Product Information

Five-ring hobs give you more space and cooking flexibility. The fifth zone is often a powerful wok burner that gives an intense, rapid source of heat, perfect for a crunchy stir-fry.

Rice and pasta dishes work best cooked on high for the shortest time possible. Always use easy-cook rice, rinsed well first – the more starch you rinse from the rice, the better the finished result.The weak link in Hob is, unfortunately, the platforming. The rigid, fixed perspective can make it difficult to gauge the distance between platforms at times, and the jumping feels a little too floaty and imprecise. Most of the deaths I suffered were not at the hands of club-wielding baddies, but falling down bottomless pits or being zapped by electrified floors. At the cutting edge of hob design is the venting hob, a special type of two in one appliance that has a built-in extractor fan in an induction hob. This does away with the need for a cooker hood.

They have auto-ignition and are controlled with chunky dials. Dual zones On electric hobs, this allows you to use an inner zone within the main ring, which saves energy when cooking with smaller pans. Hobs are usually guaranteed for two years by larger retailers such as Currys and John Lewis, although some offer more. Sometimes retailers offer a longer guarantee for parts, and a shorter one for labour. Of the various types of hob, induction hobs are the most energy efficient. This is because only the pan is heated up rather than the hob surface.

Hobs aren’t yet covered by the new right to repair law that came in for washing machines, fridges and some other appliances in July 2021. This law obliges manufacturers to have spare parts available for up to 10 years after the appliance is discontinued. After switching off, the glass takes a while to cool down, so you'll need to take care not to touch it. Most ceramic hobs have residual-heat indicators to warn you if a cooking zone is still hot. With so many different slow cookers out there, choosing the right one for you can be confusing. Here are a few questions you might want to consider. Wok burners Some gas hobs have a large, high-powered wok burner that provides intense, rapid heat. These are designed for stir-fry cooking. Occasionally you find induction hobs with a dedicated wok zone consisting of a curved indentation in the hob's surface. Hotpoint Once out of guarantee, Hotpoint will supply a quote for the cost of sending out one of its engineers to fix the fault with your hob, before you're committed to paying.

If your hob breaks down when it's still under guarantee, your first port of call should be the retailer, which should fix it for free or offer you a replacement. The inner pot needs to be at room temperature before you start cooking. If you've kept a slow cooker dish in the fridge, you must wait for it to warm up before turning it on. A gas-on-glass hob is a standard hob that’s mounted under ceramic glass. This gives it a modern feel and makes it simpler to keep clean. Which? Trusted Traders will help you to find a local company that can assess what’s wrong and maybe fix it on the spot.Induction hobs need pans with enough iron in them to work, and not all have this, so you might need to buy some new pans. Their glass surfaces do get hot, but not as hot as ceramic hob surfaces, where the glass itself is heated. This is a useful safety feature. Most ceramic, gas and induction hobs are about 60cm wide. Hobs that are slightly wider should still fit a standard 60cm gap, as they’re designed to overlap the worktop. The size of hob depends on the size of the burners or hob rings, which varies between models. Five-zone hobs Size: With sizes starting at 1-litre through to a whopping 6.5-litres, choosing the right size for you is imperative. The smallest sizes are suitable when cooking for one or two. 3-litres to 4.5-litres (one of the most popular sizes on the market) serve four, and the large 6-6.5-litre models are super for families and batch cooking. It's also worth bearing in mind that the capacity stated on the sales blurb is the size of the bowl, not the working capacity, which can sometimes be half that.
