In this article, you will learn about the different features of glass and stainless steel gas hob and their advantages and disadvantages.

Toughened Glass Gas Hob

Featured product: FUJIOH Toughened Glass Gas Hob FH-GS6528 SVGL

As the name suggests, the glass gas hob has toughened glass on the top surface, which shouldn’t be compared to ordinary glass. They are made with an additional nucleating agent to create the crystalline structure that reinforces the glass effectively.

Advantages of Toughened Glass Gas Hob

  • Good Look

Glass gas hob has been around for some time but has only gained popularity recently with their sleek design that can make any kitchen look sophisticated. Thus, it is ideal for a modern modular kitchen.

  • Safety

Due to the toughened glass’ heat resistance, a glass gas hob offers an even heat distribution, and has better heating and cooling speed. When you have children around, the sealed compartment acts as a safety layer for heat control. Hence, they are less likely to suffer from burns if they were to touch it accidentally.

Disadvantages of Toughened Glass Gas Hob

  • Require Frequent Cleaning

Although glass top hob is much easier to clean, it is easy to leave fingerprints on the surface. So, you are required to clean it frequently to maintain the good look of the hob.

 

Stainless Steel Gas Hob

Stainless steel top hob is made of stainless steel, making them resistant to the flame’s high temperatures. They are popular in commercial kitchens because they can be used for cooking at higher temperatures without damaging the surface or causing a fire hazard.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Gas Hob

  • Durability

A stainless steel gas hob is generally more durable than glass cooktop as it is less prone to shattering and last longer. Plus, it is more robust, making it less likely to break or crack over time. This is because stainless steel has high thermal qualities and is corrosion-resistant.

  • Good Match for Multiple Kitchen Designs

Stainless steel gas hobs are a classic that can easily match with various kitchen designs and never go out of style. Also, you will be able to mix with multiple metal finishes of kitchen appliances.

Disadvantages of Stainless Steel Gas Hob

  • Difficult to Clean & Maintain

Compared to glass top, stainless steel gas hobs are more difficult to clean and maintain as it can be hard to remove the dirt or liquid spill caused during cooking. Stainless steel cooktops can also be scratched easily, and because of the directional polishing marks on many models, the scratches can show up quite dramatically.
