Choosing a stove is mostly related to your cooking needs. How often do you cook? Do you strive to prepare meals as quickly as possible or do you want to enjoy cooking? What is most important to you: that the stove fits into the interior of the kitchen or that cooking is easy?
Whatever your answers, our suggestions will cover your requirements for choosing this strategic electrical appliance. All models of cookers with us are of the highest energy efficiency class A. The cookers that you will find in the product group are electric and combined. They can be with different surfaces – enameled or glass-ceramic, with the latter being in the more expensive price range, but on the other hand being significantly better quality and increasingly preferred by consumers.
The stoves are manufactured by proven brands in the industry such as GORENJE, CONCEPTA, ELDOM.
COOKING OVENS – ELECTRIC AND COMBINED
Electric stoves have several hotplates – in most cases, either 2 or 4, one of which is fast-heating. The stoves that you can find with us have different types of heating zones – cast iron hotplates, glass ceramic hotplates and induction hotplates. They all have their pros and cons, but when buying a stove, everyone should take into account their individual needs.
Cast iron hobs are used in standard enamelled cookers. They are traditional and the most common. They remain popular due to their simple construction and accessibility. Their advantage is that in case of damage they have a low replacement cost. They are strong, with a rough surface where scratches are not noticeable. Their main disadvantage is that they heat up more slowly than other types and have a higher electricity consumption, which is due to the time it takes to reach the desired temperature. The efficiency of the energy used is 60%.
Glass ceramic hobs are the most convenient hobs to use. They heat up extremely quickly – in just a few seconds, and the surface a few centimeters from the hob remains cold. Controlling the temperature during cooking is much easier than with conventional hobs. Glass ceramic hobs are usually regulated by touch buttons with light indication.
Induction hobs have not yet fully entered the household due to the fact that not all cookware is compatible with them. However, induction hobs are starting to gain more and more popularity due to their high energy efficiency coefficient – 90%. The real losses come from the heat given off to the heated pot. Induction hobs do not have a heating element. Instead, a source of a strong electromagnetic field is used. It creates a current in the bottom of the pot, which heats it. In this way, the cookware is heated directly.
Combination cookers combine the advantages of electric and gas cookers. They have 4 heating zones - two on electricity and two on gas.
MINI OVENS AND SMALL COOKING STOVES
In the product group, in addition to various types of cookers, you will also find compact ovens. They are designed only for baking and do not have hotplates. They are smaller in volume, but allow you to prepare food with the same ease as in a large oven. All of them are equipped with a cooking tray, as well as a grill rack.
If you practice cooking in a smaller volume, the ideal option for you are small stoves. The difference between a large and a small stove is the number of hotplates and the volume of the oven. The oven is slightly inferior in volume in liters to larger stoves. All stoves are made with an enamel surface, which allows for easy, trouble-free and quick maintenance and cleaning.
