Know about Modern Gas Hobs

As the science of preparing food has evolved through the ages, our cooking skills have transformed too! This is a major reason why traditional cooktops no longer serve our need of experimenting with varied cooking styles. To sustain all our requirements in the kitchen in terms of efficient cooking, safety, and even design, one needs a modern gas hob At Hafele Appliances, we’ve penned the basic characteristics of a modern gas hob to help you know more about this magical appliance! So, read ahead and you’ll learn why gas hobs are the preferred choice for many people to have in their kitchens today. 

1. Built-in Design

A traditional gas stove or cooktop is freestanding, which makes the appliance protrude in your kitchen. Whereas modern gas hobs come in a sleek, built-in design and sit level with your kitchen platform. Such a design also makes it super easy to handle and load heavy utensils such as a Kadhai or a Biryani handi.

Moreover, the design also serves to give a seamless, minimalist look to your kitchen. More so with Hafele Vortex gas hobs, as these come in a toughened glass finish making for a sturdy design as well as a beautiful aesthetic. Sleek and powerful brass burners, flame failure safety device, efficient output that saves almost 12% of the fuel, Precision cooking with bullet jets injection technology, luxurious gunmetal finish knobs with grooved edges, and the matt bevelling on the glass top give a defined look to the Vortex gas hobs.

2. Tons of Features

A regular gas stove only comes with basic functions and low output flames. On the other hand, gas hobs come with a host of amazing features that simplify cooking in the kitchen. However, it is best to get one from a reputed brand to access premium functionalities that make cooking a pleasant and fun experience for you in the kitchen. At Hafele, we are known for providing the best gas hobs in India, with the Vortex range being the most popular choice. Here are a few of its winning features -

• Vortex Flame - This is a vertical flame, which eliminates heat loss from the sides of the burner when utensils are placed on top, thus reducing fuel consumption! 
• Flame Drape Effect - The Vortex flame is equipped with a drape effect. The flame rises vertically and then drapes itself around any type of cooking utensil. This ensures that there is even flame distribution, giving you a better-cooked delicious dish. This works especially well for cooking chapatis! 
• Cast Iron Pan Supports - These are heavy-duty pan supports, which can easily accommodate large cooking pots and pans! They provide a stable base, so no disturbance that can be caused during stirring or sauteing. 

3. Better Heat Control

A regular gas stove gives a normal flame and a limited range of heat. However, gas hobs usually come with multi-flame burners that offer better heat control. For example, Hafele Vortex Series Hobs come with a dual-flame burner, where you can independently regulate the inner and outer flame. Such innovative flame modulation gives you more precision of temperature during cooking, allowing you to prepare that dum biryani to lip-smacking perfection! 

4. High Level of Safety

Gas hobs come with better levels of safety than traditional cooktops. Our Vortex Series Hobs too, come with a Flame Failure Safety Device (FFSD). When the flame accidentally goes off, FFSD gets activated immediately and automatically cuts off the gas supply to the burners. This prevents instances of fire accidents due to gas leakage. 

Moreover, we also look after the minute details to help you use the hob efficiently and safely every day. This is visible in the protective heat barriers that come with our cast iron supports! This feature ensures that there is no unwanted heating in the surfaces around the pan supports.
