Ceramic plates in the country appeared relatively recently, nevertheless they were already able to gain popularity among consumers. Such a stove, despite all its obvious advantages, when compared with a conventional gas stove, provides for special care for its surface, as well as the use of special dishes.
What utensils to choose for a ceramic plate
Manufacturers of ceramic plates recommend using only metal utensils that meet certain requirements. This is a guarantee that your stove will last you as long as possible.
The main requirement in this case is utensils, whether it is a frying pan or a pan, should have a flat and flat bottom, as close as possible to the ceramic hob, which will allow for better heat transfer from the stove to the dishes. If the heat transfer is low, then the cooking surface will overheat, respectively, and its service life will be reduced.
Any leaks (air layers between the bottom of the dishes and the surface of the stove), significantly reduce heat transfer. In addition, relief patterns, as well as other roughnesses on the surface of the bottom of the dishes, have a rather negative effect on it.
At the same time, it is desirable that the bottom of your dishes be matte or dark, that is, with a minimum reflection coefficient - light tones reflect heat much better than dark or glossy surfaces.
To prevent temperature deformation (deflection) the bottom of the dishes should also have an optimal thickness, otherwise the density of its fit to the hob will be low.
When choosing dishes for a ceramic plate, be sure to pay attention to the diameter of its bottom, which must correspond to the size of the burners. If the bottom is smaller or larger than the burner, the dishes will not be able to warm evenly, which is very important for high-quality cooking.
