You will get a lot of use from a kitchen hob, so you want to be assured it does the job you want it to do and that it will last the long-run. There are five types of kitchen hob to consider; gas, gas-on-glass, electric plate, ceramic and induction. The guide below will give you a rundown of the pros and cons of each to give you a better idea of which type of hob is best for your kitchen.

Gas hobs

Historically, gas has been the most popular choice of kitchen hob as they are easy to control, have a visible flame and distribute heat well around the pan. They are also ideal for flamboyant cooking techniques such as flambé. Although they can be dismantled for cleaning, they are more time-consuming to clean than the alternatives.

Gas on glass hobs

If you do prefer cooking with gas, but want an easy answer for the mess caused by spillages, gas on glass hobs provide a solution and look more stylish than traditional gas hobs. These gas burners are mounted on ceramic glass plates which makes cleaning the surface of the oven easier. However, the glass also shows up greasy stains and finger marks more than traditional metal hobs.

Electric ceramic hobs

The benefit of electric ceramic hobs is that the coils are underneath the ceramic surface so you have a smooth, open surface which makes cleaning easier than gas hobs. However, the glow of light disappears when the hob is switched off but can leave the surface of the oven boiling hot and therefore a danger hazard, especially if you have small children with wandering hands. Heat distribution around the bottom of pans is not as effective as gas.

Induction hobs

Induction hobs are the latest designs in kitchen hobs and are becoming increasingly popular with professional chefs. They have a magnetic field between the heat source and the pan which heats up the pan rather than the cooking surface – eliminating the hazard of electric hobs. Induction hobs also heat food quicker than other types of hob, yet are more energy efficient so less expensive to run.

Electric plate hobs

Buyers on a budget might want to consider an electric plate hob, but although they are in the lower end of the price bracket, they are the most expensive to run. Furthermore, the heating element is slow to heat up and cool down which makes controlling the temperature more difficult to time and are more difficult to clean than ceramic hobs.If you’re looking to save money on a kitchen hob, check out the vouchers we have on offer with MyAppliances.
