The drawback of this kind of hob and oven is that it's sensitive to pan size and shape. You'll need cookware that is either exactly the same dimensions as the element or that is able to fit in each of the heating zones on the hob.

This could result in uneven cooking and make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Induction hobs
