Gas is piped into the burners of a gas hob through an opening at the back. When you turn a cooker control knob, it triggers an adjustable valve regulator that allows gas to flow into the burners. Once activated, the burners are ready to cook.

Aside from their convenience and ease of use, gas hobs are also easier to clean than gas stoves. While a traditional gas stove has a lot of crevices where food spills could be accumulated, a modern gas hob has a smooth glass surface that eliminates these issues and is easy to wipe clean.

Electricity

A hob is a key element of any kitchen fitted with. It can be a gas or electric hob, or even a solid plate cooker that is a classic option.

Gas induction hobs can be made with a stainless-steel finishing for a more traditional appearance. They are also more manageable and faster to heat up than a standard gas stove. They employ an induction element that is used to directly heat your pans, which stops any heat that is left over from being wasted around the stove similar to a gas cooker.

Induction hobs are a little more costly to purchase, but they are usually cheaper to run as they heat up quicker than gas and produce less residual heat. They also are more consistent in their temperature, which means you're less likely end up with hot spots on your hob.

This is accomplished through copper coils that are located beneath the glass surface that emit an electromagnetic field when switched on, which creates an electric current that flows through the pan's metallic surface to create eddy currents and create heat.

The advantage of this is that only the surface of your cooktop - not the entire surface of the glass cooktop is heated, making it safer to handle and clean too. It also cooks food faster and boils water more quickly than traditional models.

However, induction technology doesn't come without its disadvantages. For starters, you can't make use of non-ferrous metals or aluminium pans without iron or copper in the bottom of the pan, since they are poor conductors for electricity. Today you can find a variety of induction-ready pans, including enameled cast iron and stainless steal. Even glass, if equipped with an induction-ready foundation, will work.

Induction hobs use less energy than gas and radiant electric counterparts, and waste very little in the form of heat into the air. This efficiency is one reason why the EPA awarded induction cooktops their Energy Star Emerging Technology award and can help you save a significant amount on your utility bills.
