How Do I Choose a Hob

Make sure the tempered glass is scratch-resistant, temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Safety: When you buy a hob, make sure it has a flame failure device and a built-in timer. The flame failure device cuts the gas supply if the flame goes out in case it’s blown out by the wind or fan.
