Gas hobs - steel or glass

Posted by: hungryhalibut on 12 May 2016

We are having our kitchen done shortly and will get a double built-under oven with a gas hob above. I was assuming we'd just get a steel hob, but on looking into it I discover that gas on glass is all the rage. We'll almost certainly get Neff, as they are well made and not too pricey. We do quite a lot of pasta sauces that always seem to spit bits of tomato on the hob, and I'm wondering which is the easiest to keep clean. The last thing I want is to spend ten minutes after every meal spraying the hob with fancy cleaners and rubbing it with an e cloth. It will be inset in a black worktop and I'm thinking that steel may give a better contrast visually. Neff also do a glass hob with steel surround.....

Does anyone have any views?

On the ovens - go for the one which has automated cooking programmes, dependent on meat and weight.

Pointless (IMO). They never cook the meat to the same level as you want it (well perhaps the level 1 person in 50 want it). Now a meat thermometer probe is useful (again IMO) so you can tell it to cook to a certain temperature.
