Gas Hobs
Gas hobs have been the preferred choice of amateur and professional cooks for many years, thanks to their visible heat and ease of control. They also tend to distribute the heat more evenly, which makes cooking easier. However their effectiveness isn't as great as other types of hob and they may take longer to warm up. Additionally, they require a professional installation and proper ventilation for the kitchen to get rid of smoke from combustion.
Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth Top)
Electric hobs utilize an induction plate to heat your cookware directly so they're usually much quicker and more efficient than traditional gas hobs. They don't create any harmful emissions and are easier to clean. However, they don't have the same flame-cooked charm and may be unsuitable for homes with children or those with medical equipment like pacemakers.
