The hostess even claims that the dishes cooked on gas do not deteriorate longer than if they are cooked on an electric stove. If there is a gas supply in your house, the question of how to choose the built-in gas stove can be relevant for you.
The intensity of gas heating varies, in contrast to electric burners, instantly. It is very convenient for controlling the cooking process. Gas burners do not require special utensils, evenly warming even the uneven bottom of the pan or frying pan used for more than a decade. And cooking on gas is much cheaper than on electric stoves.
There are flaws in gas stoves - the main one is that gas panels and ovens are more difficult to keep clean. Open fire can sometimes melt the plastic parts of the cookware used in cooking. It also requires special control of the safety of gas stoves - both for the user and for the environment. But there are more conveniences when using a modern gas stove.
For a long time it's time to forget about the need to keep matches near the plate, as well as about pots and pans smoked by them under multiple attempts to light a burner. In all gas cookers offered by the manufacturers, the burners are equipped with a comfortable function of electric ignition of two types: conventional and automatic. Usual requires, together with the rotation of the knob, to press the ignition button, with the automatic it is enough just to turn the knob. These functions imply the connection of the gas surface to the mains, but the power consumption is not essential.
On the surface of gas cooktops of the highest price category, now, as for electric stoves, there are electronic light indicators for gas supply to the burner, and there are indicators of the intensity of the flame. This ensures a more precise adjustment of the heating - no need to look under the pan and look at the flame under it.
Gas controlled by automatics is a function implemented in the development of Seppelfricke. The minimum power of gas burners is usually around 340 W, and with the electronic control panel you can set the power, starting at 50 W, very accurately and with a small step. Now you can cook on gas even the most delicate dishes and sauces that do not tolerate overheating.
By the way in Seppelfricke plates, the system of automatic switching of the burners to the set normal mode with the maximum power is also working - it is an analog of the "boiling control", realized earlier in the electric stove.
Along with the usual burners on the built-in gas surfaces, rapid-burners of increased power for especially fast cooking are used.
The increase in power is achieved by the multi-level design of the burner - it can have two rings, three and even four flame rings - the power of the four-level burner can be increased to 7 kW.
Such burners warm the bottom of the dishes evenly, the food on them does not burn, the water boils very quickly.
Reflecting on how to choose the built-in gas stove, we will pay attention to the material of the hob. We will choose from: stainless steel, enamel surface, glass ceramics (or glass) and aluminum alloy with special treatment.
Surfaces in stainless steel, polished or matte, are invariably popular. They are easier to wash than enameled, but to maintain their shine is not always easy, because such surfaces "keep" the stains from your fingers. Care for "stainless steel" requires special cleaning products.
Enamelled plates are also widely known and experienced by time. Inexpensive, durable, they can be painted in any color from a wide range of colors. Out of fashion, only white color comes out as the most marquee. Cleaning the enamel from the runaway runaways, fatty deposits and other contaminants is very laborious, and eventually the scratches appear on the enamel - they will further complicate the care. Enamel is very unstable and to chips.
Glass-ceramic surfaces in gas stoves are no longer a curiosity, they are not bad "settled down" in our homes.
Manufacturers offer a wide range of gas stoves under the general name of "gas on glass". Such a plate with the burners installed on it is covered with a layer of glass ceramics or glass with high strength to shock and heat. This is not only a design solution, but also a step towards increasing practicality.
Glass-ceramic panels keep an attractive appearance for a long time. They are usually made of a non-marking black or brown color resistant to mechanical and thermal effects of CERAN. It elegantly looks black burners made of metal and cast-iron grates for dishes. There are also more expensive white glass-ceramic panels.
The coating of glass ceramics never peels off. Perhaps the only disadvantage of this coating is that the liquid that has got on the surface, which contains sugar, can leave rough spots on the surface for a long time. You can avoid this if you clean the panel immediately after cooking.
The novelty is the most beautiful and practical panel of specially processed alloy, which has its basis aluminum. Such a surface is almost not scratched, does not tarnish over the years, and care requires minimal. The hobs are smooth, they always have rounded shapes, there are no sharp corners and fastenings on the outside.
On all gas surfaces, except for those where for the installation of pots on the burners there are massive caps of a special shape, use conventional grills. The cheapest material of the lattices is a steel rod, usually it is covered with black enamel. With careful care, these bars look good. Alas, this material is not as durable as we would like: the enamel can peel off. Functional, but more expensive than the lattice of cast iron - they do not lose their appearance under the influence of prolonged heating.
For ease of maintenance of gas panels, grilles are made removable and, as a rule, of two separate parts. Sometimes the grating halves can be hinged together.
With this design, the liquid that "ran off" onto the pallet can be immediately wiped off without turning off the stove and cleaning dishes from other burners. Lattices have a size that allows them to be washed even in a dishwasher.
Having defined the material, color and additional properties of the gas hob, you can decide in favor of a specific model from the offered in the retail network.
