How do I pick the right hob width and number of cooking zones for my kitchen?

Look at the space you have and how you cook. Standard kitchens commonly use 60cm hobs with four burners, while 75cm and 85–90cm options give you five or more zones for larger pans or simultaneous cooking. If you often cook for a family or like multiple pots on the boil, a 75cm five-burner model will suit you better; for compact spaces a 56cm or 60cm four-burner is the most practical fit.

Which finish is easiest to keep clean and which one looks best in a traditional kitchen?

Stainless steel is tough and forgiving, so it hides wear and handles heavy use well,ideal for traditional or family kitchens. Black glass or gas-on-glass hobs give a sleek, contemporary look and wipe down quickly, but they can show fingerprints and streaks more easily. Enamelled steel is budget friendly and durable, though it may chip if you drop heavy cookware.

What are the practical differences between a gas-on-glass hob and a traditional stainless steel gas hob?

Gas-on-glass hobs have a smooth glass surface that makes wiping spillages straightforward and gives a modern aesthetic, while traditional stainless steel models offer robust construction and often heavier-duty pan supports. If you use cast-iron pans regularly, stainless steel with strong supports will feel more secure; if you want a seamless look and easier cleaning, a black glass gas-on-glass hob is a good match.

What control and safety features do these hobs offer, and what should I look for?

Most models use rotary dials for simple, tactile control, and a few combine dials with touch features. Residual heat indicators are uncommon on gas hobs but are present on a small number of models, and only a few include a child lock feature, so check individual specifications if those are important. For everyday use, rotary controls are reliable and straightforward, but if you have young children look specifically for models that list a child lock.

Are gas hobs a sensible choice if I want cooking that works during power cuts and suits traditional recipes?

Yes. Gas hobs deliver instant heat and can operate without electricity, so you won't be left without a cooker during a power outage, and they are well suited to techniques that need visual flame control. That practicality, combined with the selection of traditional stainless finishes, is why gas remains a strong choice for anyone who values quick response and classic cooking methods.
