Gas Hobs
Gas hobs are a popular choice. They have burner rings and grates that pots and pans rest on. They are fast to heat up and permit precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking techniques, from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs tend to be less expensive than electric ones since they are powered by a natural gas source.

Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs have contemporary, sleek appearance and is surprisingly quick to heat up and clean. There are a myriad of styles to choose from including ultra-sleek, flat and traditional shapes such as squares and rectangles. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use and they typically have built-in residual heat indicators that switch off the zone when they've been used and will be too hot to touch or clean in only a few minutes.

Electric Hobs
