It is rather shiny, isn't it? We would have to do a lot to our kitchen to go to to built in appliances like your Mom, but we have the exact size slot for a 60cm cooker to fit in.
Our current one has a ceramic hob - I wouldn't go back to gas or electric rings, it's an old version of one like this one.
