Modern gas cookers
The household plates produced today have from 2 to 6 burners, and are equipped with either gas or electric ovens, or without them. The design of the gas cooker consists of a cabinet in the form of a pedestal on which a gas surface with burners is located, an oven or a space under the dishes, a gas distributing device with control valves are built in it. Gas plates are made of heat-resistant materials, which have a high resistance to corrosion.
The hob from the gas cooker is usually made of enameled metal. But in recent years, the demand for gas stove panel made of stainless steel is also growing. The most expensive models of plates are made with a surface made of a material such as glass ceramics.

In the case where you just want to change the old plate you have for a new one, then naturally the choice will be over the gas stove. But, when you want to completely change furniture in the kitchen, it is worth considering how it is more functional and comfortable for you to place everything in the kitchen.
