Such a device, as an electric cooker for the kitchen, is currently represented in a wide range. It is necessary to know certain rules for choosing this device in order to be guided in today's variety of products.
If you are interested in an electric cooker for the kitchen, you must first determine the dimensions of the space under it, measure the dimensions, and then proceed with the selection. For convenience, the dimensions of these devices fluctuate within 50 * 50 - 90 * 90 centimeters. The width of 60 centimeters at the moment is the most popular option. A small kitchen involves placing a rather narrow model of the device, and for a large one it is necessary to choose a wider version, on which you can use pans and pans of larger diameter. You can adjust the height of the legs of the appliance, so that the electric stove for the kitchen will be at the same level with the working surface.
The hob of the device can be made of materials such as glass ceramics and enamel, which differ in terms of quality and durability. The most standard is a plate with an enamel surface, so it is used much more often. Its advantages are that it is strong enough, inexpensive, and its range of colors is very extensive. Disadvantages of enamel are chipped and scratches, which appear quickly on it, as well as problems with cleaning it.
The electric stove for kitchen with glass-ceramics appeared much later, however it has more advantages. This material can be heated to 600 degrees, it is highly resistant to high temperatures. The main advantage of glass-ceramics is that the burner heats up as quickly as possible, while the surface of the plate remains cold. The electronic scoreboard is designed to enable the hostess to save time on cooking, setting not only the required temperature, but also choosing the cooking period. Glass ceramics allows the plate to serve as long as possible, retaining its original appearance, to be easy to clean and easy to use. The disadvantages of this material can be considered relative fragility: it is necessary to avoid pinpoint strokes, to remove foods containing sugar, as this harms it.
If we talk about how to choose an electric stove for the kitchen, then we need to consider what types of hotplates for it are. Both traditional cast iron and modern glass-ceramic ones can be used here. Depending on the degree of power, cast-iron burners are divided into three categories: medium-sized, express-burners and automatic. Their differences are in the heating time, as well as in the presence of a circle of different colors in the center. The glass ceramic plate can also have different burners, depending on their mechanism and the degree of heating. Here, inductive, Hi-Light, halogen and traditional burners are distinguished.
Also produce electric cookers built-in for the kitchen. The main difference between them and the others is the possibility of installing them in a kitchen set so that they form a single ensemble.
