling and moving your cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest against using magnetic or metallic cookware on a ceramic hob as this can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than a gas or induction hob. This could be problematic if you're working in a bustling, noisy kitchen or wish to quickly switch from one cooking zone to another. However numerous manufacturers have been working on this and now offer an array of hobs that can reduce their cooling time by as much as 30%.

Hobs induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to heat up and are the most energy efficient option on the market. Induction hobs are extremely hygienic and safe, and they don't store any heat on the cooking area. However they can be costly.

Induction Hobs

A popular choice for kitchen upgrades Induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan rather than the ceramic/glass surface, reducing energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool faster than traditional hobs and are therefore easier to clean.

Under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob sit copper coils which an alternating electrical current flows through. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a suitable pan or pot is placed over the cooking area. This lets you cook more efficiently because there is no loss of heat from the pan itself.

You can find an induction cooktop that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something easy to control, you can choose a model that has a touchscreen that displays the location of the pan on every single zone. Click on the display and you can access a detailed menu of operation, altering the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs will even provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or kinds of food which is a great way to cut down on time and effort when cooking.

Induction hobs are also thought to be the most efficient cooking stove since they consume less electricity and generate no residual heat. However, because they create magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, so it's recommended to avoid using them near them.

We recommend that you select a top induction stove with an integrated extractor. This will help remove smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a large range of cooking utensils. Choose one with the dual flex zone. This lets you connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. Their sleek design makes them easy to fit into any decor and their efficient heating makes them an ideal option for busy households.

In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs employ an element that floats through the ceramic glass and directly heats whatever is sat on the top. They're also more cost-effective to run, as they can be turned off when not in use, saving your money on energy bills.

It is important to keep in mind that not all stoves have the same features. Some are more advanced than others, featuring features such as an automatic safety shut-off and an LCD display that clearly displays the power level, temperature, and cooking time. Some models also have the ability to boost the speed of the element for additional power.


Another benefit of an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it easier to clean than a gas model. Spills and splatters can be easily removed without needing to scrub the grates. This means that your stove will last longer.
