FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What is the difference between a gas stove and a hob?

Stoves come in two formats:
(1) standard desk stove and
(2) modern, hobtop.
Standard gas stoves are the usual design and they sit on the Kitchen slab using small stands under the frame.
Hoptops can be in-built into your kitchen slab or placed on top of the slab. This just helps with the aesthetics of the whole setup and is particularly handy if you’ve designed your kitchen to have a certain look and feel. The dials and controls on hobtops are also mounted differently and they tend to be a little larger too.

2. Does distance between the burners matter?

Short answer is yes, distance between burners matter. Almost all stove has either 2 or more than two burners. An important point to understand here is, it doesn’t necessarily mean more burners a gas stove has, all can be used at a time. If the space between them is not much, you cannot place two pots or pan at a time on the adjacent burner. Hence, make sure if you won’t have a stove, where you can use all burners, consider the stove with ample space between the two burners.
