Technical characteristics of electric stoves
The main difference between an electric stove and an induction or gas stove is that the working zone is heated by heating the coil with electric current. This principle of operation has its own characteristics.
Electric stoves differ in the following characteristics:
- number of burners;
- dimensions;
- the presence of an oven;
- management method;
- stove cover;
- availability of additional functions;
- power.
It is also worth knowing that electric stoves use exclusively electric ovens, in which the following functions can be provided:
- Grill. Adherents to a healthy diet will appreciate this feature. For cooking in this case, oil does not need to be used. The grill can be of several types: infrared or electric.
- Convection. A very useful function, thanks to which the dishes are evenly fried. There are fans inside the oven that make hot air circulate continuously.
- Illumination and door lock. When the family has small children, door lock is simply a necessary function, it will protect your child from burns.
- Timer. Not a required feature, but very useful. The timer will remind you when your food is fully cooked and it is time to take it out of the oven.
Advantages and disadvantages
Built-in and freestanding electric stove is perfect for both home and professional kitchen. However, like any other household appliance, this one has its pros and cons. Among the advantages should be highlighted:
- Most modern high-rise buildings and country cottages do not provide for the use of a gas pipeline. In this case, the use of an electric stove is the most optimal way out of the situation.
- Security. Do not worry about a gas leak. Moreover, when gas is burned, many toxins are released, which are unsafe for the human body. The electric stove is devoid of these shortcomings.
- Fine adjustment of the temperature of the spirals. There is no need to constantly monitor the temperature, this process is carried out automatically.
Of the minuses, the following points can be distinguished: only dishes with a flat bottom are suitable, complicated installation.
Equipment
It is worth considering that the oven can be built-in or purchased separately, this is an important point. When buying a stove, the equipment may be slightly different, but in most cases it is as follows:
- Cast iron burners, the heating of which occurs by means of glowing nichrome spirals.This type of burner is used in the most common electric stoves.
- Skewer. Usually comes with those stoves that have a grill function. The skewer will provide the cooked meat with uniform roasting.
- Some cookers have a retractable grill, thanks to which it is very convenient to check the food for readiness in the oven.
How to choose?
So, what information is worth reading before you go buy a Bosch electric stove? Naturally, it will not be enough just to pay attention to the design and color of the plate, because there are other, no less important factors that influence the choice.
Number of burners
If the family consists of several people, then you can choose a stove with two or three rings. That will be quite enough. But if you have a large family and also you like to cook often, then you need to take a stove with 4 rings.
Also on the market for Bosch models there are combination cookers where there are gas or induction stoves next to electric burners.
Surface material
The surface of the plate is also of great importance. Several types of cooking surfaces are available:
- Enamelled. This surface is available in terms of price. It has good parameters: it is strong enough, easily cleansed of fat and food, and has different color schemes. Enameled hob suitable for any kitchen interior.
However, it should be borne in mind that contaminants adhere very strongly to the enameled surface. If you use a cleaning agent with an abrasive, then enamel will eventually become damaged. - Steel. Stainless steel is becoming more and more popular - it is stylish. Stainless steel plates look amazing. They emphasize the design of stylish kitchens. In addition, steel is easier to care for than enamel.
- Glass ceramic. The most expensive, but at the same time attractive surface. This material has long established itself on the positive side. Particularly attractive and expensive are freestanding stovetops made from ceramics. They attract with a smooth surface, even shapes and design.
The main advantage of ceramic hobs is the uniformity of heating the dishes. Also, on these surfaces, food is cooked much faster, since ceramics heat up much faster, compared to stainless steel.
But it is worth remembering that ceramics is afraid of shock. A pan falling onto such a surface mercilessly breaks it.
Control
Several types of control are provided: electrical and mechanical. The second option is preferred by lovers of the classics. Thanks to the rotary switches, the heating intensity can be reduced or increased.
The electronic control type is more convenient. Thanks to it, it is possible to more accurately control the heating elements of the stove and set the exact temperature conditions.
Dimensions
Size matters, especially for small kitchens. Width varies in different ranges. The standard dimensions are considered to be 85x60 mm. If you need to choose a stove for a spacious kitchen, you can give preference to large models.
The next, no less important parameter is the depth, it is 60 cm, which corresponds to the parameters of kitchen furniture. However, you can pick up plates and a shallower depth.
Color
In this matter you need to be guided solely by personal preferences and tastes. Today you can buy Bosch stoves of various colors. In this matter, it is important to pay attention to the design of the kitchen room and choose the stove that will fit into the interior in color.
