Hobs OvenHobs can be a wonderful addition to any kitchen. They can blend in with the worktop, or can stand out. Hobs are also among the most well-known kinds of cookers due to their being easy-to-use and have modern design.
There are five different kinds of hobs available. Each one has distinct style function, design, and style.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs are an elegant and practical option that can be placed close to the counter for a contemporary appearance. The hobs work by transferring an electric current through coiled elements beneath the glass surface. The elements get heated and transfer that energy to the pan. The flat surface is also easy to clean, which means spills and splatters can be quickly removed. The downside is that they're susceptible to stains, especially from certain liquids or foods and therefore it is advised to avoid using harsh cleaners.
Electric ceramic hobs can be a good option for those looking to save money and do not require a gas or an induction cooktop. They are slower to heat than other types of hobs and may not be as efficient if the cooking zones don't match your pans. This is because the whole cooking zone heats up, and can then transfer some of the heat to the pan, wasting some energy.
Some ceramic hobs can also overheat. To prevent this, they usually come with built in residual heat indicators that inform you whether the hob is hot even after you've cooked. This is to prevent accidents and avoid accidentally touching the hot surface of the hob.

Induction Hobs

The process involves placing coils underneath each cooking zone that, when activated emit magnetic fields to directly heat the bottom of any iron-based pot placed on it.

Certain induction hobs have a 'flexizone' area on the left side that lets you connect two zones to create a large one - perfect for those who have larger pans and pots. Others such as this WiFi-enabled model from Samsung come with more advanced features such as a 'pause' function which reduces the temperature when you remove your pan. You can also control it remotely using an SmartThings app that lets you set timers and alerts and even turn the hob on and off while you're away.
Induction hobs are also among the most energy-efficient on the market. This is because the heat is generated and retained in the pan itself, instead of the surface of the cooker's hood. They also shut off more quickly when there is no pan found or the pan is removed. This reduces residual heat.
Induction hobs are a little more expensive than other kinds of electric hobs, but they usually save money on your utility bills over the long term because they heat up and cool down much faster than traditional ceramic hobs.
