Benefit of the side gas hob?

Jan Bauer
2 years ago
I recently learning about induction cooktops and I'm super excited to try it. I have always had electric stovetop, first coil top then ceramic. I don't like how the ceramic stays hot a long time and bakes on any spills. I also like the idea of gas, re temperature control ( hot or simmer), but I'm aware they are challenging to clean as well. I'm considering having this set up in a kitchen I'm planning. Other than being able to use the gas stove hob in a power failure, what is the other benefit(s) of adding a side gas hob to an induction cooktop? Please and thank you!

    In this case, the gas hob is a super-high (38,500) BTU wok burner, which is the only scenario in which I'd recommend gas. I have had clients who were reluctant to jump into induction and would request a two-burner gas hob next to the induction cooktop, but they rarely end up using the gas hob. Induction is so efficient, gives the warmest simmer and the hottest sear, and is easy to clean. Nobody ever goes back.
