The cooking plate occupies, perhaps, the central place in any modern kitchen. And since it will have to be prepared on it regularly over the next few years, the issue of choosing a stove must be approached with due attention. Plates are gas, electric and combined. It is cheaper to cook on a gas, but in the absence of trunk gas it makes sense to take a closer look at the electrical plate. The combined plate may be useful in case of gas disconnect. But this rule acts only when there are enough gas burners for daily cooking. The plates have the following standard sizes: 50 by 50, 50 by 60 and 60 by 60 cm. This allows you to choose a plate suitable for any meter of the kitchen. However, a small slab is not as convenient in operation as large, since there is little space on it and fit a few overall pots on it can be difficult. Well, of course, the volume of the oven will suffer. An important point is how the temperature adjustment in the oven is organized. It is extremely inconvenient to use a mechanical sensor, since he retreats to a change in temperature in the oven delay. It is much more convenient when the plate is not equipped with a sensor, and the adjustment handle has a graduation, according to which you can set the desired temperature. This makes the cooking process more simple and pleasant. Useful functions are auto -adjacent and oven the oven. Automatic light allows you to light a burner without matches. With the backlight of the oven, you can control the cooking process without opening the door and not releasing hot air from there. These function of the function with multiple daily use take a very significant importance. GAZ control is very useful, which prevents gas leakage in the case of a sudden shutdown of the energy carrier. However, you need to make sure that in the model you have chosen this function is realized normally. Some models have a very “tight” gas control, which interferes with the ignition of the oven and requires the user to hold the temperature adjustment handle in the oven, clamped for several minutes. Someone can also come in handy, but I do not see it in it. In conclusion, I want to add that the manufacturer and his experience of creating kitchen slabs also play an important role. It is better to limit your choice to models from eminent world manufacturers in order to protect yourself from problems and disappointment in the future.
