The design of the elevated gas hob provides added security by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame, eliminating the possibility of burning. This elevated construction does require extra care when cleaning or operating the hob in order to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are operated manually and lit by a matches. More recent models feature an automatic igniter that makes sure the gas is lit in a timely manner.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers looking for a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans rather than an oven or a plate that is heated or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are positioned beneath the glass ceramic surface. An alternating electric current is run through them. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and is more efficient in terms of energy use. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to feel and easy to clean.
