The Kaiser Empire Gas Hob is engineered for efficiency and convenience in a busy kitchen. The Triple Turbo burner is your go-to for high-heat cooking tasks such as stir-frying, searing meats, or bringing large pots of water to a rapid boil. When paired with the cast iron wok adapter, it provides stable support and optimal heat distribution for authentic Asian cuisine. The two standard burners are ideal for everyday cooking, handling tasks like sautéing vegetables, frying eggs, or heating sauces with consistent heat. For more delicate operations, the economy burner delivers a lower, steady flame perfect for simmering, melting butter, or keeping dishes warm.
Operating the hob is straightforward thanks to the automatic pilotless ignition: simply press and turn the front-mounted bronze control knobs for an immediate flame. This positioning of controls enhances safety by keeping your hands away from hot surfaces and open flames. The robust cast iron supports ensure stability for various cookware sizes and are designed for durability, standing up to daily use. Whether you're preparing a quick weekday meal or an elaborate weekend feast, this hob provides the power and control needed for perfect results.

Kitchen Style: Best suited for traditional, farmhouse, or classic kitchen interiors where its black enamelled finish and bronze accents will complement the aesthetic.
Gas Connection: Requires a suitable gas supply line at the installation point.
Cookware: Compatible with all types of cookware suitable for gas hobs, including stainless steel, cast iron, copper, and ceramic.
Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the hob to cool completely. Wipe down the enamelled surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove spills and food splatters. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers that could damage the enamel.
Cast Iron Supports: The removable cast iron pan supports can be cleaned by hand with warm soapy water or placed in a dishwasher for convenience. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on the hob.
Burner Caps and Crowns: Periodically remove and clean the burner caps and crowns. Check for any blocked holes or debris that might affect flame quality. Ensure they are dry and correctly positioned before use.
Control Knobs: Wipe the bronze control knobs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Spill Management: Address spills immediately once the hob has cooled to prevent them from baking on and becoming harder to remove.
