The electric ignition lets you start cooking instantly, while the visible flame gives you clear control over the heat, allowing for precise temperature control and an efficient cooking experience.

What is a gas hob?

A gas hob, commonly referred to as a gas cooktop, is a kitchen appliance that uses natural gas or propane to provide heat for cooking. It features multiple burners on the stovetop, which allows for the simultaneous preparation of various dishes. Gas hobs are favored for their immediate heat control, making cooking both efficient and enjoyable.

Types of gas hobs

Gas hobs come in two main installation types: built-in and freestanding.

• A built-in gas hob is integrated into the kitchen countertop, providing a seamless and modern look. This type is ideal for those who prefer a permanent fixture in their kitchen.
• On the other hand, a tabletop gas hob or a portable gas burner is a standalone unit that can be easily moved and placed wherever needed, offering flexibility and convenience for various kitchen layouts.

Gas hob sizes & capacity

Gas hobs are available in various sizes and capacities to suit different cooking needs and kitchen spaces. Built-in gas hobs typically range from 60cm to 90cm, while tabletop gas hobs can vary more widely in size. The capacity of gas hobs is categorized by the number of burners:

• 2-burner gas stove: Suitable for small households or limited kitchen space, ideal for 1-2 people.
• 3-burner gas stove: Offers a balance between space and functionality, perfect for families of 3-4 people.
• 4+ burner gas stove: Provides maximum cooking flexibility, catering to larger families or avid home chefs who require multiple cooking zones.

Electric hobs vs gas hobs

Electric hobs and gas hobs each offer unique benefits. Gas hobs provide immediate heat and precise temperature control, perfect for searing and simmering. They are favored by chefs for their visible flame and traditional cooking experience.

Electric hobs, including induction and radiant models, are easier to clean and heat up faster, making them ideal for quick meals. Induction hobs are especially energy-efficient and provide rapid heating.

The choice between electric and gas hobs depends on individual cooking preferences and kitchen setups.
