Electric stoves are safe because they do not have open fire. When cooking, oxygen is not burned. They are easier to keep clean because there are no protruding elements. To improve the contact between the burner and the cookware, cookware with a thick, even bottom is used.
Instruction manual
1
Decide which type of installation is best for you. You can place the hob separately from the oven, or you can above it. When placed together, a dependent cooking surface is possible, and a common control panel for the stove and oven. According to special tables, an oven and stove are selected to each other. When placed separately, an independent hob with its own control is required.
2
Consider how many burners suit you. With a separate installation type, it becomes possible to select the type and number of burners. A variety of burner shapes from square to oval, deep burners for WOK, an integrated grill - the installation depends on your preference. A limitation in this case may be the size of your kitchen.

Choose the material of the heating elements of the hob: cast iron, stainless steel, enamel, tempered glass, glass ceramics. Most often in electric stoves there are cast iron and glass ceramics. Cast iron burners look familiar: round, slightly convex. They have disadvantages: they slowly heat up and slowly cool.

Separate consideration requires options for heating elements of glass-ceramic surfaces.
- Rapid burners - a spiral that quickly heats up to red, giving a high temperature.
- Halogen burners - a halogen lamp that glows with a bright red light, giving a large amount of heat.
- Hi Light burners - ribbon elements heating up slightly faster than halogen lamps.
- Induction rings - an induction unit is installed that directly heats the bottom of the dishes. This type of heating elements forces the use of special dishes containing cast iron or steel. The temperature is forced only in the field of induction under the dishes, and the burner itself remains cold.

Pay attention to a number of disadvantages that glass-ceramic electric stoves have. A smooth glass-ceramic surface that is not afraid of heavy utensils may not withstand a point impact of a knife. Particular care must be taken when placing dishes on the surface - are there loose substances such as cereals, salt or sugar. If such crumbs fall under the dishes, there may be scratches, and the melted sugar will not be washed.
