In a kitchen the hob is a projection, shelf, grate or bench for holding food or utensils at the back or side of a hearth (fireplace) to keep them warm, or an internal chimney-corner. In modern British English usage, the word refers to a cooktop or hotplate, as distinguished from an oven.[1]

Etymology

The word is a noun meaning approximately "holder", derived from the Old English verb habban "to have, hold".[2] The word hub "support of a disk or wheel" is apparently from the same source.[3]
