Secondly, you can immediately start cooking or frying, while the electric stove takes time for full heat. From here follows another advantage - instant cooling of the burner.
Therefore, manufacturers not only do not remove gas stoves from production, but also constantly modernize them. We hope that this article will help you find out which is better to choose a gas stove in their diversity.
How to choose an embedded gas stove?
Modern gas panels have an attractive design and are distinguished by a variety of surfaces. Today, gas panels are made of enamel, stainless steel, glass and glass ceramics.
Enamelled surfaces are inexpensive and can be made in any color. However, enamel is difficult to clean from traces of fat, and over time, there are scratches and even chips.
Surfaces of stainless steel look stylish, wear-resistant, durable, wash easier than enameled. But they leave fingerprints, and also need special cleaning products for care.
The cooking surface, where the burners are installed, can be covered with heat-resistant glass or a layer of glass ceramics. "Gas on the glass" looks impressive and for a long time retains an attractive appearance. The surface is made of high-strength material, resistant to temperature and mechanical stress. When certain rules are observed, such surfaces are practical, they are not difficult to keep clean. According to operational data, heat-resistant glass is comparable to glass ceramics, but it costs less.
Choice of gas cooker by parameters
Gas stoves are produced with electric and gas cookers. The electric oven is more perfect, but less economical. How to choose a good gas stove and not make a mistake?
Gas ovens are often produced in a typical version - without a fan and with two heating modes. However, many manufacturers have already begun to equip their plates with multifunction ovens, where air is forced to circulate in the chamber. This ensures a uniform and rapid warming up of the dish, and as a result, a crusty crust. In such ovens the gas can not be blown out.
Electric ovens can also be traditional and multifunctional. Multifunctional ovens have a fan that evenly distributes hot air throughout the volume. In such an oven, it is possible to cook a wide variety of dishes by changing the heating and properly observing the temperature regime.
