Basic differences between a gas stove and a hob
Traditional gas stoves have a freestanding body type while modern hobs have a built-in design. Traditional gas stoves are limited to basic functions such as on and off. On the other hand, modern hobs come with an array of features that make cooking easy.
The hob refers to the burners on the top only, the stove refers to either the oven and the burners on top or just the oven.
Traditional cook-tops usually have 2 burners, while hobs usually have more than 2 burners. Commonly used hob sizes are 60 cm (2 feet) wide and 75 cm (2.5 feet) wide, even though larger sized ones of 90 cm and 120 cm are also available. Pay attention to the hob size versus the number of burners.
