Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are a stylish and practical option that sits in a flush position with the counter to give it a contemporary appearance. The hobs operate by passing an electric current through coiled components beneath the glass surface. These elements heat up and then transfer that energy to the pan. Spills and splatters are easily cleaned by using the flat surface. The downside is that they can be susceptible to stains, especially from certain liquids or foods and therefore it is advised to avoid using harsh cleaners.

Electric ceramic hobs are an ideal option for those looking to save money but don't need a gas or induction cooktop. They take longer to heat than other kinds of hobs, and they may not be as efficient if the cooking zones don't coincide with your pans. This is due to the fact that the entire cooking zone heats up and can then transfer some of the heat to the pan, and waste some energy.

Certain ceramic hobs are susceptible to overheating. To prevent this, they often come with built in residual heat indicators which tell you that the hob is hot after cooking. This is to avoid accidents and to avoid touching the hot surface of the hob.

They are easy to clean, and they produce instant controlled heat that's evenly distributed. They're also energy efficient and don't require combustion, thereby helping to reduce your carbon footprint.

Induction Hobs

Like the name suggests, these hobs use induction technology to heat up pans. It works by putting coils beneath each cooking zone which, when activated emit magnetic fields that directly heat the bottom of any iron-based pan placed on it. This helps save energy since the hob remains cool until you place a pan over it. It is also easier to clean, and safer for children.

Some induction hobs come with an area of flexizone on the left side that allows you to connect two zones into one large zone - ideal for those who have larger pots and pans. Some models, like this model with WiFi connectivity from Samsung provide more advanced features, such as a pause function that reduces the temperature when you remove your pan. SmartThings lets you control the appliance remotely. You can set up timers, alerts, ovens and hobs even turn on and off the hob while you are not at home.

Induction hobs are also among the most energy efficient available. The reason for this is that the heat is created and stored in the pan itself, instead of the surface of the cooker's hood. Plus, they typically close more quickly when the pan is not detected or when the pan is removed, which reduces the residual heat.

Induction hobs are more expensive than other types of electric hobs and ovens, but they usually save money on your utility bills over the long haul because they heat up and cool down faster than traditional ceramic stoves.

Induction hobs use electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware, reducing wasted energy by heating food rather than the kitchen's surface. Induction hobs are more secure than gas stoves since they have a cool-to-touch surface.

On the other hand, gas hobs aren't as efficient as induction models and can result in an accumulation of gases in the air, which could be unhealthy if inhaled. Fortunately, many gas hobs are equipped with safety features that minimize the chance of burns and accidents, like automatic shut-off functions, as well as burner grates to prevent splatters from falling into crevices.
