You'll need cookware that is either the exact same dimensions as the element or that is able to fit in each heating zone on the hob.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas are a great choice for modern, sleek design. They are more expensive than electric models and could require professional installation. However, they heat up faster and a full pot of water can often boil in less than 4 minutes. This type of hob is also a great option for cooks who like to limit the amount of heat being generated.
