Cooktop gas - reviews. The hob is gas, 3 burners. Gas hob "Bosch"

The variety and abundance of products, presented at the present moment in the market of household appliances, can not but cause respect. All these modern ultrafashionable units are designed not only to make life much easier for housewives, but also to improve the interior of kitchen facilities, to ensure maximum functionality of the latter. In one article, it is physically impossible to describe all the qualities and merits of these devices, so let's pause for the moment - one of the most important. And let's talk in detail about what the hob represents. Consider all its advantages and disadvantages (if any), discuss the types and possibilities, listen to the feedback from consumers. We'll tell you about the products of popular producers, and at the same time we will ask the price of it.

So, the heroine of our today's article is the hob (gas). Reviews about her consumers are often only positive, although there are sometimes dissatisfied with their acquisition of ladies and gentlemen. For the sake of justice, it should be noted that the presence of negative responses to this product is due to more unreasonableness and improper choice than to its poor quality. So, in order not to get - albeit in small - ranks unsatisfied with the purchase, let's talk about the selection criteria and the types of hobs that are currently available for sale.

A small digression

The hob gas self-reviews, of course, are not as flattering as, say, the newfangled induction or even electrical surfaces equipped with halogen or ultra-high-speed burners and manufactured with observance of intricate technologies. Cooking, so to speak, in the old manner, on an open fire, nevertheless suggests a number of advantages that can not afford electrical equipment. First of all, this is the taste. Nevertheless, whatever you say, and cooked on living fire food is much more fragrant (this is what any true gourmet will tell you). In addition, electric burners heat longer and cool down. Thanks to their last quality, by the way, not one frying pan and a pan ended prematurely. And the intensity of directly heating itself on the gas surface can be changed instantly, than its electrical and other "advanced" brethren can not boast at all.

So, if your kitchen is equipped with a gas pipeline, then you do not need to envy those who cook on electricity. Our choice is a gas cooktop, the reviews about which we will always have only good, because before buying we thoroughly armed with knowledge about what really are the types of these surfaces. Therefore, we will only acquire what is most suitable for us.

Types of gas hobs

So, the old gas stove, though it served by faith and truth for many years, after the repair and purchase of new furniture was sent to a well-deserved rest. Its place should take a new hob. But ... Let's not hurry. Our "old lady" was permanently equipped with an oven, which can not be said about the new devices for cooking. Far from each of them has an oven. The gas hob without this applies to an independent type of surfaces. What does it mean? And the fact that it does not depend on the oven: you can place and connect it anywhere, which can not but please the "happy" owners of kitchens with an area commensurate with the size of a good closet. The oven itself can be placed, respectively, also in any most acceptable place and, importantly, at the desired altitude.

Dependent hob gas, the price of which, by the way, is much higher than the independent, is already equipped with an oven. It is located in the traditional way: there is a surface for cooking on the countertop, and the oven itself is strictly under it, in a specially equipped kitchen cupboard. Important! If you consider yourself an adherent of the classics, it is better still to get stuck financially and immediately get a second view of the hob. Why? Because in this case it is desirable to have a kit from one manufacturer, since this version of the plates assumes control of both the oven and the panel with buttons located on the hob. Therefore, both the "top" and "bottom" of the slab must have the same technical characteristics. As for independent devices, each of them has autonomous control. Therefore, as evidenced by multiple reviews of the owners of built-in gas stoves, it is difficult to choose an appropriate oven for the already available hob. In addition, the kit will cost much less than if you buy this technique outright.

Dimensions

If before our kitchens were dominated by only two types of plates, a width of fifty and sixty centimeters, then today the consumer has where to clear up when choosing. The minimum size that the manufacturer offers is a gas hob 45 cm wide, the maximum sometimes reaches 90 centimeters. Such impressive dimensions are due to a large number of burners, which we'll talk about a little later. As for the selection criteria, in this case it is necessary to rely on the dimensions of the table top (especially it should be taken into account that all models have a standard depth of sixty centimeters), the availability of free space on the work surface, and the number of family members. That, in fact, is confirmed by the feedback of consumers.

Burners

Built-in hobs differ in the number of burners. The standard number is four, but there are surfaces equipped with two, and five, and even six burners. On what to stop? Here, again, you need to proceed from the size of the kitchen area and, accordingly, free space on the table top, as well as your own preferences. Suppose a small family would have been enough and two burners (this option, by the way, is very common today in the West). However, as they say, it's good for a German ... Still, Russians like to cook as much and eat well. Therefore, if you think that because of the small number of the family is quite able to do with a small number of burners, then for you the manufacturer produces a special gas cooktop. 3 burners - this is the best option. Small in size and very functional (after all, you see, we do not use the fourth burner so often if we use it at all), this stove is ideal for a small family, as well as for those who rarely have to cook a lot, but still happen. And it is then, according to the feedback of the owners of such slabs, an additional burner will not be superfluous.

