1. What should I look for when buying a gas hob? In addition to the number of burners and the material they are made of, there are several features that you should consider when buying a gas hob top. Check whether the gas hop top you are planning to buy has an auto-ignition feature or not. With this feature, you don’t have to bother looking for a lighter or match stick every time you want to light the burners. Also, the gas hob top should have sturdy pan supports that can hold large and heavy utensils (typically used for Indian cooking).
2. What size hob should I purchase? As built-in hobs are fixed after cutting the kitchen slab, you must first check how much space can you dedicate to the gas hob top. Kutchina built-in hobs are available in 60 cm 75 cm and 90 cm sizes.

When it comes to choosing the number of burners, it totally depends on the frequency of cooking and the number of family members you would be cooking for. A 3 burner hob top is the ideal choice if you have 4 to 5 family members whereas a 4 burner is recommended for families with more than 5 members. Also, keep in mind the number of meals prepared at one go.
