Miniature gas furnaces

Today it is difficult to find a user who would never cook on stoves that use blue fuel, natural gas mains or liquefied gas cylinders. Many Russians use gas stoves for desktop placement in dachas where there is no main gas pipeline, the product is connected to the cylinder, having an oven available, this design completely replaces the standard stove.

Many readers are interested in how such miniature devices differ from full-size models, what technical parameters, advantages and disadvantages they have. To find out all the nuances of proper use and find answers to frequently asked questions, we advise you to carefully read our article.

Specifications

Mini-cookers with ovens have the same set of technical parameters as their standard counterparts, so each one will be briefly highlighted.

Dimensions and weight

These very compact products have a width of 550 mm, a height and depth of 400 mm, so they can be installed anywhere in the kitchen, for example, on a wide windowsill or a separate stand from the kitchen unit. Product weight up to a maximum of 19 kg.

Housing and hob

The body of the original furnace is made of brown enameled metal, this coating is resistant to minor mechanical damage. The hob with gas burners is made of heat-resistant enamel, it is quite easy to care for it, just do not use detergents with abrasive filling, so as not to scratch the surface.

Burners and burners

Many consumers still confuse these names: for cooking on gas, a modern design with automatic ignition on piezoelectric elements or an electrical analogue is used - this is called the burner, and open burners are installed in the oven.

Oven

A miniature copy is designed for baking and is able to perform similar actions as the standard version, only the internal volume of products is not more than 19 liters. The door is equipped with two-layer glass to protect users from possible burns, because the maximum temperature reaches 270 degrees.

Gas control system

Modern gas equipment is available only with such systems designed to ensure the safe use of blue fuel. In case of sudden flame attenuation, a special sensor transmits a signal, a special rod shuts off the gas supply to the burner or burner in the oven.

Child protection

Rotary switches are designed so that young children will not be able to turn on the gas stove during the absence of adults.

Today, not many manufacturers produce miniature gas stoves with ovens, the leader in this is Hephaestus from the Republic of Belarus.

Features of gas burner furnaces

The range of gas mini-stoves with ovens is small, so choosing the best option for your needs is quite simple. Almost every model can work from the main or balloon liquefied gas. The dimensions of such products are small, as well as their own weight, so they can be easily transported, for example, to the cottage, so that during the whole season of work in the vegetable garden and in the garden, you can provide yourself with hot food and even homemade cakes.

The oven is small, but it really will help you out in the fall: you can pasteurize cans for canning, dry chopped fruits or mushrooms harvested in the forest. Using a wire rack and a baking tray to collect fat, you can cook meat delicacies no worse than in a standard oven in a city apartment.The main advantage of such a product is its unique compactness and excellent mobility.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of desktop models are almost identical, like their large-sized counterparts:

1. There is no inertia when heating the burner, so the dishes and its contents are instantly heated.
2. After the gas supply is shut off, heating stops, which means that there is no 100% risk of digesting food.
3. The heating power can be controlled visually, reducing or increasing the burning of the flame.
4. The cost of gas in any region of Russia is much lower than the price of electricity.
5. Although the cost of miniature desktop counterparts and higher, but they are available to a wide segment of the population.

There are minor disadvantages:

• the oven has fewer options than in the standard version;
• the cylinder connection system needs to be checked more often than the trunk version.

For many years, gas household equipment has been the most affordable and very popular solution. Modern developments improve the technical parameters, use, as well as the safety of long-term operation.

How to choose

Choose a desktop household gas stove in such a way that it meets your requirements, experts advise paying special attention to such characteristics:

1. Sizes and weight. We have already talked about the standard dimensions of desktop stoves - they rarely exceed the parameters of 550x400x400 mm, and weight no more than 18-19 kg. Such a product does not take up much space, even in the smallest summer kitchen.
2. Each model has two burners, and their total power does not exceed 1.6 kW, they can be the same in size or different, depending on the whim of the designer.
3. The body of the product is made of metal coated with white or brown enamel; heat-resistant enamel is used for the hob. Compact models blend harmoniously into the interior of any kitchen.
4. Oven. The inner coating - enameled metal, can be of gas or electric type - is already for everybody, some prefer an electric grill for toasting meat delicacies, but for giving it is still considered more comfortable gas counterpart.
5. The presence of a grill and skewer increases the cost of a mini-cooker for tabletop placement, so this addition is only of interest to gourmets who in any situation and weather want to try their favorite delicacy.
6. All models have a high level of security, which is achieved by using the latest technologies: gas control sensors are installed in the oven and on the hob, the automatic ignition system helps to dispense with matches and piezo lighters. Parental control should be present in any household equipment if you have small and rather curious children in your family.

We hope that our recommendations will help you make the only right choice.

You can fry, steam and bake pies in the light of an ordinary candle.
