Ceramic hob: how it works, the pros, the exploitation of

In today's market offers a variety of modern kitchen appliances. Each of them has a unique design and technical features, which leads to confusion and a difficult choice.

Demand for glass-ceramic plate is growing, so the market of home appliances gradually filled with modern products of the glass-ceramic. Before you make a purchase, it is important to identify the main aspects: what is needed cooker, what functions it performs, what time is.

How does a ceramic hob

Kitchen appliances, which is equipped with a glass ceramic coating, is a type of electric stoves. It differs from the other smooth and mirror-like surface on which the electric hotplates are placed.

They are divided into two types: normal and dual circuit. In the two-circuit controlled heating rate, for large pots - a larger diameter, for small pots - less regulated and uniform heating dishwashing irregular shape.

The main working elements of the model are heated instantly Tubular heaters, which heat passes through the glass and heats the pan.

Glass-ceramic panel is made of a material - Cera, which has durability and ability to withstand the fall of heavy objects. The cooking appliance with a panel mounted or halogen burners, infrared lamps, or Type High Light, which are heated by special alloy ribbons in the form of a snake.

The operating principle of the glass ceramic panel is similar to the usual, with cast-iron pancake. The heating element is momentarily heated and conduct heat itself in the proper direction to the container. He and cools rapidly, and after a few minutes after switching off, the panel can be safely touched.

Instantaneous and uniform heating makes it possible to prepare meals quickly and tasty. In addition to the cooking surface equipped with another technique oven that operates with two or four heating elements. Plate made of vitrified clay and executed in a stylish design, fits well into the modern kitchen interior.

functions

Combined hob - three gas and one electric hotplate or two gas and two electric. This model is designed for those places where often there are power outages, and even in such cases, cooked hot food.

Functional characteristics of the burners:

• Thermostatic function - a temperature sensor which is equipped with the panel, control and maintain the desired heating temperature. This feature helps in the preparation of dishes that require constant temperature during prolonged cooking.
• variable heating zone Function - makes it possible to cook or heat food in a bowl of irregular shape, for cooking in a patch or utyatnitsu oval. In such cases, an auxiliary heating segment which promotes uniform heating of the bottom of outline contours.

Glass-ceramic cooking appliance LEDs are characterized by equipping the burners and residual heat indicators.

helper functions can be incorporated, such as:

• an infrared sensor for sensing the temperature of utensils, which controls an increase or decrease in its degree of heating;
• Automatic boiling which is aimed at disabling the partial heating power burner;
• security system - is responsible for blocking accidental activation plate, so when the house is small children grow, this feature comes in handy;
• automatic cooking food - allows you to prepare your own food, you must only specify the weight of the product and enable the desired mode. When the food is ready, the electronic timer will give a signal. This specification kitchen appliances will save much time mistress.

Pros vitro-ceramic cookers

• A distinctive feature of the glass-ceramic - is the thermal conductivity. It heats the hob only vertically. Therefore, the thermal energy is distributed only on the base of the pan, not the hob.
• Glass-ceramic panel instantly cools, therefore reducing the heating power, the temperature decreases at the same rate.
• Burners operate at different temperature regimes. For example, the automatic reduction of heating - power in the process of cooking food is automatically reduced.
• The size and diameter of the heating elements modifiable, thereby changing the heating zone. At the same burner is put dishes with different diameters bottom. This leads to the careful consumption of electricity.
• Undergoes change and the form of schematic pancakes, so food is cooked in pans oval shape, heat-resistant glass, utyatnitsu or baking dish.
• Burners with boiling control function significantly reduces time presence near the stove. For this purpose initially include low burner power and the tracking mode. Warmed up to boiling temperature, it automatically decreases the preset.
• Ovens such models are made illuminated, a temperature sensor, ventilation, electrical systems and catalytic purification.
• Smooth and matte finish transforms the interior of the kitchen, giving it a neat appearance and ennobles.

Equipment

To choose the right stove with glass-ceramic, it is necessary to take into account the main factors on the technical specification, a set of features and cost.

