ah, maybe so. So what is a hob as far as cooking is concerned??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hob_(hearth)
got it!!
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]

Quick google search gave me this definition that fits the cooking reference.
HOB:
....a flat metal shelf at the side or back of a fireplace, having its surface level with the top of the grate and used especially for heating pans. "he laid the empty cup down on the hob by the fire"
