The German manufacturer Kaiser produces quality home appliances. Gas, electric stoves, ovens, thanks to their impeccable characteristics, are convenient. A special niche is for specimens that consume both gas and electricity.

An important advantage of Kaiser combi cookers is the ability to use the positive qualities of both gas and electricity at the same time. The owners of such products receive adjustable burners, a luxurious multifunctional oven. The Kaiser stove can be equipped with a familiar panel, where gas equipment will be supplied, and the oven is fully electric.

There are also universal products in the Kaiser line with two types of burners: gas and electric. The practicality of electric gas stoves significantly expands the horizons of culinary. In the event of a power failure or a gas cutoff, working hobs remain at your disposal. It is not for nothing that especially popular stoves are on sale, where one or two burners are electric, and the rest are gas. The advantage of such models lies in the ability to connect to both main gas and a cylinder.

This advantage was appreciated by the owners of cottages and country houses. Together with the advantage of gas hobs, the advantages of electric ovens are appreciated, which are considered safer and more comfortable than gas ovens. Modern models are equipped with convection, grill, automatic shutdown. All these advantages were also appreciated by the hostesses.

The disadvantages of Kaiser boards include characteristics such as:

• high cost of technology;
• high operating costs;
• the need for high-quality wiring.

The design features of Kaiser cookers differ depending on the type of these household appliances. Let's consider them in more detail.

A classic gas stove has significant advantages over an electric one. First of all, this is the shortened time that needs to be spent on cooking. With a gas stove, you can immediately start your culinary creation. Electric burners need to warm up as much as possible, and then you can already cook. Their cooling is also slow. You can simply turn off the gas hob and the heat supply simply stops.

Modern gas stoves are presented in a wide range. Customers are attracted to these products by the stylish design and good technical features. The models are distinguished by a variety of additional functionality. You can find a good gas stove at a lower price than an electric one.

There are few main points to look for when buying.

• Hotplates. The nozzles in the devices differ in diameter. The parts are interchangeable; in case of breakdown, you can simply install others.
• Hob. In gas stoves, it is usually steel, with an enamel coating. This solution is aimed at facilitating the maintenance of the stove. Panels made of high-strength glass are especially resistant to damage.
• Oven. In classic stoves, it is also equipped with gas, but sometimes it is complemented by an electric grill. When buying, it is important to think about whether this supplement is needed in everyday life.
• Ignition. Modern cookers are distinguished by an automated system. Automatic ignition makes it easy to switch on the cooking zones.To activate this option, a separate button on the panel is usually provided.

Modern devices of this type are convenient, since they can be operated from a conventional home electrical network. The characteristics and capabilities of the models are different, they must be studied in advance.

The oldest electric stoves with cast iron heating elements. The main conductor of energy in such products is the spiral element. Due to their simple design, these electric stoves are affordable. The same simple design becomes the reason for prolonged heating of the burners, inaccuracies in temperature readings.

An electric stove with induction heating elements works by means of special coils that allow eddy currents to pass through. Such instances consume less energy, and they have more opportunities. Additional modes of operation are safe in daily use. But plates of this type exclude the use of metal utensils.

Products with a glass-ceramic surface work due to a spiral or tape heating part. The element is located under a single hob, which is easy to maintain. The top glass can be adjusted according to the degree of heating, and absolutely any dish can be used.

Vapors of inert gases are involved in halogen structures. They are responsible for the rapid heating of the dishes. Plates are distinguished by a variety of program modes, a variety of additional functionality. The cost of these copies is still very high. The main advantage of all electric stoves is increased safety. In the absence of a gas pipeline, gas leakage is excluded. Extraction is not necessary for electric cookers, since they do not remove oxygen from the room. Heating temperature in electric stoves is regulated more precisely.

Gas-electric kitchen stoves are static or multifunctional. The first copies have heating elements in the oven. Sometimes the models are complemented by a grill, which is a tubular electric heater. The design allows you to more accurately adjust the temperature, which is more convenient when cooking.

Multifunctional units have the function of forced air circulation. There are more heating elements in the oven, more precisely, 4. Even distribution of heat allows you to set certain modes. Some specimens are able to defrost food.
