What is a Hob? Hob is a protein which is involved in the regulation of exocytosis. It has also been found to regulate insulin-producing cells in Drosophila. It is a part of the secretory apparatus, and is essential to function properly in secretory cells. In the British kitchen, a hob is the same as a cooktop. Nigella frequently suggests leaving the pot “on the hob.” The word is used in the same way in North America. Hobs with induction Induction hobs use magnetism instead of direct heat to heat pots and pans. Underneath the cooktop's surface, there are coils through which an alternating electrical current runs through, and when a ferromagnetic pot is placed on the cooktop's surface, it creates a magnetic field, which generates electricity to heat the pan. The cooktop is also cool to the feel and uses less energy when as compared to gas or electric models. Another benefit is that induction hobs are less dangerous than gas hobs of the traditional variety, with no open flames to burn your fingers or cookware. They are great for student halls and student accommodation flats that iQ Student Accommodation uses where safety is paramount. This type of hob is also easy to clean as the smooth glass-ceramic cooktop surface isn't hot and is easy to clean with a damp cloth. The drawback to induction is that you do require pans that can be used. You'll require pans with a flat, even thick base made of ferrous metals such as cast iron or steel. To determine if these pans are induction-compatible, apply a magnet to the base. If the magnet sticks then it's a suitable pan for your induction cooker. Other popular choices are ceramic hobs, which have an elegant appearance and are available in a variety of colors. They heat quickly, but they tend to use more energy than induction stoves because they make use of the entire surface of the glass-ceramic. The smooth surface of the cooktop is easily cleaned with a soft, clean cloth. The majority of them have lids that are dishwasher safe. If you're looking to get the best of both worlds, choose an induction cooktop equipped with a TFT display which shows the location of your cookware and a control panel to adjust the power settings. It comes with four automatic cooking modes to select from (boil, melt and slow cook) as well as a boost function for extra-quick results. It comes with control locks to avoid accidental button pushing and comes with an indicator of residual heat and auto switch-off in the event that you forget to turn off your stove. Gas hobs A gas hob uses propane or natural gas to heat its oven and burners which results in a faster cooking speed and greater temperature control. This makes it ideal for boiling, frying and sauteing, in addition to other cooking techniques. Although it might not be as efficient as an electric hob, a gas hob is generally less expensive to operate than one powered by electricity. Additionally the gas hob's heating source is independent of electricity, which means it can still function during power outages, albeit at a lower speed. It also has a lower risk of fire since the burners' heat is limited to the pans that they come into contact with. To prevent fires, it is important to keep any flammable objects away from the burners. Modern gas hobs consist of traditional burners and electrical components that regulate ignition, flame output and safety features. Most models employ an electric ignition system which emits either an electric spark or a pilot flame to ignite the burner. They also come with control knobs that allow you to alter the flame intensity and the heat output. Some also have a timer that lets you to set an exact time for cooking. While the upfront purchase price of gas hobs is generally lower than an induction model however, operating costs will be contingent on the local gas prices. Some gas hobs are compatible with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which is less expensive than natural gas. Gas hobs need more attention than electric ones. Gas hobs are more likely to collect oily spills on the burner's grates. Also, you'll need to clean the flat, rimless cooking surface frequently to prevent food residues from building up. Some brands, like FUJIOH have made cleaning simpler by using cast iron or stainless steel hob grates. Their flat, rimless design removes the use of awkwardly placed pot holders and utensils that can collect debris. Electric hobs Making use of electric coils to generate heat under the cooking zone electric hobs are easy to heat and simple to clean after use. Many models come with residual heat indicators that inform you which areas were recently used and are too hot to clean or touch. This is particularly useful in homes where children live. Certain models also come with overflow protection that detects when the pot is boiling and switches off the stove to prevent spillage. Induction hobs look sleek and stylish. They work by transferring a current of electricity through copper coils to create a magnetic field that is heated by the bottoms of cookware compatible with induction. This makes them faster to boil than gas hobs, and they offer precise temperature control with a cool-to touch surface and energy efficiency. However, these kinds of cooktops are more expensive than traditional gas models and should be installed by an experienced professional. A lot of them come with a flat ceramic glass cooktops for a contemporary look and come with a variety of options, including child locks, timers, auto shut-off and built in sensors for food preparation. A favorite choice among users electric ceramic hob s give the best of both worlds, providing a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that is resistant to burning, scratching and stains. These models are also available in a wide variety of colours to complement your kitchen design and many come with pre-installed panels and trims to create seamless appearance. These models, as well as induction hobs require regular maintenance. The burner caps and grates must be removed and cleaned with warm water prior to the reassembling. They are also more susceptible to staining due to spills of liquid. They also heat up a bit slower than other types of hobs, despite their excellent energy efficiency. The best hobs Hobs are an essential kitchen appliance that can transform a food preparation into a spectacular music of flavours. We have a wide selection of hobs to fit any budget and need. The best hobs will be stylish sturdy, durable, and easy to clean. They also come with a variety of specialist features that allow you to cook like professional.

They heat quickly and regulate the temperature precisely which makes them suitable for all types of cookware. Some models have residual heat indicators that warn you if the surface of the glass is still hot. Induction hobs create an electric field that allows heat to be generated when it is needed. They heat up quicker than traditional gas or sealed plate hobs, and they provide excellent energy efficiency. Gas hobs have been a traditional option for a long time and are still preferred by many chefs. They are quick to heat up and offer instant heat control, which makes them suitable for a range of cooking techniques. They are also economical to run and can be used with most pans. However, they are harder to clean because the grates and burners have nooks and crannies in which dirt could hide. Solid plate hobs offer a good heat distribution and are long-lasting. They are great for everyday use. They are usually cheaper than gas and induction hobs and are great when you have limited space.
