There are two types of stoves: together with the oven and as a separate device. The times have already passed when the boards had primitive functionality and limited use. Modern stoves can do almost everything: from ruddy pastries to barbecue. In addition, modern stoves have a different set of functions, which can satisfy both a professional cook and a simple housewife. To begin with, we will deal with the classification.
In addition to the fact that the stove may or may not include an oven, there are stoves and ovens of various types: gas and electric. Those. it turns out that the options are possible:
- gas stove with gas oven;
- gas stove with electric oven ;
- electric stove with electric oven.
Consider the benefits of using gas and electricity. Gas is a fuel that has a relatively low cost, unlike electricity. A great option if the house is connected to a centralized gas supply. A gas stove with a gas oven does not require additional communications (in the form of electricity), which greatly simplifies the installation of the device. Gas heating is more rapid, i.e. It takes less time to cook. If we consider the shortcomings, they are as follows:
- it is difficult to regulate the temperature;
- open fire;
- smell;
- difficulty in operation.
If you can’t decide what suits you best: a gas stove with a gas oven, an electric stove with an electric oven or an alternative - a gas stove and an electric oven, then you need to look for the pros and cons of electrical appliances. Benefits:
- availability of electricity;
- security;
- accuracy of fire control;
- ease of maintenance;
- forced ventilation;
- additional software features.
The disadvantages include:
- price;
- slow warm-up dynamics.
In addition to the presence or absence of an oven, when choosing a stove, you need to pay attention to the dimensions, color, depth of the oven, the number of rings and their shape, the presence of various operating modes, additional functions. For small kitchens, a two-burner gas stove with an oven is a good option. For spacious kitchens, a four-burner hob and separate oven can be a good solution. As a result, it all comes down to your interior - the choice of color, dimensions and separability.
So what is a gas stove with a good oven? If you choose from two options, then the best will be an electric oven. Cooking in the oven is often quite a delicate process due to the high temperature and low visualization of the cooking process. Fine-tuning the modes, automatic timer and shutdown give the opportunity to simplify cooking more. Gas ovens also have a timer, but do not have an automatic shutdown.
A normal modern gas stove with a gas oven has a maximum of gas control and electric ignition. Some manufacturers install on their stoves the function of automatic fire maintenance and forced ventilation (for the oven). An electric oven can have a grill function that is many times greater than a gas grill. In addition, it is more inherent in fine fire control by setting the temperature on the dial, and the mode control of the heaters provides more options.
There are many companies on the market engaged in the production of gas stoves with an oven. The leaders that consumers prefer are: AEG, Bosch, Kaiser. Of course, these are not the cheapest models, but they have high reliability and excellent functionality.
If you are just laying the kitchen or redesigning the kitchen space, then the oven and hob should be separate. Buying these devices separately, you get more functional and versatile devices in your field.