As for the standards (4 burners), everything is clear and familiar here, but with respect to the five it is necessary to say a few words separately. This is an option for large families and those who are fond of cooking and preparing various kinds of pickles and jams. Usually on the stove of any model there is the most powerful burner. Recently, it has become a two-level, which provides faster cooking and promotes a uniform distribution of heat. In 5-burner plates, this burner is usually located in the middle (it is also often called a wok-ring). Such a device allows Asian cuisine lovers to enjoy dishes prepared in full accordance with the recipe and in a special wok-frying pan. By the way, the gas cooker equipped with such a burner has great gas reviews, because it is on it that food really prepares much faster, which contributes to the maximum safety of processed foods in nutrients. As for the plates with six burners, they are not very demanded in our market, and therefore we will not dwell on them.

Well, we've told you about the selection criteria in terms of functionality, and how many new heating elements your heating hob will have - 3 hotplates, four or all six - depends on you.

Housing

The thickness of the plate, the number of burners - a very important factor. But not less - if not equivalent - the type of material from which the body of the hob is made is of importance. After all, it depends on her appearance, and care, and the complexity of cleaning. Each landlady knows how to "pleasantly" wipe greasy and yellow spots from a white surface or clean up every minute the emerging stains from stainless steel. Therefore, the material from which the vintage hob has been made should be paid the closest attention.

So, what can the manufacturer offer us today?

Classic Edition

This is all well-known and familiar enameled surfaces. The most common colors are white and brown, but if you want you can find the entire palette of shades - from orange to blue. Color panels look very creative, and their cost compared to other types is the most democratic.

If there is a desire to acquire something classic, but with, so to say, a peculiarity, at your service - a gas cooker "Bosch", made in technology, which is popularly called "gas on the glass." It was Bosch that was the first company to produce such panels. What is their feature? The fact that the enamel surface is "diluted" with inserts of tempered glass. And the latter can also be any shade, in accordance with the color of the body itself. Very many mistresses, by the way, vote with two hands for such panels, motivating it with their extremely attractive look, simplicity of care and affordable cost.

Stainless steel

More expensive option in comparison with enamel. It differs in aesthetics, excellent strength and hygienic characteristics. True, requires more careful and careful care, as it is very visible scratches and stains. Perhaps, that is why such a hob gas reviews are not always enthusiastic.

Glass-ceramics

The cooktop made of this material is one of the most expensive, but also the most attractive. Such a plate is a real decoration of the interior. Especially when you consider the fact that they are produced not only in different shades, but even with a picture. If you want, you can buy a plate with a glass-ceramic coating, not only classic white and black colors, but also beige, brown, ivory, etc. The glass ceramic hob Bosch, Ariston, Siemens receives good feedback from the consumer. However, it should be borne in mind that all manufacturers for the manufacture of such surfaces use almost the same material, so the hygienic and aesthetic qualities of all of them will be absolutely identical. So if you really want to have a glass-ceramic cooker in your kitchen, but are limited in means, do not overpay for the brand. Take a lesser known brand. Another thing, if you really want to be in the kitchen was, say, just the gas cooker Ariston, which perfectly suits your needs. Then you can buy a brand, not just a glass-ceramic surface.

And, since we are talking about producers, let's say a few words about the most popular of them - the company "Bosch".

Bosch Gas Cooktop Bosch

By and large, there are practically no negative reviews about this hob. All owners unanimously declare that built-in slabs manufactured by Bosch are safe, extremely reliable, practical. The variety of types and configurations, the choice of the material from which the case is made, the presence of the gas monitoring function and the electric lock, convenient handles and controls - these and many other qualities indicate that the Bosch gas cooker is an excellent choice and an excellent assistant. The excellent quality of the cooker guarantees her a long life in your kitchen, and she herself will become a real decoration of the interior.

Ask about the disadvantage of such a gas cooker? Price. That's the only thing that can keep from buying, as the cost of such a plate varies between 400-800 dollars. So the drawback is at least one, but quite significant. However, if you are still willing to pay for quality, then you will never regret your choice. For those who are somewhat limited in means, there is a wonderful alternative - the hot gas cooker Hotpoint Ariston, which ranks second in the popularity rating after Bosch. You can buy this plate for $ 300, and its technical characteristics are almost the same as those of Bosch. Is that the brand is not so famous.

This would have been enough to finish our conversation about built-in kitchen appliances, if not for one painful question, which many of its new owners are asking: "How to connect the gas hob?"

We answer

The desire of the owner of a built-in stove, though at least something to save, is quite understandable. But in this case it is not welcomed - above all, based on security considerations. Household gas appliances should be connected only by professionally trained people in order to avoid a gas leak and the resulting (sorry for the pun) from this fact of the consequences. Do not feel sorry for yourself - think about your neighbors and loved ones! Here, talk of saving is simply out of place. In addition, there is one more nuance. The fact is that the hob needs not only to connect. Listen carefully! It's also called embedded! That is, it should be placed appropriately (at least at least cut out the countertop), which will require the availability of good tools and skills. Therefore, the answer to this question can be one: "Entrust the connection of the gas hob to specialists!" Forget about saving time for a while, just enjoy the high-quality and long-awaited acquisition.
