Make sure the tempered glass is scratch-resistant, temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Safety: When you buy a hob, make sure it has a flame failure device and a built-in timer. The flame failure device cuts the gas supply if the flame goes out in case it’s blown out by the wind or fan.

How do I know what size hob I need?

When measuring for a gas hob, the depth and height are usually standard. Focus on measuring the width – it’ll be between 60 and 90cm. Make sure no cupboards will hang over the hob and that there’s at least 65cm between the hob and your cooker hood.
