Belling 60cm Gas Hob - Stainless Steel vs — Comparison

The Belling GHU603RISTA 60cm Gas Hob and Belling IHT6013BLK are closely priced 60cm options for buyers choosing between gas and induction within Belling’s hob range. The GHU603RISTA costs £219 and is presented as a stainless steel gas hob, while the IHT6013BLK is listed at £229.00 as a 60cm induction hob with touch controls in black.

The GHU603RISTA gives you a gas cooking layout with H:101mm x W:600mm x D:510mm dimensions, 4 burners, a wok burner, stainless steel construction and a 3 pin UK plug. Its strongest specification point is the wok burner, which gives one zone extra versatility for high-heat frying. The IHT6013BLK listing is less detailed, but its key difference is clear: it is an induction hob with touch controls, so it trades gas burners and stainless steel for a black electric surface and electronic operation.

The GHU603RISTA suits buyers who already have a gas connection, want visible flame control and need a practical burner arrangement for varied pan sizes. It is also useful if wok cooking is part of the weekly routine. The IHT6013BLK suits those moving towards a cleaner-looking electric kitchen, particularly if touch controls and a flush black surface are more important than gas flames. At £229.00, it is only £10 more than the gas model in this listing, so the decision is less about price and more about fuel type, pan compatibility and kitchen style.

Bottom line: "choose GHU603RISTA if you want a stainless steel 60cm gas hob with a wok burner and 4 burners / opt for IHT6013BLK if you want a similarly priced 60cm induction hob with black styling and touch controls."
