Freestanding Hobs: 3 things to consider before buying
Before choosing a freestanding hob, measure your kitchen space to ensure it fits comfortably. Freestanding hobs come in various sizes, typically ranging from 50 cm to 60 cm in width. Consider how much cooking surface you need based on your cooking habits and the number of people you usually cook for. A larger hob might offer more room for multiple pots and pans but will require more kitchen space.
Freestanding hobs are available in different fuel types, such as gas, electric, and induction. Gas hobs provide instant heat control and are popular among chefs. Electric hobs are easy to clean and often come with smooth surfaces. Induction hobs offer fast heating and energy efficiency but require compatible cookware. Think about your cooking style and preferences when selecting the right fuel type for you.
Safety is crucial when choosing a freestanding hob, especially if you have young children or pets. Look for models with features like flame failure devices, which automatically cut off the gas supply if the flame goes out, or residual heat indicators on electric and induction hobs to prevent burns. These safety features can help provide peace of mind while cooking.
