Induction vs gas hob – which style of hob should you buy? Experts explain

Kitchen with silver ranger and blue casserole dish

If you are busy researching how to design a kitchen, there’s a high chance you’ll be considering your appliance needs. Or perhaps your existing hob simply is no longer delivering satisfying results and it is high time for an upgrade. Either way, one of the first decisions to lock down before buying a new hob is whether it should be powered by induction or gas. (Forget ceramic hobs and those with electric hot plates, unless you actively enjoy watching pots boil!)

It is true that both induction and gas hobs will cook your food, fast. There’s plenty of choice, too, so you won’t struggle to find a hob, in either style, to suit your budget, available space or design style. The latest gas and induction hobs are also fully-loaded with features, and include plenty of time and effort-saving tech designed to make cooking a breeze.
