Which Hobs and Ovens Are Right For You? When it comes to ovens and hobs there are a variety of styles to choose from. So which is right for you? Gas hobs are well-known due to their rapid heat and precise flame control. They are used in a variety of cooking pots. They are ideal for frying food that require precise temperatures like steaks. Gas hobs A gas hob uses natural gas to generate flames that heat pans and pots. hob and oven are controlled by an adjustable knob that can be turned to alter the size of the flame and the output of heat. Modern gas hobs are equipped with safety features, such as flame failure devices that stop the burners when the flame fails to ignite. This prevents accidental fires. Gas hobs are a common choice for cooking due to their speed and precision. They are able to quickly reach high temperatures making them ideal for searing meats or boiling water. They can also be adapted to lower heat levels for delicate sauces and dishes. Gas cooktops will also be less likely to cause food sticking which is a problem with certain electric cooktops. Gas hobs are not as efficient, but they still use very little electricity. Induction models are more expensive at first and are an ideal choice for kitchens with budgets. However, the costs of a gas stove will depend on your local natural gas or LPG prices, which can differ greatly. FUJIOH offers a variety of built-in models in various finishes, such as toughened glass or stainless steel. This lets you find the perfect match for your kitchen. A built-in gas hob is not protruding from the countertop, unlike freestanding models. This makes it much easier to clean. Many of our stoves have an elegant minimalist design and are perfect for open-plan kitchens. While the benefits of a gas stove are obvious, it's crucial to know the health risks associated with this type of cooktop. Research has shown that cooking with gas hobs can cause indoor pollutant levels well above the legally-regulated UK and EU standards for air quality. These pollutants are produced by the interaction of a naked flame with cooking oil that has evaporated in the cookware. This is particularly common when cooking with non-stick pans which are often used with gas hobs. To minimise the risk of these contaminants, it is important to avoid burning flammable materials near a gas burner. Electric hobs There are a lot of choices available to you regardless of whether you're looking for an electric hob for your kitchen or to replace an old one. You must consider your cooking requirements and the way you'd like your new kitchen appliance to look. However, you'll should also think about practical aspects like the space you have available and the energy efficiency rating you're seeking. Electric hobs are a popular option in modern homes. They come in a range of designs and styles including simple coil hobs that have touch controls to stylish ceramic or glass models that are tempered. Electric hobs are relatively easy to clean and generally provide more precise control of the temperature than gas hobs. However, they may take longer to heat and cool down. The domino hob is another well-known style of hob. It is available in electric and ceramic versions. They are designed to be perfectly against the worktop of your kitchen. They feature flat surfaces that is easy to clean, and the heating elements are hidden under the surface. When turned on, these hobs illuminate with a bright red hue and ensure an even distribution of heat across the cooking area. The best aspect of domino hobs is that they're great for those who want to blend the look of an induction or ceramic model with the versatility of a gas-powered hob. Along with standard hob zones, they typically accommodate griddles and Teppanyaki grills to provide an unforgettable dining experience. Ceramic and induction hobs both come with a sleek, modern finish that is perfect for any kitchen. They also come with many useful features. For example, some have the power boost feature that instantly boosts the power of a particular cooking area, which is ideal when you're in a rush to cook something. A lot of them have safety features, like hot indicators that alert you when the area is still too hot to touch or child locks that prevent anyone from operating the stove. Induction hobs Induction hobs differ from gas and electric hobs because they use magnetism to heat pans and pots instead of direct heat. The glass surfaces of an induction hob are coils which a variable electrical current runs; when an induction-compatible pan is placed on top, it triggers the magnetic field to create electricity inside the iron inside the pan, which heats it, and subsequently cooking whatever is inside. They typically cook faster and are favoured for their energy efficiency, with many homeowners reporting a decrease in their overall cooking costs. Some sources suggest that induction hobs release high levels of electromagnetic fields – with frequencies in the kilohertz band – when employed. When you are at a distance that isn't too far from the appliance, these fields will not affect your health and they diminish with increasing distance. These magnetic fields can cause interference with pacemakers, so it is advised to maintain a minimum of five to ten centimetres of distance between the cooker and the pacemaker. Induction hobs require specific cookware. They require a flat bottom, and are usually made from iron or steel with a magnetic layer and cast iron is a popular choice however, you can find stainless steel with an induction compatibility or copper, as well as aluminium (check the label to determine if they are compatible). There are also dual ring designs on hobs that have smaller and larger cooking zones to suit various sizes of pans. The majority of induction hobs have the touch control system, which includes power bars in each cooking zone. You can choose your preferred heat level simply by sliding your finger down the power bar. Left to right increases power and right to left reduces it. Alternatively, some hobs have a slider, which works just like the one on an iPhone You simply swipe your finger across to select the ring, then tap the power bar to select the desired setting. Certain hobs come with a child lock to prevent children accidentally turning the hob on or altering settings. This feature is included on the majority of hobs we've reviewed and can help reassure parents. We always recommend careful handling of hobs and sensible placement, making sure the plug isn't tripped over or placed on. Gas on glass Gas on glass hobs have a an elegant look which is ideal for modern kitchens with modular design. The sealed burner prevents dirt and impurities from escaping. hobs and ovens are also easy to clean, making them a great choice for busy family homes. The hobs of this kind are made with toughened glass, which is scratch-resistant and heat resistant. The burners are also plated with stainless steel and chromium to ensure durability. These features make the hobs tough and long-lasting. These features are important, especially in terms of safety. Glass-topped gas cooktops are less difficult to clean than stainless steel models. However it is essential to remember that you should only use flat-bottomed cookware and pans on a glass cooktop. This is because a rounded bottom can cause too much of the surface to come into contact with the burners, resulting in overheating and possibly causing damage. Another benefit of glass-on-glass cooktops is that they do not require more maintenance than stainless steel models. Stainless steel stoves must be maintained regularly to avoid burns and other damage. A glass cooktop is easily cleaned using a sponge or cloth and a cleaning solution. These models also have an integrated shut off valve which will turn off the flames in the event that they are accidentally shut off. Gas stoves come in a wide range of sizes and finishes that can be adapted to any kitchen decor or style. There are many options available, whether you prefer a minimalistic design that blends seamlessly with other appliances or a sleek and modern look. The Bertazzoni Professional Series-60cm gas stove comes with four monobloc burners in matt black and precise control knobs made of metal, which add to its high-end feel. The burners are equipped with a high heat capacity and power to support a wide variety of cooking. The wok ring is integrated, making this a great choice for any kitchen.
