Hob

I burnt my fingers on the hob this morning.

The hob was still hot after quarter of an hour.

When she sewed, he thought, she made a sound like a kettle on the hob; bubbling, murmuring, always busy, her strong little pointed fingers pinching and poking; her needle flashing straight.

The Yiddish word for love, libe, is borrowed from modern German. The inherited Yiddish word, lib, is used to say things like "I love you" ("ikh hob dikh lib").

This hob is 112 centimetres wide.

The kettle is whistling on the hob.

They went into a dingy room lined with books and littered with papers, where there was a blazing fire. A kettle steamed upon the hob, and in the midst of the wreck of papers a table shone, with plenty of wine upon it, and brandy, and rum, and sugar, and lemons.

And the first sound in the house was the bang, bang of the poker against the raker, as Morel smashed the remainder of the coal to make the kettle, which was filled and left on the hob, finally boil.
