THE ENERGYEFFICIENT DESIGN

Compared to induction cooking, gas is usually quite inefficient as heat escapes up the sides of pans. Fortunately for gas fans, Hotpoint has invented the Direct Flame gas burner to solve this problem – heat is forced through 420 tiny holes across the base of each ring, saving up to 20% in energy and cooking time.
