Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are a very popular option. They have burner rings as well as grates that pots and pans rest on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide range of cooking methods, from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric ones because they use natural gas as a source of energy.

Regular cleaning is essential to keep your stove in top condition. This is especially crucial if you have a more traditional freestanding model.

However, the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be susceptible to chips and scratches. This is a bigger problem if you drag pans across it instead than lifting them by their handles. Therefore, we recommend taking extra care when handling and moving cookware on and off the hob.

This can be a problem if you are working in a crowded kitchen or want to quickly switch between cooking zones to another.

Some induction hobs have pre-programmed settings to suit specific recipes or food kinds. This is a great way to save time while cooking.

Electric Hobs
