What is a Hob?
Hob is a controlled exocytosis protein. It has been discovered that it regulates the production of insulin by Drosophila cells. It is a component of the secretory apparatus and is essential for professional secretory cell function.
In the British kitchen the hob is the equivalent to a cooktop or stove top. Nigella often suggests placing a pot “on the hob.” The word has a similar meaning in North America.
Hobs with induction
Induction hobs make use of magnetism rather than direct heat to heat pots and pans. Underneath the cooktop surface sit coils through which an alternating electrical current flows through, and when a ferromagnetic pot is placed on the cooktop’s surface, it creates a magnetic field which produces electricity to heat the pan. The cooktop is also cool to touch and is energy efficient in comparison to gas or electric models.
Another advantage is that induction hobs are more secure than their traditional gas counterparts as there is no open flame to harm your fingers or cookware. They are great for student residences and iQ Student Accommodation flats where safety is paramount. The smooth glass-ceramic finish of this kind of hob is not hot, and can be easily cleaned with a damp rag.
Induction requires specific pans. You’ll need pans that have a thick, flat base made of ferrous metals like cast iron and steel. ovens and hobs must be induction-compatible and a good way to determine this is by running an iron rod across the base. If the magnet sticks, it is a suitable pan for your induction hob.
Ceramic hobs are also very popular because they have a sleek look and come in a variety of colours. They heat quickly, but they tend to consume more energy than induction stoves since they are able to heat the entire surface of glass-ceramic. The smooth surface of the cooktop can be cleaned with a soft, clean cloth. Most lids are dishwasher safe.
If you’re looking to get the best of both worlds go for a top induction cooker like this one from Hotpoint, which has a full TFT screen to show the cookware’s position and a control menu that’ll allow you to change the settings for the power. It has four automatic cooking options (boiling, melting and slow cooking) along with an extra-quick boost function. It has control locks to avoid accidental button pressing and has an indicator of residual heat and an auto shut-off feature in case you forget about the hob.
Gas hobs
A gas hob uses natural gas or propane to heat its oven and burners, resulting in a faster cooking speed and greater temperature control. This makes it ideal for frying, boiling and sauteing, as well as other cooking techniques. Gas hobs are generally cheaper to operate than electric ones, even though they might not be as efficient as electric hobs.
As a bonus, a gas hob’s heat source is unaffected by electricity, which means it will continue to function even during power outages, albeit at a lower level. The heat produced by the burners is also confined to the pans that they come into contact with, decreasing the risk of fire. To prevent fires, it’s important to keep any flammable objects away from the burners.
Modern gas hobs are a combination of traditional burners and electrical components that regulate the flame’s output, ignition and safety features. Most models employ an electric ignition system which emits either an electric spark or pilot flame to ignite the burner. The control knobs let you adjust the intensity of the flame as well as the heat output. Many also come with a timer that lets you to set an exact cooking duration.
Although the initial purchase cost of gas hobs is usually lower than an induction model however, operating costs will be contingent on the local gas prices. Certain gas hobs can be used with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is less expensive than natural gas.
Another disadvantage of a gas hob is that it requires more maintenance than an electric one. Gas hobs tend to collect oily spills that get deposited on the burner grates. Also, you’ll need to clean the flat and rimless cooking surface regularly to prevent food residues from building up. Certain brands, like FUJIOH have made cleaning easier with cast iron or stainless steel hob grates. Additionally, their flat rimless design eliminates the necessity for awkwardly positioned pot holders and utensils which can collect debris and increase the chance of spillages.
Electric hobs
Electric hobs heat quickly and are easy to clean. They make use of electric coils that produce heat under the cooking zone. Many models also have residual heat indicators to inform you of which areas have been used recently and will be too hot to touch or clean. This is particularly helpful for homes with children. Some models also come with an overflow safety feature that detects when a pot is boiling over and automatically shuts off the oven to stop spills from happening.
Induction hobs look sleek and stylish. They operate by passing a current of electrical energy through copper coils in order to create a magnetic field which is heated by the bottoms of cookware compatible with induction. This makes them more efficient to boil than gas hobs and provides precise temperature control with a cool-to touch surface and energy efficiency.
However, these kinds of hobs can be more expensive than traditional gas models and should be installed by an experienced professional. They are often equipped with a flat ceramic glass cooktops that have a modern design and come with a variety of features such as child locks and timers, auto shut off and built-in food sensors.
A popular choice with consumers electric ceramic hobs provide the best of both worlds, offering a smooth and easy-to-clean surface that is resistant to scratching, burning and stains. They are available in a variety of colours that will match your kitchen, and many have pre-installed panels and trims for a seamless look.
These models, like induction hobs, require regular maintenance. The burner caps and grates must be cleaned and removed in warm water before rebuilding. These hobs are also more prone to staining because of spills of liquid. They also heat up a bit slower than other types of hobs, yet they have a high energy efficiency.

They are quick to heat up and can regulate the temperature with precision which makes them ideal for all kinds of cookware. Certain models come with residual heat indicators that warn you if the surface of the glass remains hot.
Induction hobs work by creating an electric field between the element and your pan, allowing heat to be generated only where it is needed. They heat up faster than traditional gas or sealed plate hobs, and they provide excellent energy efficiency.
Gas hobs are the more traditional option and are preferred by many professional chefs. They are quick to heat up and offer instant heat control, making them ideal for a variety of cooking methods. They are also economical to run and can be used with most pans. However, they can be more difficult to clean since the grates and burners contain nooks and crevices where dirt can get.
