How to choose an electric stove with glass ceramics?
Glass ceramics has a unique heat conductivity, so that a conventional electric stove with its slowly warming up burners can not be compared. In addition, it cools the surface, too, in a matter of minutes. So the built-in electric cookers with glass ceramics are not only convenient, but also safe.
If we talk about such a factor of choice as the heating rate, we need to take into account the type of heating element. So, relatively new, called rapid, have a warm-up speed of only a few seconds. But for even better results in some plates halogen heaters are used in pairs with rapid heaters. However, the most advanced technology is induction heating, although for such plates it is necessary to use a certain type of dishes.
In addition to the hob, you should also look at the oven. The electric stove from glass-ceramic with an oven is something fantastic. Hostesses will definitely appreciate the presence of several heaters that are able to ensure an even distribution of heat, as well as the ability to choose between several programs for cooking a wide variety of dishes. The most advanced ovens are also equipped with fans, which creates convection currents for the most optimal distribution of heat inside the cabinet.
If you think that you do not need an oven, you can completely do with a compact model of a table-glass ceramic electric stove.

So, from usual means for cleaning stains on a surface can remain. Especially do not use abrasive cleaners. Wipe the plate with soft cloth napkins. No iron sponges! If the surface has caked traces, you can use a special scraper with blades. Usually such a scraper comes with a kit with a stove, but you can buy it separately. Its blades are replaceable, so you can always replace them if necessary.
To begin to clean a plate it is necessary at once, differently maculae threaten to remain on its surface and to spoil its appearance. It should be remembered that glass ceramics does not tolerate some low-melting substances,
Try not to spray cold water on the hot surface. Sharp changes in temperature are not at all useful for glass ceramics. For this reason, it is not recommended to install the cooker next to the sink, and also to place cold pans on the heated surface.
