Mixed Fuel Hobs

When selecting a mixed fuel hob, you’re opting for a versatile cooking appliance that combines both gas and electric elements in one unit. This type of hob provides the flexibility to use gas for precise, immediate heat and electric elements for consistent, controlled cooking, offering a range of cooking options to suit various culinary needs.

Start by considering the size and configuration that fits your kitchen layout and cooking requirements. Mixed fuel hobs typically come in sizes such as 60 cm or 90 cm in width and feature a combination of gas burners and electric zones. Ensure the hob fits well with your kitchen design and meets your cooking preferences.

Energy efficiency is an important factor to consider. Gas burners generally have lower running costs compared to electric elements, but choosing a model with efficient gas and electric components can help optimize overall energy use. Look for features like power management and energy-efficient burners to help reduce utility costs.

Additional features to enhance your cooking experience include dual controls that allow precise adjustments for both gas and electric elements. Integrated timers and child safety locks offer convenience and safety, while automatic ignition systems simplify the process of starting the gas burners. Some models may also include wok burners or high-powered electric zones for versatile cooking options.
