How Do I Pick a Good Gas Hob?

To decide on the purchase of the necessary equipment, first of all, you need to assess the capabilities of your kitchen in terms of dimensions, and based on the free space, choose a built-in or free-standing surface with an N-number of burners. The last question already depends not only on the size but also on the number of people living in the family. For 1-2 people, you can get by with 2 burners, provided that one of them supports the "Turbo" mode. For 3-4 people, 3 to 4 cooking zones are optimal. In addition, if you do not know how to choose a gas hob, you need to pay attention to such paras as:

1. Worksurface materials - the base of modern models is made of enamel, stainless steel, and glass-ceramics. The first option provides for financial savings, but a short service life of the equipment. Stainless steel models are not afraid of cracks and chips, but they quickly get dirty. The most expensive surfaces are made of glass-ceramics, which attracts with increased thermal conductivity and aesthetic design.
2. Burner power - almost all modern hobs have 2 to 4 burners, one of which supports the "Turbo" mode. In other words, the most powerful burner has 2 or 3 rows of rings and offers increased performance for quick preparation of complex dishes. In addition to the Wok-burner, the power of which can exceed 3 kW, there are weak burners of 1, 1.5 kW and average power of 1.5 to 2 kW. The higher the rated power, the faster you can cook - everything is simple;
3. Control - the vast majority of hobs provide for mechanical control, which is due to the adequate price and ease of use. If style matters to you, you will have to overpay for touch controls. As practice shows, this does not entail any advantage. Most often, mechanics also implies electric ignition, which can be activated by each of the rotary switches, by lightly pressing down the moving element;
4. Useful functions - it is desirable that the selected gas burner be equipped with a gas control function, automatic ignition. A less popular, but also the interesting option is automatic shutdown.
5. Burner grilles are made of steel (covered with enamel) and cast iron. The former are distinguished by their weightless weight and low cost, but less practical than cast-iron grates, on which large pots can be placed without worrying about the safety of the enamel.
