If you leave your native penates from time to time and rush to your "six hundred square meters", then for sure you are aware that a few days without a table top in the country is not life. It can also become an indispensable thing in a student hostel, an office where there is no gas, a small apartment or on vacation. But how to choose among market diversity?
Table electric tiles and their types
In general, the tabletop electric cooker is a portable device in which there is a heating element working from the electrical network, serving for cooking. Modern models have a number of advantages:
- small size and mobility;
- ease of use;
- economy.
A table electric hot plate is produced in several varieties, differing in the type of heating element, the number of burners and functionality. If we talk about the types of heating element, then they are:
- disk;
- induction;
- spiral.
Electric plates with cast-iron discs are longevity and cheap, but they are heated for a rather long time. The same advantages are possessed by spiral products, in which the burner is a coiled TEN. The induction tabletop electric stove, created from glass ceramics, heats up in seconds, but is expensive and requires special treatment.
There are tabletop electric stoves for cottages and the number of burners: one, two or three. And often models are produced in which two or three burners have different diameters, which in some cases allows saving energy.
By the way, some models besides heating elements also have a small oven, where you can fry a chicken, sip a pie or favorite gingerbread.

Of course, their design has changed little since the Soviet era, but, as they say, "cheap and angry".
When choosing the device, it is recommended to determine the number of burners. An electric stove is a desktop one-burner - an excellent option for a student or those who choose to dacha in a small part, that is, 1-2 people. But if you know that you are waiting for cooking for 3 or more people, we recommend you still purchase models with two burners. In the case when the domestic harvesting of the crop is inevitable, one can also think about the three-confectionary
If the owner uses the electric stove, confident in her baking skills, then the best option for her will be a tabletop with an oven . Especially in this capacity for a small apartment suited economical and reliable desktop induction electric stove two-burner. Yes, and a young student living in a dormitory, you should develop culinary skills. But as a temporary option, you can buy cast iron or spiral tiles.
