Bosch Serie 2 PBH6B5B60 Built In Gas Hob - Brushed Steel

As good as I had hoped/expected

Pros: 3-ring hob burner, Ease to use, Good build quality, Looks good, Safe-knobs out of reach of small children, Safety cut-out, Value for money

Cons: None

"Installed, this hob looks as good as I had hoped and it all works as expected. The cast-iron pan-supports prevent any slipping of pans. They're easy to remove/clean and the rubber feet ensure they don't scratch the aluminium base. The burners are very easy to lift off/replace and, once removed, the base is an absolute doddle to clean. I wipe round after almost every use because it's so easy to do. It takes a short while to get used to the ignition because, even though the flame lights instantly, it's then necessary to hold the knob down for 4secs to heat up the flame-detector safety device which will turn the gas off if the flame is lost. It's not a problem once you're used to it but, initially, I found I tended to let go as soon as I saw a flame and of course, the flame went out. The 3-ring wok burner is brilliant! I haven't had one before and it works great with wok cooking and heats up a large pan very quickly. As with the other burners, but probably more so with the wok burner, I found that the 'low' heat position wasn't low enough for a very slow simmer. This hasn't proved a problem because very low settings can be achieved by turning the knob towards 'off' without actually reaching the off setting. There are two standard size burners and a small one, which seems to be the norm and they're absolutely fine. All in all, I'm very happy with this product and would feel comfortable recommending it."

Stylish & solid - great hob

"This a a lovely hob to use. 4 burners in 3 different sizes - including a rapid burner which is also a wok burner. The pan supports are really nice and solid which is great as pans feel secure while in use and don't wobble about which I experienced with previous hob. The control knobs are easy to use - just turn, press down to ignite then set at the required temperature. The stainless steel finish is nice and easy to clean. Very pleased with it. Lovely stylish, solid and well built hob."
