Read on to find out what exactly to look for when buying a new gas hob.
1. Which gas hob sizes fit my kitchen?
A 78cm gas hob. A 60cm gas hob. A 30cm gas hob. Our gas hobs come in different widths to ensure you’ll find one that suits your needs and preferences. The 3-burner 78cm gas hob gives you 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 width of your kitchen worktop.
2. How many burners do I need?
A 3-burner, 78cm gas hob with a 3-burner is both beautiful and functional. To determine the right number and types of burners, do consider these factors:
- Space in your kitchen
- Your cooking habits
- Your household size
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. Alternatively, opt for a stainless steel finishing to achieve the industrial look.
A hob is the visual centrepiece of your kitchen, so it's crucial to select one that appeals to the eyes. 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 gas hob right for me?
If you ever dreamt of combining induction, electric and gas hobs, our Domino hobs are the answer. They can be arranged entirely to suit your preferences and go together perfectly in terms of looks.
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:
- Look for a hob with dishwasher-proof pan supports. When dirty, simply run them through the dishwasher. Refer to instruction manual for more details.
- After cooking, soak high-quality enamel pan supports in the sink. Then effortlessly wipe off the grime.
Bear these tips in mind when selecting a new appliance for your kitchen.
