Advantages and disadvantages of combined gas-electric stoves
The combination of two different types of devices in one product allowed manufacturers to combine all the best in each of devices and thereby - to expand the functionality and versatility of the use of combined gas-electric stoves.
As a result of symbiosis, a household appliance was obtained, the advantages of which were such indicators as:
- when cooking on the stove, the cooking process can be started instantly, from the moment the dishes are placed on the gas burner;
- upon completion of cooking, the surface of the gas stove cools down quickly, which allows you to immediately clean it if necessary;
- the temperature mode of cooking on gas can be smoothly adjusted at all stages of this process by changing the amount of gas supplied;
- in an electric oven, the temperature inside the working chamber is set by setting the required values on the control panel and is automatically maintained;
- due to the design and the presence of different types of heating, uniform heating of the prepared dishes is ensured in an electric oven;
- an electric oven is more functional and convenient than a gas oven, moreover, it can be used in automatic mode.
Among the disadvantages of the combined models, the following indicators should be noted:
- the complexity of connecting to engineering networks, which is due to certain requirements for their operation and connection - reliability of electrical wiring and tie-in into an existing low-pressure gas pipeline;
- the need to comply with the Safety Rules for both types of energy used;
- high cost in comparison with analogues operating on the same type of energy.
Kitchen appliance models, which have a gas stove and an electric oven in their design, are used by housewives as follows:
- gas - for everyday cooking, because this type of energy carrier is cheaper;
- electricity - with occasional use (baked goods and other dishes).
What to look for when buying
The choice of a combined model is a more responsible and complex process than in the case of devices operating on one type of fuel.
In this regard, you should consider what you need to pay attention to when buying for each design element of the device separately and as a whole, namely:
General indicators
This category includes:
- overall dimensions - can be standard 500 × 600 × 850 mm (depth × width × height), as well as wide and narrow (from 300 to 900 mm);
- materials used in the manufacture of the case: stainless and enameled steel, alloys of various metals.
Gas stove
With regard to the hob, you should pay attention to the following points, such as:
- the number of hotplates, because the performance of the plate depends on it;
- the type, size and location of the burners in relation to the surface of the stove - this will ensure ease of maintenance and use of the device.
- electric oven.
When considering the characteristics of an electric oven, important indicators that determine its capabilities are:
- number of basic and additional functions;
- the presence of self-cleaning and security systems;
- the design of the control panel and its equipment (the presence of a display, buttons and sensors, etc.).
