Narrow electric cookers and panels

The modern stove plays the role of a home, around which the whole family once gathered, and now it is a functional unit with electronic control that helps to cook hot food for the whole family every day. Manufacturers have long established the production of compact products that fit perfectly into small-sized city apartments, and narrow electric stoves are considered bright representatives of this type of household appliances.

Russian users are accustomed to gas stoves, but modern architects are building multi-storey buildings in sleeping areas, equipped only with electrical products, however, other electricity tariffs apply here. To find out all the advantages of narrow boards, the advantages and disadvantages, as well as certain technical parameters and improvements, you just need to carefully read this article.

Cooker Sizes

Today there are their various options, as well as built-in panels for the kitchen, the width of which varies from 30 to 50 cm. Domino design is characterized by the fact that the mini-stove or each individual block has dimensions of 300x500 mm, any composition can be made of them. The standard size of compact products for a small kitchen is a width of 45 cm, and the hob consists of three burners, and they are arranged in the form of a triangle.

The electric built-in panel for 2 burners has a width of not more than 300 mm, while the heating elements are radial, and the oval appearance is very rare. The width of the glass ceramic panels can be 40 cm, in which case one of the burners will be widened. Experts consider the ideal size for a stove or panel for 3 burners in 450 mm.

Features of narrow electric stoves, their pros and cons

They are convenient to operate, fit perfectly into the interior, allow you to cook any food and culinary delicacies. Like any technique, such plates and panels have certain disadvantages, as well as advantages:

1. There are no pipes of the main gas pipeline, a massive meter spoiling the design of the room.
2. There is no harm to health: there are no combustion products, oxygen is not burned during operation. No need to spend money on a powerful exhaust system.
3. Electric stoves with an oven are considered by experts to be more functional, and the oven cooks better than its gas counterpart, judging by the reviews of users.
4. It is easier to regulate the temperature regime of the burners and the heater inside the oven, because the automation independently maintains the set temperature. The dish is baked evenly.
5. In terms of fire, electrical models are much safer.

Disadvantages:

• glass-ceramic requires the use of dishes with a flat bottom, to ensure full contact, so that the heating is productive and lossless;
• complex connection - it’s better not to try without a specialist, because its power can be the result of overvoltage in the home network; it is necessary to conduct a separate connection to the common panel according to all the rules, only some built-in panels of low power have a plug that is enough to plug into the outlet;
• during a planned or sudden outage, you run the risk of being left without hot food;
• increase in utility bills after installing a new stove or panel.

Electric stoves and panels have high power, so their operation is fraught with the danger of electric shock of high force - do not neglect the rules of safe operation. All connections must be securely insulated and the connection terminals locked.

What to look for when choosing

There are many separate recommendations for selecting the dimensions of the plates and built-in panels, but they are all tied to specific models.As for the narrow options, we can say the following: they fit perfectly into the small-sized kitchen, and the functionality is no worse than that of standard analogues. Each such model has its own characteristics, which we will discuss in detail in the next section.

A few words about the different types of hobs for a modern kitchen:

1. The enameled surface is considered a traditional coating, on it can be cast iron burners or ceramic products of an improved appearance. Such plates are suitable for people who lead a measured lifestyle and are in no hurry.
2. A stainless steel product fits perfectly into any interior, and the ovens with which they are equipped have advanced functional capabilities. You can experiment in cooking culinary delights.
3. Glass-ceramic is a decoration of the kitchen, it is ideal for lovers of national cuisine, which requires the availability of specific dishes: ducklings, cauldron for pilaf or a Chinese wok pan.
4. Induction is the future of all users, because it really saves time for cooking any dishes, especially delicious fried meat. Energy saving due to instant heating and no heat loss, efficiency up to 90% and higher.
