Modern household appliances are pleased with a wide variety and functionality. Recently, electric hobs have become popular. Reviews about them are mostly positive, because with the help of these devices you can create a real cozy corner in the house.

What it is

The hob is the top of the cooker. They are gas and electric. Gas devices are made of metal or glass ceramics, in some models the burners are removed under glass-ceramics. Familiar and popular models are electric, which are performed by analogy with traditional plates. Electric hobs (reviews about them are found very recently) can be dependent and independent. The first is usually additionally completed with an oven, at the same time they are controlled through a single system cabinet. The cooking surface in such models does not have control mechanisms. Independent panels are equipped with a control system - it is part of the hob.

Types of heaters

If the cooking surface is gas, then the source of its heating is gas. It is distributed at the bottom of the dishes through the burners, which are different - in one row or in two rows. In electric models, heating elements are performed with accelerated heating, and look like cast-iron pancakes. Cooking panels electric (glass-ceramic) reviews received positive, because they are equipped with heaters such as HiLight. They are characterized by rapid warming up and rapid cooking, while cooling these thin "pancakes" is much faster. Some glass ceramic models have halogen heaters - on such surfaces, the cookware quickly heats up, then the heating stops abruptly. Such devices have not become popular due to the short life of the halogen lamp.

Diameter and shape of heating zones

In many reviews it is mentioned that hobs are convenient devices that allow you to cook with maximum comfort. But to achieve such indicators, you need to consider a couple of points.
