The word hob is an old English phrase that was originally used to mean "a shelf, grate, or fireside'. It's an old-fashioned term that describes how we cooked at home in previous decades, with large fireplaces and separate shelves for pots. Nowadays, kitchens are fitted with an oven as well as a separate stove top (hob) that can be either electric or gas.
