Browse Our Selection of Kitchen Hobs

Hobs can be powered by gas or electricity, and each type has its pros and cons that might make a big difference in how you like to cook day to day.

Electric hobs come in different varieties: you might find ceramic heat plates that heat up quickly, fixed plates that are straightforward and easy to clean, or induction hobs that use clever technology to heat your pots and pans directly.

Gas hobs, on the other hand, give you that instant flame and are often the go-to for many traditional home cooks. They offer great control, letting you easily adjust the heat while you’re simmering your famous stew or cooking up a fry-up on a Sunday morning.

Hobs For Kitchen Stoves

There are several different types of kitchen hobs. The best one for you really depends on your cooking style and how your kitchen is set up.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are, in the strictest sense, essentially all the same – they feature raised plates and heat food via an open flame.

The beauty of a gas hob (and one of the reasons they’re favoured by most chefs) is that when you adjust the temperature, the heat changes immediately – but they’re not the only type of hob to offer such precise control. If you’re looking for hobs similar to gas but also with a simple design and reliable performance, browse from our range of ceramic hobs – we think you’ll love them!

At Ship It, we have a selection of hobs from big name brands such as NEFF and SIA to help you set up the perfect kitchen stove. This lets us offer a huge selection of different sizes, shapes and price points, with heat zones and designs to suit your preferences and lifestyle.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are gaining popularity because they are extremely safe and use less energy, as they only turn on when a pan is placed on its surface. They also share some similarities with gas hobs such as fast, precise cooking. With an induction hob, the heat is transferred to the pan instantly, while the hob itself stays cool. 

Induction hobs only activate with pans that have iron at the base are placed on them. Most pans contain iron as it acts well as a conductor of heat. So, depending on the material you may need to replace your pans to use them on an induction hob.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs with fixed hotplates are a popular option. They are safe, easy to use and incredibly convenient because they heat up quickly. They’re also a surprisingly affordable option for a kitchen stove.

Many cookers come with built-in hobs, but if you’re looking for a separate hob, we’re confident you’ll love our selection. Our frameless induction and ceramic hobs fit seamlessly into contemporary kitchens. Meanwhile, traditional gas hobs offer precise temperature control and are the preferred choice of many discerning chefs.
