A Gas stove consists of a burner assembly attached to a small gas valve that is connected to your main gas line meaning that the heat supply can be adjusted easily and pans heat up quicker. 
Unlike Induction hobs you can use a pan made from any metal on a Gas hob however, if your pan has a non-stick coating it is best to only cook on low to medium temperatures.

Induction hobs are designed to be more energy efficient by using copper coils beneath the surface to create and electrical current that generates heat when in direct contact with the pan.

Induction hobs will only work with pans made from a ferrous metal such as Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Copper and Cast Iron. The best way to test if your current pans will work on an induction hob is to try holding a fridge magnet to the bottom of the pan, if it sticks together easily then your pan will work on an induction hob.

Electric hobs often comprise of a glass top which mostly glows red when hot. They are renowned for being easy to clean however, they tend to take longer to heat up and hold heat for longer so it is not as easy to control the temperature as it is with a Gas hob. 

Like Gas hobs however, you can use a pan made from any metal.

• Remove all labels, wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before first use.
• The pan should match to the heat source. Never heat up an empty pan.
• Always use an oven glove or mitt as handles may get hot.
• Only use silicone, heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils
• Never allow a gas flame to extend up the sides of the pans; this may cause the sides and handles to overheat.
• Use only medium and low heats for all cooking. Using high heats can spoil the appearance of the pans.
• Do not allow liquids to boil dry.
• Protect surfaces before placing hot pans onto them.
• Do not pour cold water into a hot pan as this can damage it.
• Do not store raw, marinating or cooked foods in the pans.
• PFAS Free. Non-stick coatings that are labelled PFAO Free mean that safer chemicals were used in their production resulting in cookware that is both healthy and easy to use.
