Gas and Electric Hobs and Cookers in South Africa
Types of hobs
Hobs come in five main types: ceramic, induction, solid-plate
electric hobs, gas and gas glass hobs.Ceramic hobs
Ceramic hobs are the easiest hobs to keep clean
Ceramic hobs are electric with a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.
They’re easy to use and heat up quickly, but heat distribution
around the bottom of pans isn’t as good as when cooking on gas.
Own-brand ceramic hobs from high-street stores and online also
offer a cheaper alternative.
Pros Easy to keep clean.
Cons Heat distribution is better with gas. |

Induction hobs
Induction hobs only heat the pan, which means you can touch the
adjacent surface without burning yourself.
Rather than the cooking surface heating up, a magnetic field is
created between the pan and an element underneath the glass top.
Because the pan rather than the cooking surface heats up, induction
hobs are quicker than other types of hob, and are cheaper to run
because they use only the precise amount of energy you need.
Because of the powerful electromagnetic field, induction may not be
suitable if you have a pacemaker fitted, and they can be noisy when
more than one cooking zone is in use.
Pros Induction hobs are a quick, safe
and efficient method of cooking.
Cons Expensive, special pans needed, noisy. |
