In the past, it was essential for the gas stove to be constantly lit to ensure that the burners remained hot and fueled.

They include a built-in flame safety device that shuts down the burners automatically should the pilot light fail.

Some models even come with a 'boost' feature that concentrates high-powered heat into one ring to stir fry cooking sauteing meat, or boiling large pots of water.

Induction hobs differ from standard electric hobs in that they utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware rather than the conventional method of gas flames.
