Linear hobs are relatively new - but they make sense don't they (as long as you're not short of worktop space) - much easier to keep an eye on your pans.

This hob featured in our kitchen designs news in April 2011 - because of it's touch controls - so much easier to keep clean than knobs but not often seen on a gas hob.

There's also a more standard 5-ring hob in the same style, just 79cm wide and costing £725. Click on the link to find out more about that one.
