How to choose a gas hob?

For gasified houses, the best option for choosing a hob is the gas panel. In order to understand how to choose a good gas hob, you need to deal with several aspects.

Before you buy a stove, you need to figure out which gas hob to choose depending on the material of its manufacture. There are several versions of the material for gas cooking surfaces:

• steel with enamel surface;
• stainless steel;
• strained glass;
• glass ceramics.

Of course, the most modern option is a glass-ceramic coating . Such cooking surfaces are attractive, reliable and durable. But they are much more expensive than traditional options.

The selection of the gas hob also includes the determination of the type of its grills. Lattices on which utensils are placed can be made of cast iron or steel. In addition, they can be integral or prefabricated. There is a variant of individual gratings for each burner. The most preferable are cast iron gratings.

Today, modern gas stoves are mostly equipped with automatic or mechanical arson. With automatic arson, you need to press the button, while mechanical - press and turn the switch slightly.

Some models are equipped with automatic repo-jog, touch control or "light arson" option. They simplify the use of the cooker and ensure the safety of its use.

If we talk about the safety of gas cooking surfaces, then the most important function is a system called "gas control". It is a thermoelectric protection against leakage - it simply cuts off the gas supply if the fire has been flooded or blown by a draft.

On the stove, you can set as many hotplates as possible - they can be either 2 or 7. Also, the burners differ in their size, power, shape and purpose. In addition, combined gas-electric cooking hobs are very popular.

The most common today are WOK-burners having a triple flame series. Thanks to this cooking takes less time, and the dishes at the same time warms up extremely evenly.

The most common gas panel size is 600 mm wide and 530 deep. There are also non-standard panels with a width of 300 mm, 450 mm, 720 mm and 900 mm. The choice of sizes depends largely on the available space in your kitchen.

Also you can familiarize yourself with such a novelty as a stove-fireplace with a cooking surface .