Glass-ceramic cooking appliance with four conventional burner, equipped with mechanical or electronic control type. The switches are rotary and touch with timer and display.

Usually there are only indicators of heating, boiling indicators available. Safety shutdown, blocking switches and the control panel is not present.

Electric oven - a volume of 50 to 80 l with illumination and drop door, consisting of two glass cleaning - standard. Capacious box for glassware is under the oven.

Such a model is not equipped with a variable heating zones. Disadvantage may be that the temperature on the display does not appear, although the temperature indicator is.

Double-circuit rings are usually equipped with mechanically controlled. There are indicators of heat settings, clock and alarm.

Ample electric oven, a volume greater than 60 liters, equipped with a hinged door, illumination, electrical and convection. Such household appliances are capacious box model dishwashing, adjustable feet, standard cleaning and steam cleaning.

Operation of the glass ceramic plate

• To clean the art special means must be used, because the use of conventional means may spoil its appearance.
• To remove stubborn dirt from the cooking surface must have a special scraper for glass ceramic. It is recommended to purchase a steel scraper, but not plastic.
• If the glass-ceramic materials have fallen droplets fuse, they must be removed urgently. If they are frozen, be heated plate and remove the dirt scraper.
• To wash the surface is necessary to use lint-free cloth, paper towels or wipes for glass ceramics.
• To wash the hob, you must first be washed with a damp cloth and then wipe dry with a dry towel or cloth.

What kind of dishes you want to use on steklokeromicheskoy plate?

• For glass ceramic coating can not use pans with aluminum or copper bottoms. If after these traces remain, they can burn on the hob on and spoil the whole look.
• Enamelled pan can be used if the blank will not be included in the burner.
• The best option would stainless steel tableware with a smooth and thick bottom.

For uniform heating without heat loss, the bottom dishes should match the diameter of the hotplate. Those pots are used for gas stoves, are not suitable for glass ceramic. Due to the uneven heating of the gas stove flames, their bottom becomes uneven, which is not suitable ceramic.

By purchasing the dishes, you need to choose the one that says that it is designed for glass ceramic. The inscription "for electric stoves" is not appropriate, because it says about the purpose of working for enameled panels. Glass and ceramic tableware is inconvenient to use, so long as it is heated and the heat is not quickly reduced.

Security

• It is not necessary to test the plane on impact. Any durable material under the influence of frequent bursts of punches.
• It is important to avoid scratching. Otherwise it will lead to malfunction of the cooking plane.
• If the glass ceramic hob is equipped with an infrared sensor, do not leave cooking food unattended process. If fluid escapes from the pot, then on a smooth surface without skirting it spilled on the floor or hit on the other burners that trigger the appearance of problems at work.
• For cleaning you can not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool. Can develop scratches.
• To surface cracks do not occur, it is impossible to put a wet dishes. Over time, it may happen that the coating of the glass ceramic will not stand.
• With the bulk materials is important accuracy, they should not be exposed to the surface, especially sugar.
• The glass-ceramics can withstand heavy loads, but cracks appear on targeted killings.
• Do not clean with dirty rags and parched, it will become even dirtier.
• It is impossible that the bottom of the cookware with the remnants of food. If they will burn to the surface, it can lead to scratches, stains or plaque.
• Include a burner is necessary after the dishes will have to stand at the plate.

Even if the appearance of a smooth surface of the glass ceramic is broken, scratches, stains, plaque, stains, oven can still be used.

If the hob is something burnt, the first thing you want to do - is to turn off the hob. Then urgently ground pollution metal scraper removed for even hot surface.

When the plane has cooled, it should use a special tool for cleaning glass-ceramic. Then, using a paper towel to remove other impurities in a circular motion. Wipe the hob clean and soft towel.

Glass-ceramic plates are kitchen appliances that improved and produced by high technology. Gradually replacing the enamel and capturing new market space.

The main advantage is appreciated by all the hostess, is a momentary heating hob and dishes respectively, standing on it. It should be noted an important feature - heats only the cooking zone, the rest of the surface remains cold.
