    an electric one, and requires less energy compared to the latter since very little amount of electricity is needed.

• • Which is better, a gas hob or a gas stove?
    A gas hob is built to fit the kitchen countertop while a gas stove is a free-standing unit.
    A built-in gas hob is better than gas stove as gas hobs are equipped with flame failure device,

    a gas hob also cooks much faster than a gas stove.
