When choosing a gas stove, you should know several basic parameters. Ovens are gas, independent and dependent electric. What is their main difference? Independent ovens are divided into gas and electric - they save space, complement the interior of the kitchen, control is carried out from its own panel. Dependent ovens are connected to the hob.
When buying an oven, pay attention to its functionality. Modern built-in gas stove with electric oven can be equipped with microwave. The more functionality the oven has, the higher its cost.
Inexpensive ovens (from 5000 rubles) are equipped with a standard set of options: motorized skewer, doors and handles of low heat conductivity, no more than 7 programs, recessed switches. Usually a built-in gas stove with an electric oven has several interchangeable functions: convection mode and a rotisserie - this is its main advantage from built-in gas cabinets, which have a smaller set of capabilities. There is no convention mode in gas cabinets, as ventilated air can extinguish a fire.
A gas stove with a good oven, grill, five programs and accurate thermoregulation will replace several household appliances in your kitchen and save additional money. Built-in stoves are in great demand in the home appliance market, this is not surprising - this type of equipment is very convenient not only in large kitchens, but also in small spaces, due to its ergonomics and high technological parameters. Built-in gas stove with electric oven allows you to most conveniently mount anywhere in the kitchen, unlike a freestanding gas stove.
Most people prefer an independent gas surface with an electric oven. The fact is that the food in the electric oven warms up more evenly, you can cook different dishes at the same time. The downside is considerable electricity consumption, so a gas stove with an electric oven is more suitable for apartments where electric heating predominates.
Some tips for choosing
Models equipped with convection (built-in fan) reduce cooking time, bake foods better and have a heating mode. A gas oven with convection will allow you to cook any dishes, while maintaining their useful properties. The next thing you need to pay attention to is the self-cleaning system. The most common:
· Pyrolytic system - the fat deposited on the walls of the oven, is broken down under the influence of heat.
· Catalytic system. Special plates are attached to the walls of the oven, which in the process of cooking attract all the fat. The service life of these plates is up to 10 years, after which they should be changed.
If the house has small children - choose an oven with a protective lock and good heat insulation of the wings, most modern models have cooling ventilation, which provides reliable thermal insulation. It is very convenient when the oven has a retractable trolley or telescopic trays mode - access to prepared dishes is facilitated.
The timer is of no small importance, in electric ovens it can program the oven on / off, with this option you can freely do other things without worrying about the upcoming dish, the oven will shut itself off at the appointed time. Using the optional probe option you can control the temperature of the products. The choice is yours, be careful and do not buy the cheapness, a high-quality gas stove, equipped with various functions, cannot cost less than 10,000 rubles.
