Hobs can be gas, electric or combined. And also, the panels are divided into types: independent and dependent. If your choice has stopped on a dependent hob, then the oven should also be dependent, because the control of both the cabinet and the hob will be carried out from the cabinet panel. In this case, both the upper and lower parts should be either electrical or gas. If you choose an independent panel, then control handles will be located in front or side, directly on the surface of the hob panel. With this option, it does not matter what an oven, gas or electric. The hock surface is made of steel with an enamel coating, made of stainless steel with a glossy or matte surface, or from glass ceramics of various colors.
