Souped Up Recipes Carbon Steel Wok for Electric, Induction and Gas Stoves (Lid, Spatula and User Guide Video Included)

Product Information

If you’re choosing gas, place it away from a window as any draughts can extinguish flames. It is also dangerour to lean over any hob to open a window. Getting A Good Deal

Sliding controls give you an incredibly modern experience. Using the touch screen, simply turn the chosen hob on and then turn up the heat. Reducing the temperature is easy when the time comes, too. It can also detect a pan when in place, so if you just press the temperature control, it knows that’s the one to turn on. They also work a bit differently to other options. The actual hob surface doesn’t heat up, but rather the base of the pan thanks to magnetism technology. You could even be boiling water faster than with a kettle! It makes it a very energy efficient option as no heat is wasted, and the risk of burns or heat damage is reduced. Pots and pans can sometimes be a bit uneven on gas hobs due to the pan supports, but these are incredibly strong, stable and wide. Each is individual for easy cleaning. Talking of cleaning, they sit precisely over the actual burner, leaving some space in the middle of the hob. No more removing them all to wipe the surface of the appliance, as you could even do it as things are boiling away. One of the more pricey induction hobs on our list, but at the end of the day you’re making an investment. You want something which will last for years, while never being frustrating to use and giving fabulous results. This is a good bet, and certainly for those who want their hob to be a centre piece.Just tap the dedicated Bridge button, and they will share the same temperature settings without you having to fine-tune yet again. Each single hob space will also adapt to the size of your pan, so whether you’re boiling some peas in a milk pan or got a frying pan on the go, MaxiSense will automatically adjust to fit the base. While there are four cooking zones, one of these is an extra large rectangular space. It is split into two but designed to accommodate larger pans or grill devices. Both sections can be used simultaneously. No more having to centralise foods in the pan to get the heat or cook in batches. You are pretty flexible over which type of pan you use on your hob, except if you choose an induction. For this, you need pots and pans with a magnetised base. This is because heat is transferred to the bases as opposed to the pan using the heat of the hob. They are often made from stainless steel, enamelled steel or cast iron, so aluminium, copper or ceramic isn’t appropriate.

There are four cooking zones, each with nine power settings which makes boiling, frying, simmering and everything in between easier than ever. The layout of all the hobs is spacious, so you can move the pans about without disturbing anything else cooking. Not only are they well-spaced, but the stable pan supports will ensure they all remain firmly in place, so there are no accidents. There is a free choice of heat settings, so if you like to have full flexibility and control over your creations, then the flame will respond to your adjustments.Four burners or cooking zones is the norm, but some models have up to eight. A popular addition for many gas models is an extra large wok burner, usually situated in the centre of the space, which is perfect if you often make stir fries and other dedicated cuisines. The residual power indicator tells you what heat level the hob is currently at, whether you have it turned up full or have since turned it off and need to monitor as it cools down. Once the number is away, it is cool to touch. Thanks to the design of this gas hob, it has never been easier to use all of the burners at the same time.

If you have a compatible cooker hood, the Hob2Hood feature means you can switch on your hood without lifting a finger. The hob turning on will also switch the fan and light on, and if you turn the heat up, the power of the fan will increase in accordance. You can control each burner via a clear, easy to adjust dial, and the settings are easy to read so there is no guessing involved. The residual heat indicator lets you know when they are still too hot to touch or clean. When the time to clean it does come, it is easy to wipe down as everything is flat.Hate waiting for water to boil in the pan? With PowerBoost, an added jump in power can have water boiling in just two minutes. Great for last-minute pasta dishes and searing steaks. There is a FlexZone+ area, a zone which you can make larger to accommodate big pans such as woks or long frying pans which otherwise wouldn’t fit. It is also great for smaller milk pans or those little single frying egg pans, as it will also go smaller too. You will also make use of the Low Temperature setting, which is ideal for melting butter and chocolate or preparing sauces without risk of burning. There is also such a thing as Flexi Induction hobs now. Rather than being limited to four or five zones, you are free to use any size you need, so cooking with woks or griddles is made so much easier and you have the freedom to be fully creative.
