Although these hobs are better for your kitchen they do have some limitations that you should be aware of before you purchase an induction hob. If you are switching from a gas hob for example to an induction, your pans may not be suitable to use on the induction.
Steel or cast iron pans will be suitable for the induction hob, but copper or aluminium pans will not be, unless they have additional layers to allow a magnet to stick to it. There are so many benefits to buying an induction hob as they are incredibly energy efficient, and stylish too, what more could you want? We offer a wide range of gas hobs, with a variety of different styles with 4 to 6 burners on each.
They are very easy to control and are the best for providing direct heat. Most homes in the UK do not have a supply of mains gas, but manufacturers now offer a conversion kit that converts the model to be able to run on LPG gas, which is more common in households.
Just ensure that the installer is gas safe registered, and that your hob can be converted to LPG. The different types and arrangements available depend on the model you choose. Economy are less powerful and smaller, this makes them more energy efficient and could be best used for simmering foods. Semi rapid and rapid burners give out medium and high power and would be best used boiling water. Wok burners are the biggest burners available and give out the largest amount of heat.
As wok pans are wider the flames spread wider across, therefore this type of burner is only suitable for woks or large pans. But there are safety features in place to stop accidents from happening. There are flame failure devices in place that stop gas travelling to the burner if the flame is put out, handy if your pan of water boils over. There are many types of controls to choose from like rotary, touch and position.
Rotary are simple controls that are pushed and turned, but are not as slick looking as touch control and can be easily knocked. This problem however could be resolved by position controls that are placed in two areas on the hob, either at the back or side, this can stop them from being knocked as easily, or children from reaching them. Another feature on a gas hob is the pan supports, these sit on the hob to hold the pan in place whilst cooking.
They can be removed to ease the cleaning process, but must not be put in the dishwasher, instead they must be hand washed or wiped clean. You can have a metal, glass or enamel finish to your hob depending on what will suit your kitchen best. There are many benefits to having a gas hob in your kitchen, the heating system is much more effective, it cools down quicker and you can choose the sizes of the burners you want.

It's not free standing like a range and has wall ovens rather than a built in oven. It can as mine does, have an area with a slide out shelf for pots and pans. You little ripper!

I have one that is separate from the stove. The few times I did hear it, it came with an English accent. Last edited: Dec 26, AzizaCloud said:. Dunno Senior Member Slovak. What about the word hotplate?

Usually electric but can be propane. Typically used in temporary or low end accomodation.
You might bring one to a college dorm room probably not allowed anymore, or find one in a low end rental unit that doesn't have a proper kitchen especially if the place was formerly a hotel. I understand that BE cooker is the same as AE stove and both include an oven plus at least 4 stove top cooking elements that are called burners or elements in AE.
The appliance is not portable and installed semi permanently. Now a hotplate has these things and I suppose you could refer to the cooking ring or burner on a hotplate but they are not identical. In the UK a cooker is the sort of appliance shown in 25 although that looks like a rather old-fashioned one. A ceramic hob works by using heating elements under the glass to heat up the metal pan.
For cooking with induction hob, you will not see a red glow on the hob glass surface. The pan becomes hot but the hob smooth glass surface outside the diameter of the pan remains safe to touch. However, there is residual heat after long hours cooking. Also, modern hobs come with auto-ignition feature which automatically lights the burners. Different recipes require different cooking temperatures.
Our modern hobs come with multi-flame burners; you can individually control the flame on the interior and exterior ring of the burner to precisely adjust the cooking temperature. Also, burners in our kitchen hobs are long-lasting as they are made from enamel-coated cast iron. Apart from improving functionality in your cooking bay, modern hobs work great for elevating the aesthetics of your kitchen as well.
They have a sleek look which lends a contemporary look to your kitchen.
