Perfect hob: guide to choosing between gas, electric and induction for your kitchen

Cooking is an art that requires passion and dedication. Modern technology has simplified many daily tasks, but cooking still requires a certain degree of attention and knowledge. In particular, the choice of hob is essential to obtain the desired result.

There are three main hob types to choose from: gas, electric and induction. In this how-to article, we’ll explore the differences between these three types of hobs and provide useful tips to help you choose the one that’s right for you.

Gas hob

The gas hob has long been the undisputed king of home kitchens. Its ability to precisely control the flame makes it an ideal choice for professional cooks and experienced homemakers alike. An open flame is also the best way to get the perfect crust on a steak or to toast peppers.

However, gas hobs require maintenance and attention. Stove cleaning is important to prevent food residue from burning, and setting the flame perfectly can be difficult for beginners.

Electric hob

Thanks to their flat and smooth surface, electric hobs are easy to clean and handle. Also, electric hobs are generally cheaper than gas and induction hobs.

However, they are not very popular and there are few models available on the market. Also, only the newer and more expensive electric hobs take less time to reach the desired temperature and allow for more precise temperature control.

Electric hobs require the use of special pans.

Induction hob

The induction hob is the most innovative and modern choice for your kitchen. Its advanced technology allows the pan to be heated quickly without heating up the hob surface, making it safe and energy efficient.

Furthermore, the temperature control is highly precise and the hob cools down quickly when switched off, making it ideal for busy kitchens or where children are present.

However, induction cooktops may require special induction-compatible cookware and are generally more expensive than gas and electric cooktops.

Tips for choosing the right hob

Choosing the right hob depends on your specific needs. However, there are a few factors to consider when choosing the perfect hob for your kitchen. Here are some useful tips:

Consider your cooking style: if you are an avid cook who likes to control the flame, the gas hob may be the best choice for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a cheaper and easier to use option, an electric hob could be ideal.
Evaluate energy efficiency: if you’re concerned about energy usage, an induction cooktop may be your best choice. Thanks to its advanced technology, it heats the pot directly, avoiding heat dispersion and making it very energy efficient.
Consider your budget: the cost of cooktops varies widely, so it’s important to consider your budget when making your choice. Gas cooktops are generally more expensive than electric cooktops, but less expensive than induction cooktops.
Evaluate the space available: if you have a small kitchen, an induction hob may be the best choice. Thanks to its advanced technology, it cools down quickly when turned off, making it ideal for small, busy kitchens.

Conclusion

Choosing the right hob for your kitchen can seem like a difficult decision, but by assessing your specific needs and considering the factors mentioned above, you can make an informed choice. Whether you prefer the flame control of a gas hob or the energy efficiency of an induction hob, you’re sure to find the ideal solution for your kitchen.

Now you can buy your new hob. If you need more information, ask our team for advice. We are always happy to help!

Floating Kitchen: between lightness and design

The kitchen is where your day begins.

Where you meet your family and talk about each other. It’s the place where you host friends for dinner; sometimes it’s where anniversaries are celebrated.

A contemporary way to furnish it is the floating kitchen.

A floating kitchen is highly advisable if you wish to create a light and coordinated setting in your open space.

If you want to install a floating kitchen, you should consider the services running through the walls and the solidity of the weight-bearing wall, since you’ll need L-shaped steel support profiles. On the other hand, if you aren’t working on a bearing wall, some kitchen models will require extra feet, as additional weight support.

A kitchen can be wholly or just partially floating, ‘cause it’s possible to mix suspended base and columns: that means that all or just some bases do not touch the floor, guaranteeing maximum customization.

In any way, take note that designing your floating kitchen will be much easier during a renovation.

A floating kitchen is not for everyone yet. So let’s go and see the main pros and cons of this choice.

Among the disadvantages is a small storage space, so if you are looking for practicality and capacity, we suggest a traditional kitchen.

The floating kitchen is for you, if you don’t require too much storage and love innovative design.

As for the cons, we must also say that a floating kitchen is more difficult to assemble, so rely on professionals in the industry for this service.

The appliances will have to be suspended and everything must be designed in detail. The fixing must be very careful and functional, having to support different weights.

Last but not least, the choice of dishwashers for floating kitchens is at the moment limited to few models.

*Bosch: Series 6 compact built-in dishwasher*

But a great advantage in choosing a floating kitchen is that it’s very easy to clean, as the bases do not touch the floor. Another pro is that any underfloor heating will be exploited to its full potential.

In summary, the main feature of floating kitchens is the sense of lightness.

So, if you are tired of the classic floor-standing kitchens and want to stand out, this could easily be the right choice for you.

Special tips

Beautiful to live in and to show off, we suggest installing LEDs under the cabinets.

Furthermore, many of our Partners allow for the personalization of their collections. This means that even if a model is not represented as a floating kitchen, it is possible to make it bespoke for you.
