The kitchen stove receives a lot of attention when it comes to selection. The number of meals prepared depends on the quality and size of this household appliance. The choice among the sources is small: gas or electricity. It is necessary to be determined, starting from the possibility of connecting to a particular source. You need to understand the characteristics of kitchen units more thoroughly. Food requirements differ from family to family. Lunch or dinner parties require a significant amount of elements on the hob. If homemade food is rare, 1-2 heating elements and, possibly, an oven are enough.

The unified working kitchen has the following dimensions: height - 85 cm, width - from 50 to 60 cm. Glass-ceramic options are usually narrower, and hobs with 1-2 burners are 30 cm wide at all. Small slabs are well suited for small apartments. Often, you need to choose the appropriate dishes for them. If the kitchen allows, it is better to choose standard stoves, for which you do not need special utensils.

Built-in hobs and ovens are selected if there is the necessary space for the appliances in the kitchen set. One hob is enough for cooking, especially if there is no need for an oven. If you are short on funds, the space under the oven can be taken up with appliances later. Built-in units are distinguished by convenience, hygiene and high-quality materials of manufacture.

Many housewives admire the beautiful glass-ceramic stove. Conservatism, habits, various interpretations lead to a biased judgment about household appliances from this category. The most important inconvenience in handling such a stove is the residual temperature. Heating elements must be switched on in advance, switched off - shortly before the end of cooking.

Dishes can be tasty even at low temperatures. At maximum mode, they have a risk of burning, so the position of the temperature regulator must be carefully monitored.

If there is an electric oven, then when baking flour products, it is recommended to preheat it. Place baked dishes in a cold oven. Baked meat and fish are juicier when cooked in foil. Ventilation inside will increase the amount of heat, but may cause food to become excessively dry. You can connect the fan mode at the beginning of cooking, but do not forget to turn it off at the end. After cooking, electric stoves are advised to be disconnected from the mains. The same action is recommended for general cleaning of household appliances.
