Types of hobs
There are models with both 4 and 2 burners. For standard configuration models, one burner has a high power, the second has a low power, the other two have an average burning intensity.
Choose devices with multi-level burners - they allow you to create several rings of flame, which will not only save gas, but also give you the opportunity to cook food faster.
Dimensions - most often standard. The width is about 58-62 centimeters, rarely up to 100 centimeters, the embedding distance is about 3-7 centimeters. The inconvenience lies in the fact that it is not always possible to place an oven under the hob, and this upsets consumers.
The following materials are used for manufacturing:
- Aluminum. The material is not afraid of damage and high temperatures, is affordable for all buyers.However, if the hostess uses abrasive products with large particles or hard brushes and washcloths to clean it, the surface will quickly deteriorate: it will be covered with small cracks and chips. Therefore, it is recommended to buy only soft sponges and creamy special gels for washing.
- Stainless steel. It can be matte or polished: both look attractive and stylish. This is a durable and extremely durable material that is easy to clean (however, it requires the regular use of special soft products, otherwise hand marks and stains will remain on the surface). There are practically no traces on matte products, but such hobs are noticeably more expensive.
- glass ceramics. Glass-ceramic products are currently at the peak of popularity, which is why their price tag is too high. The material is used to create devices that operate on both electricity and gas. Glass ceramic hobs are easy to care for: just wipe the surface with a soft sponge or a piece of flannel with a suitable cleaning agent. It is also allowed to use a special brush made of metal. The described models look stylish, fashionable and easily fit into any interior, whether classic or modern design.
