Choosing an electric cooker

Mcooker: best recipes About technique

Kitchen stoveWhen choosing electric stoves, it is imperative to take into account the type of burners used. After all, they influence the speed, convenience and quality of food preparation. On the hob, 2-6 heating zones are provided, which are arranged in different ways. On one surface there are burners of different sizes and shapes. This allows you to cook several meals at the same time. The maximum power of each zone varies from 1.2 to 1.8 kW, which allows the most efficient use of energy.

Plates with a hob made of enamelled or stainless steel are equipped with disc-shaped cast-iron burners or burners in the form of an open heat-resistant spiral. They are very inert - they slowly reach the desired temperature regime and also slowly cool down, remaining hot for some time after turning off.

For faster heating, one or more express burners of increased power are placed on the hob. They reach the desired operating mode 3-5 minutes faster than standard counterparts. For ease of use, they are marked with a red spot in the center.

Also, such stoves can additionally be equipped with automatic burners with a white mark in the center. The built-in control sensor detects the temperature of the dishes. Automation independently adjusts the operating mode of the burner, increasing or decreasing its power if necessary.

Models with glass ceramic top can be equipped with several types of burners: rapid, halogen, Hi-Light and induction. Rapid devices are equipped with a spiral working element. They heat up and cool down in about 10-12 seconds. Such plates are offered by Veko, Gorenje, Indesit.

Choosing an electric cookerThe spiral heating element of halogen devices includes a quartz tube filled with gas. The tube emits heat under the action of an electric current. Such burners reach the optimal operating mode in 1-3 seconds.

Hi-Light cooking zones heat up in 5 seconds. Their working element is a corrugated tape made of metal high-resistance analogs. They are marked with a red spot in the center for ease of use.

Also, such stoves can additionally be equipped with automatic burners with a white mark in the center. The built-in control sensor detects the temperature of the dishes. Automation independently adjusts the operating mode of the burner, increasing or decreasing its power if necessary.

IN induction hobs heating is provided by an induction coil that generates electromagnetic waves. The radiation acts directly on the bottom of the cookware. This keeps the hob cold. For cooking on induction hobs, use utensils with a ferromagnetic base.

The burners of glass-ceramic panels are made round and oval. Thanks to this, you can use dishes of different shapes (gosper, special pots and pans). Some devices make it possible to change the geometry of the working area. They consist of an outer and an inner circuit that can be turned on simultaneously or separately. They equip their products AEG, Bosch, Gorenje.
