Cooking performance and layout
The four-burner arrangement is suited to everyday cooking, from preparing a single pan meal to using several pans at once. The UltraRapid burner is rated at up to 5kW, giving the hob a strong high-heat option for boiling and fast cooking.
The diamond configuration is intended to improve spacing around the burners. This should be helpful when using larger pans, although the practical clearance will still depend on pan size and how several burners are used together.
Controls, support and safety
Rotary dial controls offer direct adjustment of the gas flame without relying on a digital interface. The cast-iron pan supports provide a stable base for cookware and are suited to regular hob use.
Safety valves are designed to cut off the gas supply if a flame is accidentally extinguished. The hob can also be converted for LPG using the supplied kit, but gas installation and any conversion work should be completed in line with the relevant requirements.
Design and suitability
The stainless-steel finish gives the hob a durable, traditional appearance that should suit a range of kitchen styles. Its 60cm format is a familiar size for many fitted kitchens, though the available cut-out and installation requirements should be checked before purchase.
This is best suited to buyers who specifically want gas cooking, useful pan spacing and physical controls. It is not the right choice for kitchens designed exclusively for induction or other electric hob technologies.
Research note: this BestBuysUK assessment is based on the manufacturer's published specifications and other reputable technical sources. Specifications and retailer availability can change, so verify critical details before purchase.
