You should use a wooden spoon when cooking on a hob instead of metal utensils as the metal utensils get very hot .Wood doesnt get very hot as it is a bad conductor of heat this means it has good properties as a utensil where as metal is a very good conductor of heat and gets hot very quickly . If you leave ametal utensil in a pan by accident remove it wearing oven gloves as it could be very hot !!
because metal utensils can scratch the pans
It is a stove (a cooktop).

Range cookers should include a gas hob and electric ovens. They also include flame safety devices that ensure the safe cooking and they stop the flow of gas in a gas hob when the flame is blown out.
To distribute heat through the food evenly.
In cooking the heat from the hob transfers to the pan therefor cooking the food
The heat energy is transferred from the hob to the metal spoon through conduction; this is where particles that vibrate a lot due to their heat energy then 'pass on' these vibrations to the next adjacent particle which does the same and so on. Metals are a good conductor of heat so that is why the metal spoon gets hot, however, wood is not a good conductor of heat and so the wooden saucepan handle doesn't get hot.
Gas Hobs can use either Natural Gas or Propane - depending on the model.
A hob typically refers to a type of cooking appliance, often seen in kitchens, which consists of a flat surface with burners or heating elements used for cooking food. It can be gas, electric, or induction-based and is usually integrated into a countertop. A hob may have a sleek, modern design with controls located on the front or side for ease of use. In a broader context, "hob" can also refer to a mythical creature in folklore, often depicted as a small, goblin-like being.
When gas is ignited in a ring on a hob, the chemical energy in the gas molecules is converted into heat and light energy. The heat energy produced heats up the hob and the surrounding cookware, while the light energy is produced as a visible flame. This process allows for cooking and heating to take place on the hob.
A Neff gas hob is used for cooking food similar to a stove top burner. Neff products also include ceramic hobs, induction hobs, and domino hobs as alternatives.
A short lead hob refers to a type of cooking surface with gas burners that have a shorter distance between the cookware and the flame. This design allows for quicker heating and more precise temperature control while cooking. Short lead hobs are popular in professional kitchens for their efficiency and performance.
