Which is the best gas hob for your needs?
What is a gas hob and what to look for when buying one? What is the best 5 burner gas hob for your needs? Which gas hob dimensions are available? Is a domino gas hob a good choice? These are all common questions when in the market for a new appliance. We're here to help you find the right one.
When choosing a new gas hob, you'll want to first determine the required size as well as how many burners it should have. Then choose the finish: stainless steel and black tempered glass are popular options. Innovations like FlameSelect provide precise control of the flame and make gas cooking even more enjoyable.
Read on to find out what exactly to look for when buying a new gas hob.
1. Which gas hob sizes fit my kitchen?
Our gas hobs come in different widths to ensure you'll find one that suits your needs and preferences. One benefit of an extra-wide gas hob: ample space to cook fish, boil pasta and steam broccoli in parallel.
Ultimately, the best gas hob for you depends on factors like your cooking habits and the width of your kitchen worktop.
2. How many burners do I need?
A 4-burner gas hob is both beautiful and functional. But a gas hob with either 2 burners or 3 burners might perfectly suit your needs. To determine the right number and types of burners, consider these key factors:
- Space in your kitchen
- Your cooking habits
- Your household size
Pro tip: Want to regularly whip up elaborate meals, and have ample space at your disposal? You won't regret selecting a Bosch 4-ring gas hob.
3. Which finish suits my tastes?
Glass on a gas hob is trending. An elegant black gas hob – in tempered glass or ceramic – adds a sophisticated note to the heart of your home. Meanwhile, a clean-cut white gas hob never goes out of style. For an industrial edge, there's stainless steel or black metal.
A hob is the visual centrepiece of your kitchen, so it's crucial to select one with eye appeal. After all, shouldn't your gas hob look as good as it cooks?
Pro tip: Visit a local Bosch retailer to see and touch the surfaces first-hand.
4. Is a domino hob right for me?
What is a domino hob? It's a combination hob, also called a hybrid hob or mixed fuel hob, that provides both gas and electric burners in one hob. Pair a 30cm induction hob with your gas stove to build a bespoke hob.
5. What gas hob innovations are there?
If it's been awhile since you last bought a gas hob, you'll be pleased to discover FlameSelect, which gives you precise control of the flame.
The advantages? A consistently high temperature to sear a steak. Or a consistently low one to cook creamy scrambled eggs. Making ratatouille? Medium heat always yields perfect results.
Available on most of our models, FlameSelect lets you choose from nine pre-defined power levels. So you always know exactly how strong the flame is – even though you can't see it.
6. What features make cleaning easier?
Let's be honest: even the world's biggest gas hob fans wish there were an easier way to remove the traces of last night's lip-smacking osso buco. While we can't (yet) offer you a self-cleaning hob, we do have some tips:
- After cooking, soak high-quality enamel pan supports in the sink. Then effortlessly wipe off the grime.
- A glass gas hob with rounded edges is generally easier to clean. Why? Because the dirt has nowhere to collect.
Bear these tips in mind when selecting a new appliance for your kitchen.
