Buying a gas hob for your kitchen is a big decision. Not only are you looking for finishes and design, but functionality is also important.

Today, there are many sizes and styles to choose from. But choosing the right one can seem like a daunting task. Because you have to look for the space, a number of burners, finish durability, and many other factors that suit your needs. Another big decision may be to choose a trustworthy brand from the many brands on the market.

The following checklist will help you choose the right gas hob:

Determine the size of the gas hob:

The first step you need to remember is to determine the size of the gas hob you need to buy. There are several models with 2, 3, and 4-burner cooktops. So first you need to measure the kitchen board on which the gas hob is placed, and then decide the size of the gas hob based on the available space.

Choose materials, finishes, and colors:

Next is a choice of materials such as full stainless steel, frame SS and top tempered glass, or frame black and top glass. 

Check the type of burner:

With the advancement of technology, various types of gas hob burners have also begun to appear. There are three options: pressure die-cast alloy burners, brass burners, and forged brass burners.

Look for the auto-ignition type:

To avoid the hassle of using a lighter or matchstick, you can use an automatic ignition hob model. The choices here are multi-spark battery-powered auto-ignition or single-spark mechanical piezo ignition auto-ignition. More sparks are better because there are so many sparks that you can hold the knob until the flame doesn't appear on the burner.

ISI logo:

If you are hooking up a new LPG gas, LPG dealers will stick to BIS-approved gas hobs, so in this case, you must be careful to choose a BIS-approved model with the ISI logo on the product. Please note that self-ignition cooktops and cooktops with alloy burners are not BIS-certified.

Knob:

Different gas hobs have knobs of different materials for easy operation. Make sure they are made of high-quality materials for better use and longer life.

Drip tray and pan stand/tripod:

Look for gas hobs that have a drip tray around the burner. This ensures that spilled food is easily cleaned up. Likewise, cooktops must have sturdy pan supports to accommodate heavy utensils.

The above briefly introduces some precautions when choosing a gas hob. If you want to buy or customize a gas hob, please contact us.
