How to Buy the Best Gas Hob to Suit Your Needs?
To make sure you’re getting a gas hob suitable for your needs it’s important to consider how many burners you need as well as the installation costs. A simple four-burner gas hob will be suitable for most households. If you’re planning on hosting grand dinner parties, however, you might want to consider hob with five, or maybe even six, burners.
It’s also important to remember that this type of hob needs to be fitted by an experienced gas engineer, so there will be installation costs involved. To decide if a gas hob is the right for you, compare the upfront costs with the potential benefits and see whether one outweighs the other.
Benefits of Owning a Gas Hob
- Running Cost
Cooking with gas is significantly cheaper than using electricity. In fact gas hobs are the cheapest type to run, even taking into account the slight heat loss due to the open flame.
- Response
Gas hobs provide instant heat that responds immediately when you turn the dials up or down. With traditional electric hobs there is a slight time lag when you turn the temperature up or down.
- Flexibility
Unlike induction hobs that require you to use only stainless steel and iron pans, you can use all types of pots and pans with your gas hob.
What Features to Look For in a Best-Selling Gas Hob?
Depending on your needs, there are different additional functions your gas hob might benefit from. Some of these can include:
- Number of Burners
Five-burner hobs have an extra cooking zone, which can come in handy if you’re preparing a big meal for the whole family. Keep in mind that because of this extra zone, however, you will need more available space on your countertop. This can make five burner gas hobs not so suitable for smaller kitchens. There are a limited number of six burners hobs available and the ViandPro range offer some excellent options.
- Wok Burner
Some gas hob models feature a larger wok burner that is ideal for using with a big stir-fry wok or any larger pot or pan. While there are some four-burner hobs that come with a wok burner, they’re not as common. In five-burner models, wok burners are a traditional feature.
- Ceramic Glass Base
Glass gas hobs have a sleek flat ceramic glass base. This makes them effortless to keep clean. These hob models can be on the pricier side though.
Why Does a Gas Hob Need Electricity Supply?
Even though gas is what powers the flame, your gas hob requires electricity for the ignition as well as the timer, lights and clock, if your hob has these.
Is it Easy to go From an Electric to a Gas Hob?
Swapping your gas hob for an electric is an overall hassle-free process since the gas can simply be turned off by a trained engineer.
Going from an electric hob to a gas one can be a trickier job. New pipes often need to be installed for the gas, which can result in an expensive installation process.
