This Stainless Steel Hob features thick, Cast-Iron Pan Supports that give the Hob a Heavy Duty, Quality Look and Feel. The Hob is completely unbranded and having a nice, new and shiny hob in your kitchen will immediately add value and raise the profile of your kitchen. Gas Hobs are preferred by Professional Chefs because they give you crucial responsiveness when cooking, for instance when a Pot starts to over boil or when you want to get a Pan searing hot in a flash. They also allow you to toss around ingredients by lifting the pan off the Hob without losing heat which is not possible with Electric Hobs. Naturally you don’t want to be using matches and burning your fingers when cooking on your new hob which is why you get Auto-Ignition with the 49C1CD1BE00D439B942F2608FECF21FB so all you have to do is twist the Rotary Controls and the Burners will Ignite. Each of the 4 burners comes fitted with an FFD / FSD (flame failure device / flame supervision device) - this ensures that if an over boiling pan or a sudden gust of wind were to extinguish a flame, the gas would shut off automatically. Not only is this a legal requirement in certain buildings, its genuinely a life saver.
