How to choose and what to look for?
Developed a huge number of stoves with two burners.
When choosing a device, it is worthwhile to decide what functions are needed and what are not. It is worth considering the frequency of cooking and other factors.
Criteria for choosing a two-burner stove:
- Type of burners. They come in cast iron, induction, halogen and Hi Light. Each type has its own pros and cons. Cast-iron can withstand temperature extremes and last a long time, but are rather slow to heat up. Induction heats by electromagnetic field at the bottom of the dishes and is not fastidious in care. Halogen and Hi Light pots heat up in a couple of seconds.
- Dimensions. Dimensions depend not only on the number of burners. Stoves can be of different lengths or widths. They are equipped with two small or two large burners. The average size is 27x50 cm.
- Power. This parameter depends on the type of burners. The most powerful are halogen and Hi Light, so they heat up quickly.
- Worktop material. The coating can be enameled and glass ceramic. The first option is characterized by resistance to corrosion and damage. Glass ceramic looks solid, but requires careful maintenance.
- Controls. Units can be equipped with rotary switches, buttons and a touch screen. Modern induction stoves are equipped with the latter type of control. There can also be combined controls, where touch buttons are combined with regular or rotary switches.
- Additional functions. These are options that do not affect the quality of cooking. It is worth evaluating the need for a particular function based on personal preference. Stoves are equipped with timers, auto shut-off, pause button, residual heat indication and other options. The more additions, the more expensive the unit is.
