Features on Modern Hobs
Gas
Burners
Automatic ignition, simply by turning the gas knob. Auto-reignition if
the flame is blown out. Burners are precisely calibrated to maintain performance
over a wide range from low simmer to fast boil - with quick responses.
Halogen
Fast response, like gas, but much easier to clean. Highly visible when
on, which is much safer than traditional electric plates.
Cast
Iron Plates
A traditional electric hob which still offer efficiency and heat up much
more quickly than older models.
Radiant
Hobs
Fast response times and easy to clean ceramic surface.
There are
numerous ways to cook in your kitchen, from the traditional range, to
modern combination systems with heat, microwave and steam cooking.

The choice of gas or electric is often down to a personal preference but, of course, may be governed by availability of power. Ovens are now computer designed to maximise heat consistency, visibility, styling and ease of cleaning. Planet Kitchens can fit gas and electric hobs, ovens, grills, microwaves and cooker hoods in numerous styles and colours. |
