When choosing a glass-ceramic electric stove, you need to pay attention to the material of the heating element. Of great importance is the ability to save energy and facilitate the cleaning process.
The latest models of glass-ceramic electric stoves seem to have emerged from some kind of science fiction film about the future: a sleek design, an absolutely even smooth surface with a minimum of buttons and control levers. It seems - touch it, and it will scatter into a thousand small glass fragments. Despite the impression of fragility, a glass-ceramic electric stove has high strength, and most importantly, for which it has received such wide distribution - increased thermal conductivity of the hob, which allows you to cook food at a faster speed than on the same gas counterpart.
Selection criteria according to design and heating rate
First of all, the buyer needs to decide whether he will take the dependent plate or independent. In the dependent electric stove, the hob and the oven are combined in a single unit, in the independent these two components of the same unit can be installed in different parts of the kitchen. Next, you need to determine the power, configuration and size of the burners, more precisely, with the heating zones. To heat the area of the plate indicated by the corresponding marking, various high-tech materials can be used.
In particular, rapid heating elements are based on a flexible, quick-heating alloy. The speed of its heating is 7-12 seconds. A halogen heater is used in conjunction with a rapid heater and is able to warm up even faster. When choosing a glass-ceramic electric stove with induction heating, it is necessary to foresee the possibility of buying special dishes, although this heating technology is the most advanced and best.
