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.〔(The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000. )〕 Image:BurgBoetzelaer06.jpg | A fireplace in a German castle showing a brick hob.

Cobham Brewer 1810–1897. Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. 1898. )〕 The word ''hub'' "support of a disk or wheel" is apparently from the same source.〔(Merriam Webster Online )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hob (hearth)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
