FAQ
Hobs are cooking appliances used to heat pots and pans. They work by transferring heat from an energy source, such as gas, electricity, or induction, to the cookware. Choosing the right hob depends on your kitchen setup and personal cooking preferences. Gas hobs offer precise control, electric hobs provide even heat distribution, and induction hobs are energy-efficient and fast.
Hobs come in various types: gas, electric, induction, and ceramic. Each type has unique features that cater to different cooking styles. Gas hobs offer quick heat adjustments; electric hobs ensure steady heating; induction hobs use electromagnetic fields for rapid cooking; ceramic hobs combine style with functionality.
Hob sizes vary, typically from 60 cm to 90 cm wide. Consider your kitchen space and cooking habits when choosing a size. A 60 cm hob usually suffices for small families or limited space, while larger sizes suit bigger households or avid cooks who need more burners.
Induction hobs are energy-efficient and cook food quickly using electromagnetic technology. They are safer due to the lack of open flames. Gas hobs provide instant heat control which many chefs prefer. Your choice depends on personal preference for speed, efficiency, and control.
Cleaning a hob requires specific methods based on its type. For gas hobs, remove grates and soak them in soapy water; wipe burners with a damp cloth. Electric and ceramic hobs need non-abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches. Induction hobs require gentle wiping with a soft cloth.
