Hobs FAQs

See down below for our most frequently asked questions about hobs.

What is a venting hob, and is it worth choosing over a separate hob and cooker hood?

A venting hob combines the cooking surface and extractor into a single unit. It draws steam and cooking odours downward through the hob itself rather than upward through a separate hood above.

Modern Living stocks venting hobs from ViandPro, including the Aquilon 90cm induction model. This pulls air at between 218 and 483.5 m³/h depending on the fan speed. For open-plan kitchens or spaces where fitting a wall-mounted or ceiling hood isn’t straightforward, a venting hob is a space-saving alternative.
What does a "flexi zone" on an induction hob actually do, and is it useful in practice?

A flexi zone is an extended cooking area that combines two induction zones into one larger, adjustable zone. You don’t need to be restricted to a fixed cooking ring. You can place any oversized cookware across the full length of the zone and have it heat evenly throughout.

It’s a genuinely practical feature for anyone who regularly cooks with larger or irregularly shaped pans. It offers flexibility that standard fixed zones simply can’t match.
How many burners do I actually need, and is a 6-burner hob overkill for a home kitchen?

The number of burners you need depends less on kitchen size and more on how you cook. A 6-burner hob is far from overkill for households that regularly prepare multiple dishes simultaneously.

The Avelis A609BLK 90cm 6-burner hob includes two 4.2kW dual wok burners alongside four standard rings. It’s genuinely suited to ambitious home cooks who want the full range of heat outputs at their disposal. For smaller households or simpler cooking routines, a 4 or 5-burner model offers plenty of flexibility without the wider footprint.
Can gas hobs be converted to run on LPG if I don't have a mains gas supply?

LPG conversion is possible on a number of gas hobs in the Modern Living range. They’re a practical option for homes without a mains gas connection. The Avelis glass gas hob range, for example, comes with an LPG conversion kit included in the box. So, no additional kit needs to be purchased separately.

This is worth knowing upfront if you’re in a rural area or a property where LPG is the primary fuel source. It removes what might otherwise seem like a barrier to choosing a gas hob.
What's the practical difference between cast iron pan supports and enamel pan supports on a gas hob?

The choice between cast iron and enamel pan supports is one of the smaller decisions when buying a gas hob. However, it does affect day-to-day use.

Cast iron supports, as found on the Avelis and Hotpoint gas hob ranges, are heavier and more robust. This provides a more stable base for large, heavy pans and distributes heat more evenly around the base of the cookware.

Enamel supports are lighter and typically easier to clean, but can be more prone to chipping over time with heavy use. For serious everyday cooking, cast iron is generally the more durable long-term choice.
