Gas hobs are popular for their instant heating and precise control of flame. They are compatible with a variety of cookware, and are perfect to fry foods that require precise temperatures, for example, steaks.

Gas hobs

A gas hob makes use of natural gas to generate flames that heat pans and pots. The burners can be controlled by turning a knob to alter the flame size and the amount of heat produced. Modern gas hobs are equipped with safety features, such as flame failure devices, which stop the burners when the flame ceases to burn. This prevents accidental fires.

Gas hobs are a common option for cooking due to their speed and accuracy. They can quickly reach high temperatures which makes them ideal for searing meats or boiling water. They can be adjusted to lower temperatures for delicate dishes and sauces. Also, a gas cooktop is less likely to cause food to stick, which may be a problem for some electric cooktops.

While they aren't as energy-efficient as induction hobs, gas hobs require a small amount of electricity when operating. Induction models are more expensive initially, so they can be an excellent choice for kitchens with a limited budget. However, the cost of maintenance of a gas stove are determined by the local natural gas or LPG prices, which can vary considerably.

While the advantages of a gas cooker are clear, it's important to be aware of the health risks that come with this type of cooktop. Research has shown that cooking with gas hobs can create indoor pollutants that are well over the controlled UK and EU air quality standards. These pollutants are produced by the interaction of a naked flame with cooking oil that has evaporated in the cookware. This is especially prevalent when using nonstick pans with gas hobs. To minimize hobs and ovens of these contaminants it is essential to avoid burning any flammable substances close to a gas burner.

Electric hobs

There are a lot of choices available to you regardless of whether you're looking for an electric hob in your kitchen or to replace an old one. It is important to consider your cooking requirements and how you want your new hob to appear however, there are practical considerations, such as how much space you have and what kind of energy efficiency you're seeking.

A popular option for modern homes, electric hobs are available in a variety of designs and finishes, from simple coil hobs to sophisticated ceramic or glass models with touch controls. Electric hobs are relatively easy to clean, and they typically provide better control of temperature than gas hobs. However, they may take longer to heat and cool down.


The domino hob is yet another popular style of hob. It is available in electric and ceramic versions. The domino hobs are designed to be flush against the kitchen worktop. They feature an even surface that is easy to clean and the heating elements are concealed beneath. When they are turned on, the hobs glow with a bright red hue and provide an even distribution of heat throughout the cooking zone.

A lot of them have safety features, such as hot indicators to alert you when the area is still too hot to touch. Other features include child locks that prevent anyone from operating the hob.

Hobs with induction

In contrast to electric and gas hobs that use magnetism instead of direct heat to warm pots and pans. Induction hobs have coils under the glass surface, which run a varying electric current. When an induction-compatible cookware is placed on the top, the magnetic field generates electricity in the iron core of the pan, which then heats it, and in turn cooks the food inside. These hobs are known for their speedy cooking as well as being energy efficient. Many homeowners report a reduction in their overall cost of cooking.

Some sources indicate that induction hobs emit high levels of electromagnetic fields - with frequencies in the kilohertz range when used. When you are at a distance that isn't too far from the appliance, these fields will not affect your health and they decrease as you get further away. However, these magnetic fields may affect pacemakers, so it's best to maintain a minimum distance of five to ten centimetres between the cooker and your pacemaker.

Induction hobs also require specific cookware. These pans must have a flat base and are constructed of steel or iron with an added magnetic layer. Cast iron is a popular choice however, you can also find induction compatible stainless steel as well as aluminum and copper (check the label to confirm compatibility). There are also dual ring designs on certain hobs, which combine smaller and larger cooking zones to suit different sizes of pans.

Some hobs have a child lock to prevent children from accidentally turning the appliance on or altering settings. Most of the hobs we've reviewed feature this functionality, which is great for reassuring parents. We always suggest that hobs be handled with care and placed in a way that they are not easily tripped or sat upon.

Gas on Glass

Gas on glass hobs provide an elegant look which is ideal for modern modular kitchens. The sealed burner prevents dirt and impurities from escaping. They are also easy to clean and are a great choice for homes with busy families.

The glass used on these kinds of hobs is made from toughened glass that is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant. The burners are coated with stainless steel and chromium to increase their durability. These features make the hobs durable and long-lasting. These features are essential particularly for safety.

One of the main benefits of cooking with gas on glass is that they are simpler to clean than traditional stainless steel models. It is essential to remember that only flat-bottomed pans and pots should be used on glass cooktops. This is because a round bottom will cause too much of the surface to come in contact with the burners, resulting in overheating and causing damage.

Glass on glass cooktops are also less maintenance-intensive than stainless steel models. Stainless steel stoves must be cleaned regularly to avoid burning and other damage. However glass cooktops can be cleaned easily with sponge or cloth and some cleaning solution. They also come with an integrated shut off valve that can turn off the flames in the event that they are accidentally turned off.
