Fresh Fire Gas Hob, 55 cm, 4 Burners, Stainless Steel

This is the plain, honest Fresh hob: four gas burners — one rapid, two semi-rapid and a small auxiliary for tea and milk — on a 55 x 55 cm stainless plate that simply stands on the worktop. Nothing is cut, nothing is clamped and no electrician is needed. It runs on gas alone, with no plug, cable or batteries, so it cooks straight through a blackout, and self-ignition from the knobs means no matches. The enamelled grates, caps and flame spreaders all lift off for washing. Be clear about the safety: code 500008935 has no thermocouple flame-failure cut-off, so watch the flame on a low setting — Fresh keeps that for its built-in HAFR range. Fresh publishes no kW ratings, weight or exact height for this code either. What you get instead is a compact, portable hob made in Egypt, with cheap spares in every Fresh centre, hotline 19059 and a one-year warranty. For a rented flat, a chalet or a small kitchen it is the sensible buy.
