Smeg's hob buying guide will walk you through the different types, sizes and features on offer to help make your choice that little bit easier.
Perhaps the first thing to consider when choosing a hob is what type of fuel type you would like; gas or electric, restrictions dependant of course. There are four types of hob available within the comprehensive Smeg range; Gas, Induction, Ceramic, or Mixed fuel for those who would like the best of both worlds.
Gas cooking is perhaps the most traditional and popular choice, providing an efficient and responsive way of cooking with many advantages including even heat distribution and immediate reaction.
This visible heat source offers complete controllability and intensive heat when you need it.
Induction hobs offer quick heat-up times, user-friendly touch controls and flat easy-to-clean surfaces. Due to the way in which induction technology works (by using a magnetic field to only heat the contents of the pan), there is very little heat loss and it is the safest option available. Induction is also faster than gas cooking taking only a little over a minute to heat a pint of water.
The HOBD induction hobs also offer an integrated hood, a great space-saving solution.
Smeg offers a comprehensive range of hobs with a wide choice colours, sizes and shapes. Layout options include: diamond - optimum spacing for larger pans, inline - easy access to burners and standard - traditional burner layout. Sizes range from huge 100cm width hobs down to petite 31cm width domino hobs. In most households 4 cooking burners or zones are sufficient and in which case a 60cm width model is most suited, however if more cooking areas are a must then hobs with a 75cm + width are worth a look.
Smeg hobs stand out for their impeccable craftsmanship, utilizing premium materials and showcasing an exquisite design in both pan-stands and burners. As the focal point of the kitchen, these hobs boast sophisticated surfaces available in stainless steel, glass, or ceramic glass, adding a distinctive touch to your culinary space.
