Solid Plate Hobs FAQs
-
What is a solid plate hob?
Solid plate hobs, or electric plate hobs, are one of the most traditional styles of hobs available. They use a distinctive round cooking zone, usually cast iron, that is slightly elevated from the cooktop. These metal plates heat up using hidden electrical elements, which transfer heat to your cookware.
-
What kind of pans are best for solid plate hobs?
The best pans for a solid plate hob have a totally flat bottom surface. This allows the pan to sit flush to the heated plate, maximising heat transfer and allowing even heating. Cookware with a thick base is ideal as it helps distribute heat evenly and prevents scorching. You should avoid pans with warped or curved bases, which will be less efficient and potentially unstable.
A solid plate hob is suitable for use with a range of durable cookware materials, from cast iron and stainless steel to copper and aluminium.
