Gas hobs use natural gas to produce flames that heat pots and pans. The burners can be controlled by turning a knob to adjust the size of the flame and the amount of heat produced. Modern gas hobs feature safety features like flame failure devices that stop the burners if the flame goes out to prevent accidental fires.

Gas hobs are now a popular choice for cooking because of their speed and accuracy. They are able to quickly reach high temperatures, which makes them ideal for boiling water or searing meats.

These pollutants are caused by the interaction of a naked flame and cooking oil that has evaporated in the cookware. This is particularly common when cooking with non-stick pans which are typically used with gas hobs. To minimize the chance of exposure to these pollutants, it's important to avoid burning any flammable materials near a gas burner.

You must consider your cooking requirements and how you would like your new hob designed.

Electric hobs are a common choice in modern homes. They are available in a range of designs and finishes that range from basic coil hobs that have touch controls to elegant ceramic or tempered glass models. Electric hobs are relatively simple to clean, and they generally provide more precise control of temperatures than gas hobs. However, they may take longer to heat up and cool down.

Another style of hob that's become a firm favourite with homeowners is the domino hob which comes in both electric and ceramic versions.

Induction hobs

Unlike gas and electric hobs that use magnetism, not direct heat to warm pots and pans. Induction hobs have coils beneath the glass surface that run a varying electric current. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on top of the hob, the magnetic force creates electricity in the pan's iron core, which heats it and indirectly cooks whatever is inside. These hobs are famous for cooking faster and being energy efficient. Many homeowners have reported a reduction in their overall cost of cooking.

There are some sources that indicate that induction hobs release high levels of electromagnetic fields at frequencies in the kilohertz spectrum - when used.

However these magnetic fields can affect pacemakers, oven (sites) therefore it is advised to maintain a minimum distance of 5-10 centimeters between the cooker and any pacemaker.

Induction hobs require special cookware. These pans need to have a flat bottom, and are typically made of steel or iron with a magnetic layer added casting iron is a popular choice however, you can find stainless steel that is compatible with induction as well as copper and aluminum (check the label for compatibility).

Glass cooktops on gas cooktops are less difficult to clean than stainless steel ones. It is essential to remember that only flat-bottomed pans and pots should be used on glass cooktops. This is because a round bottom can cause too much of the surface to come into contact with the burners, which can result in overheating and possibly causing damage.

Glass on glass cooktops are also less maintenance-intensive than stainless steel models. Stainless steel stoves need to be cleaned regularly to prevent burns and other damage. However glass cooktops can simply be cleaned with sponge or cloth and some cleaning solution. In addition, these cooktops come with built-in shut-off valves that turns off the flame when it is accidentally shut off.
