A quality hob is an essential kitchen appliance and there's many styles to choose from. However, it's not just about style - the functionality of a kitchen appliance can be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful cooking experience.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs have been the preferred choice of cooks and amateurs for many years due to their visible heat and ease of control. They also tend to distribute heat more evenly, which makes cooking easier. However their efficiency isn't as efficient than other types of hobs and they are slower to warm up. Additionally, they require expert installation and adequate ventilation in the kitchen to eliminate the fumes from combustion.

Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth-Top)

Electric hobs heat your cookware using an induction plate, which is usually faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They don't create the same amount of harmful emissions and are easy to clean. However they don't have the same appeal of flame-cooked cooking and could be incompatible with homes that have children or with medical equipment such as pacemakers.
