Buying plates with glass ceramic hob requires also pay attention to the dishes. Not all the pots and pans can be used together with the new stove.
Equipment for such plates is chosen based on the principle of heating that is used for the hob. There are two options:
Each option imposes its own requirements on the material, what determines what kind of dishes can be used.
Main settings
Choosing tools for glass ceramic plates, pay attention to the thermal conductivity of which is determined by:
- the bottom surface;
- material and thickness of the structure walls.
Induction types need to take magnetized dishes, which can be used in this variant.
The structure of the bottom
To the bottom of the well heated, to transfer heat to the walls lossless and rapidly heats the contents, it should be:
- perfectly flat, with no patterns, roughness;
- thick enough;
- dark matte color;
- treated with a special compound against scratches and other accidental damage;
- multilayer - outer and inner layer should be made of stainless steel and an intermediate layer of aluminum;
- Induction hobs bottom should be made of ferromagnetic alloys.
Any defects or structural unevenness lower level of thermal conductivity. Attempts to use another bowl make a purchase ceramic hob meaningless.
a concave bottom
The principle of operation allows the use of the hob pan with a concave bottom. The degree of concavity should not exceed 0.6% of the bottom diameter. Thus with increasing temperature concavity is rectified, which provides a quick uniform heating of the walls together with the contents.
Material
When deciding on what dishes to choose for a glass ceramic plate, it is necessary to take into account the material of its walls. It is best to use the products of the stainless steel alloys with additions of chromium and nickel. This material provides good wear resistance, hardness and exposure to chemical attack.
But its main feature - a good thermal conductivity. In addition to steel, it is possible to use such utensils:
- aluminum;
- cast iron;
- enamel;
- glass.
It is also possible to apply the pan with Teflon or ceramic coating. The only condition - the bottom of a thick steel material with good thermal conductivity.
restrictions
On the glass-ceramic can not use devices from a variety of materials, as they may damage the surface of the board or by the dishes.
Usually the bottom of low thermal conductivity impedes the contents heated, deformed by contact with the hot hob, leaves traces on stubborn surface.
The list includes the devices to the bottom of:
- heat-resistant glass and glass ceramics - slow heating process;
- aluminum or copper - elevated temperatures cause them to melt, which spoils the surface of the panel;
- any dishes with a deformed, scratched, uneven and rough bottom.
Such materials and defects do not allow to realize all the benefits of an innovative plate.
rules
To extend the life of pots and pans along with an increase in the efficiency of the cooking process, you need to:
- the tank bottom area corresponds to the size of the heating region;
- dishes outsole has been thoroughly cleaned of impurities;
- before applying the outer coating was dry, for which it must be carefully wipe before full drying.
By following these requirements, you can expect a long service life of the panel, and bought for her instrument. A disregard for the rules can result in malfunctions and deformation of the cookware.
