The hob buyers guide

Gas cooking is perhaps the most traditional and popular choice, providing an efficient and responsive way of cooking with many advantages including even heat distribution and immediate reaction.

This visible heat source offers complete controllability and intensive heat when you need it.

Induction hobs offer quick heat-up times, user-friendly touch controls and flat easy-to-clean surfaces. Due to the way in which induction technology works (by using a magnetic field to only heat the contents of the pan), there is very little heat loss and it is the safest option available. Induction is also faster than gas cooking taking only a little over a minute to heat a pint of water. 

The HOBD induction hobs also offer an integrated hood, a great space-saving solution.

Ceramic hobs incorporate the latest technology and many innovative features to enhance their performance quality. They are designed to coordinate with the various oven styles and offer excellent cooking results. The Smeg range offer easy-to-use touch controls as well as dials so there is something for everyone.

Designed for those who appreciate both gas and induction cooking methods with a real passion for cooking. By combining traditional gas burners with modern induction technology, maximum versatility can now be found in one appliance.
