Which Hobs and Ovens Are Right For You? There are many types of hobs and ranges you can pick from. So which one is right for you? Gas hobs are popular for their quick heating and precise control of flame. They can be used with all types of cookware, and are perfect for frying things that require precise temperatures, such as steaks. Gas hobs Gas hobs utilize natural gas to create flames that heat pans and pots. The burners can be controlled by turning a knob to adjust the size of the flame and heat output. Modern gas hobs have safety features such as flame failure devices that shut off the burners if the flame ceases to burn. This helps to prevent accidental fires. Gas hobs are becoming popular for cooking because of their speed and accuracy. They can quickly reach high temperatures, making them ideal for boiling water or grilling meats. They can be set to lower temperatures for delicate dishes and sauces. A gas cooktop will be less likely to cause food stickiness, which is a problem for certain electric cooktops. Gas hobs aren't as energy-efficient, but they still use very little electricity. They also have a lower initial price than induction models, which can make them an attractive choice for kitchens with tight budgets. However, the cost of maintenance of a gas cooker are determined by the local natural gas or LPG prices, which can differ greatly. FUJIOH provides a variety of built-in models in various of finishes, including stainless steel or toughened glass. This allows you to find the perfect fit for your kitchen. Unlike freestanding gas stoves, a built-in model is integrated into the countertop and doesn't extend making it easier to clean and maintain. Many of our stoves have sleek, minimalist designs and are perfect for open-plan areas. It is important to be aware of the health risks that come with gas cooktops. Studies have revealed that gas hobs create indoor air pollution that is far more than the UK and EU standards for air quality. These pollutants are caused by the interaction of a naked flame with vaporised oil in the cookware. This is particularly prevalent when using nonstick cookware with gas hobs. To reduce the chance of these contaminants, it is important to avoid burning flammable materials close to a gas burner. Electric hob s Whether you're after an electric hob for your kitchen or are looking to replace an old one, there are plenty of options to pick from. It is important to consider your cooking requirements and how you want the new stove to look, but there are also practical considerations like the amount of space you have, and the kind of energy efficiency you're seeking. A popular option for modern homes, electric hobs come in a range of styles and finishes from simple coil hobs, to elegant glass or ceramic models that have touch controls. They're fairly easy to clean and offer a more precise temperature control than gas hobs but may take longer to warm up and cool down compared to gas hobs. The domino hob is a popular style of hob. It comes in ceramic and electric versions. The domino hobs are designed to fit flush against your kitchen worktop. They feature flat surfaces that is easy to clean and the heating elements are hidden under the surface. These hobs glow in a bright, red colour when they are turned on, and spread heat evenly across the cooking area. The greatest feature of domino hobs is that they're perfect for those who want to blend the look of ceramic or induction models with the versatility of a gas-powered hob. They can accommodate griddles teppanyakis and standard hob zones to create a unique dining experience. Ceramic and induction hobs have a sleek, elegant design that looks modern in any kitchen, and offer many useful features. For example, some have the power boost feature that instantly boosts the power of a certain cooking zone, ideal for when you're in a rush to cook something. And for peace of mind, many have safety features such as hot indicators that can warn you when a zone is still hot to the touch or child locks that stop anyone from operating the cooker. Induction hobs Induction hobs differ from gas and electric hobs in that they use magnetism to heat pots and pans instead of direct heat. The glass surfaces of an induction hob are coils through which a fluctuating electrical current runs; when an induction-compatible pan is placed on top, it creates the magnetic field to produce electricity within the iron inside of the pan, thereby heating it and in turn cooking the food inside. Induction hobs generally cook faster and are favoured for their energy efficiency, with numerous homeowners reporting dips in their overall cooking costs. There are some sources that suggest that induction hobs release high levels of electromagnetic fields at frequencies in the kilohertz spectrum when used. When you are at a distance that isn't too far from the appliance, these fields should not affect your health and decrease as you get further away. However these magnetic fields could affect pacemakers, therefore it is advised to maintain a minimum distance of 5-10 centimetres between the cooker and any pacemaker. Induction hobs also require specialized cookware. These cookwares must have a flat bottom, and are typically made of iron or steel with a magnetic layer and cast iron is a popular choice, but you can also find induction-compatible stainless steel or copper, as well as aluminum (check the label to determine if they are compatible). Some hobs have dual ring designs that combine smaller and bigger cooking zones to fit different sizes of pans. The majority of induction hobs have the touch control system, which has power bars on every cooking zone. You can choose your preferred heat level simply by sliding your fingers down the power bar. Left to right increases power and right to left reduces it. Additionally, some hobs come with a slider, which works just like the one on an iPhone by swiping your finger across to select the ring and tap the power bar to select your required setting. Some hobs are equipped with a child lock that prevents children from accidentally turning the hob on or altering its settings. This feature is available on the majority of hobs that we have reviewed and can help assure parents. We always recommend that hobs be handled with care and placed in a way that they are not easily tripped or sat on. Gas on Glass Gas on glass hobs offer sleek design that is perfect for modern kitchens with modular design. They have a sealed flame that prevents dust or contaminants from entering. They are also easy-to-clean making them a great choice for busy families. The hobs of this kind are made of toughened glass, which is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant. The burners are also coated with chromium and stainless steel for durability. These features make the hobs tough and long-lasting. These features are important, especially in terms of safety. One of the major benefits of cooking with gas on glass is that they are much easier to keep clean than traditional stainless steel models. It is essential to remember that only flat-bottomed pots and pans are recommended for use on a cooktop made of glass. A rounded bottom will result in excessive surface coming into contact with the burners. This could result in damage and overheating. Glass cooktops with glass are also less maintenance-intensive than stainless steel models. The stainless steel stoves must be cleaned regularly to prevent burning and other damage. However glass cooktops can be cleaned easily with a cloth or sponge and some cleaning solution. In addition, these cooktops come with a built-in shut off valve that turns off the flame when it is accidentally turned off. Gas stoves come in a wide range of sizes and finishes that can be customized to suit any kitchen decor or style. If you're looking for an elegant design that seamlessly blends with other appliances, or a more modern and luxurious look there's something that can match your style. The Bertazzoni Professional Series-60cm gas stove features four monobloc burners in matt black with precise metal control knobs that add to its premium feeling. The burners are powerful and have a high temperature capacity to allow for a variety of cooking. The wok ring's versatility makes it an excellent choice for any kitchen.
