A popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as a grate on which pots and pans are placed on. They are quick to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can also accommodate many cooking techniques such as boiling water to grilling meats. Gas hobs tend to be more affordable than electric hobs because they utilize natural gas as their source.

Induction hobs also are considered to be the most efficient cooking stove because they consume less power and produce no heat that remains. However, because they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, and it is recommended to avoid using them near them.

Electric Hobs
