However, they can be prone to scorching and scratching and scratching, so it's crucial to be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your stove in top condition, especially if you have one of the more traditional freestanding models. For a deeper clean, you can remove the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub.

Another benefit to gas hobs is their flame-failure mechanism, which switches off the gas supply once the burner's flame is gone. This is to prevent accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have contemporary, sleek appearance and is surprisingly quick to heat up and clean. There are a myriad of styles to choose from including ultra-sleek, flat and traditional shapes like rectangles and squares. Their flat surface makes them easy to clean down after use and they often feature built in residual heat indicators that switch off the area if it's been used and is too hot to touch or clean with only a few minutes. This reduces the risk of burns and is especially beneficial if your children are still young.

However, the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be susceptible to chips and scratches. This is a particular issue if you drag pans across it instead than lifting them up by their handles, and we suggest taking extra care when handling and moving cookware onto and off the hob. We also recommend that you avoid using metal or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs because they can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs can take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This can be an issue if you're working in a busy, packed kitchen or need to quickly change from one cooking area to another. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this issue and have now launched various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by as much as 30 percent.

They heat the pan, rather than the ceramic or glass surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use.

Beneath the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob sit copper coils that an alternating electrical current flows through. When a suitable pan is placed in the cooking zone, the coils instantly generate heat by magnetic induction. You can cook more efficiently because the pan won't lose heat.

There's an induction stove that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something simple to control, you can opt for a model with a touchscreen that shows the position of the pan in every single zone. You can then tap on the display to launch an extensive menu of operating options and alter the power setting or the timer.

Induction hobs are also regarded as one of the most energy-efficient cooktops, as they do not generate heat and use less electricity than traditional electric hobs. They can interfere with medical devices, such as pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.

We recommend choosing a premium induction cooker that includes an extractor. This will eliminate smoke and odours, as you cook. It can also be used with a large variety of cooking utensils. Choose one with dual flex zones. This allows you to connect two zones on the left to accommodate larger pots.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. Their sleek design allows them to blend seamlessly into any decor, and their efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy households.

In contrast to gas, which uses an igniter to heat the pan, electric hobs utilize an element that floats through the ceramic glass and then directly warms the food that is placed on the top. Electric hobs are also more efficient in terms of energy use, since they can be shut off when they are not in use.

It is important to keep in mind that not all hobs come with the same features. Some are more advanced than others, and come with features like automatic safety shutoff and an electronic display that clearly shows the temperature, power levels and cooking time. Certain models also come with the ability to boost the speed of the element to provide more power.

Another advantage of an electric hob is its flat surface which makes it much easier to clean than a gas model. Spills and splatters are easily cleaned away without the need to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.

Although these features make an electric hob an ideal choice for families, it's worth bearing in mind that if you are fitted with a pacemaker, you can't use this type of hob because its electromagnetic field may interfere with your device.
