Gas hobs are a very popular choice. They feature burner rings as well as grates that saucepans and pots rest on. They are quick to heat up and allow precise temperature control.

Another disadvantage of a ceramic cooktop is that it takes longer than gas or induction to cool down. This is a problem when you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking zones. Many manufacturers have improved this and offer a range that can cut down the time to cool by up to 30%.

Some induction hobs offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or types of food which is a great way to cut down on time and effort when you're cooking.

Induction hobs are also regarded as to be one of the most energy-efficient cooktops available, since they produce no residual heat and use less electricity than traditional electric hobs.
