Hobs

Which type of hob

should I get?

Your hob is likely to be used as much as, if not more than,

your oven. To help you choose the right hob for your home

Karl, the Bosch Engineer has answered some of your most

frequently asked questions.

Q: Which is the easiest type of

hob to install?

A: Gas hobs need to be installed

by a registered gas engineer and

most electric hobs need to be

installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

At Bosch, however, we have one

induction hob (product code

P1A611B68B) that can be installed

as simply as plugging in any

electrical appliance.

Q: Are there any differences in the

design or style of the hobs?

A: Yes. Induction and ceramic electric

hobs have contemporary touch

controls, whereas gas hobs have

dial controls. Within gas hobs

there are a wide selection of

designs and materials, including

tempered glass bases and

brushed steel bases, as well

as different colours.

Q: Which type of hob is the fastest?

A: Induction hobs are the fastest.

They can boil liquids nearly twice

as fast as gas* and nearly three

times faster than ceramic

electric hobs.

Q: Which is the most

energy efﬁcient?

A: Whilst gas is cheaper to use than

electricity, a lot of the heat is

wasted. Induction hobs only heat

the area in contact with the base

of the pan and, as they heat the

contents faster, they are also

the most energy efﬁcient way

of cooking.

Q: Do I need any special pots

or pans?

A: All pots and pans are suitable

for use on ceramic electric or

gas hobs. Induction hobs require

special ‘ferrous pans’ as these are

magnetic, which is what makes

induction heat work. If you’re

not sure if your existing pans are

ferrous, simply hold up a fridge

magnet to the base of the pan

and if it sticks, you can use it on

an induction hob.

Q: Which is the easiest type of

hob to clean?

A: Because induction hobs only

heat the base of the pan, the

glass around the zone remains

cool so any spillages do not burn

on and can simply be wiped

away. We have made many of the

pan supports on our gas hobs

dishwasher safe, so if you prefer

cooking with gas then this saves

you time and effort in keeping

the supports clean.

*Based on time required to heat 2 litres of water at 15°C to 90°C using Bosch hobs.
