Studies have shown that gas hobs create indoor air pollution that is far more than the UK and EU standards for air pollution. These pollutants are caused by the interaction between a naked flame and vaporised oil released from the cookware. This is especially prevalent when using nonstick cookware with gas hobs. To minimize the risk of these contaminants it is essential to avoid burning flammable materials near a gas burner.

Electric hobs

If you're looking for an electric hob to add to your kitchen or replace an old one, there's a lot of options available. You must consider your cooking requirements and how you would like your new stove to be designed. However, you must also consider practical factors such as the amount of space you have available and the energy efficiency rating you are seeking.

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

Another style of hob that's becoming a favorite among homeowners is the domino hob which comes in both electric and ceramic versions. They 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 turned on, these hobs light up in a bright red color and offer a uniform distribution of heat throughout the cooking area.

Some have safety features such as hot indicators to warn you if the area is still too hot to touch or child locks that prevent anyone from operating the hob.

Hobs with induction

Unlike gas and electric hobs, induction hobs make use of magnetism instead of direct heat to warm pots and pans. Induction hobs have coils beneath the glass surface, which run through a variable electric current. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on top of the hob, the magnetic force creates electricity in the pan's iron core, which warms it and then cooks the food inside. Induction hobs are renowned for their speedy cooking and are energy efficient. Many homeowners have reported an improvement in their overall cost of cooking.

According to some sources According to some sources, induction hobs produce high levels of electromagnetic fields with frequencies in the Kilohertz band when they are used. These fields should not affect your health at normal distances and they decrease when you increase the distance. These magnetic fields could interfere with pacemakers, which is why it is advised to keep a minimum to ten centimetres distance between the appliance and the pacemaker.

Induction hobs also require specialized cookware. These cookwares must have a flat bottom, and are typically made of iron or steel with a magnetic layer added; cast iron is a popular option, but you can also find induction-compatible stainless steel or copper, as well as aluminum (check the label for compatibility). You may also see dual ring designs on some hobs that combine smaller and larger cooking zones to fit various sizes of pans.


The majority of induction hobs feature a touch control system, which has power bars on each cooking zone and you can select your preferred heat level by sliding your fingers across the power bar - left to right increases the power, while right to left decreases it. Additionally, some hobs come with a slider, which works just like the one on an iPhone by swiping your finger across to select the ring and then tap the power bar for the setting you want.

Certain hobs have the option of a child lock to prevent children from accidentally turning the hob on or changing settings. The majority of the hobs we've reviewed feature this feature, which is a great way to reassure parents. We always recommend a careful handling of hobs as well as a sensible placement, making sure the plug isn't tripped over or sat on.

Glass and Gas

Gas on glass hobs are ideal for modern modular kitchens. They offer an elegant and sleek appearance. They have a sealed burner that prevents dust or impure substances from entering. They are also easy-to-clean making them a great option for busy families.

The glass on these types of hobs is toughened glass that is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant. The burners have also been coated with stainless steel and chromium to increase durability. These features make the hobs tough and long-lasting. These features are important particularly when it comes to safety.

Gas cooktops with glass tops are easier to clean than stainless steel models. However it is essential to note that you must only use flat-bottomed pans and pans for a glass cooktop. A rounded bottom can cause excessive surface coming into contact with the burners. This can cause damage and overheating.

Another benefit of glass on glass cooktops is that they don't require as much maintenance as stainless steel models. The stainless steel stoves need to be cleaned regularly to avoid burning and other harms. However glass cooktops can be cleaned using a sponge or cloth, and a cleaning solution. They also have an inbuilt shut off valve which will turn off the flames in the event that they accidentally turn off.

Gas stoves are available in a wide range of sizes and finishes that can be adapted to any kitchen decor or style. There are a variety of options available for you to choose from minimalistic designs that blend seamlessly with other appliances or a sleek and contemporary look.
