All about gas stove burners

The speed of preparation of 2-3 dishes at the same time depends on the number of heating points on the hob of the gas stove. The power also affects the heating rate to the desired cooking temperature. Manufacturers are constantly developing new models of gas stoves, improving the designs of individual parts, achieving the greatest power.

The burner with a divider is located on the surface of the stove, the burner is located inside the stove. When the surface is washed and cleaned during cleaning, it is necessary to ensure that water does not penetrate into the channels of the divider. Gas from the burner through the nozzle enters the diffuser flare, where it is combined with air.

The burner cover with its rough inner surface reflects the air-gas mixture that enters the diffuser. Then the gas passes through the channels and is divided into thin streams. Then they ignite. The reflector helps to evenly distribute the flame to the diffuser channels.

In addition to burners with one flame diameter, there are turbo burners (or express burners) that use two or three rows of flame. This design instantly raises the heating temperature and helps to distribute it evenly. This allows food to be cooked much faster. Due to the accelerated cooking, gas consumption is also saved. The turbo burner also cooks food in the WOK pan, if you put in the adapter for its installation.

Wok-burners are characterized by a triple flame row and a device with which you can cook in pans with a spherical or thick bottom. Speeds up food preparation. A traditional Asian pan is suitable for cooking food on wok-burners.

This frying pan has a thick bottom and thin sides. The food in it is evenly cooked throughout the volume, and this happens very quickly. Vitamins are stored in food, which is beneficial for health. The hotplate is not used for cooking every day. Even on ultra-modern models, one such burner is often installed.

The reinforced model is designed for fast food preparation. It has an oversized nozzle. Stoves that are equipped with a wok burner have different types of gas flame regulation. Most often she has one switch. The stove models, which are equipped with multilevel burners, have their own gas supply regulator in each circuit. The power of the flame at each level changes autonomously, as required for cooking.

More often, such a burner is installed in the center of the stove, sometimes manufacturers change the design and place the turbo burner on the left or right of the stove. A thick cast iron model is used on professional hobs. It is used to stew food, prepare sauces and reheat to heat plates.

A gas stove has 2 to 6 burners. A complete set of 4 burners is considered standard. It is suitable for a family of 3-5 people. Two burners are enough for two people and for a summer cottage option. Three burners will perfectly satisfy a family of three or even four people, as there are enough of them for cooking. A gas stove with 5 or 6 burners is chosen by those who cook a lot or who have a spacious kitchen. Such a stove will need a lot of space for installation.

Gas burners on the stove can be positioned in different ways:

• one row;
• square;
• rectangle;
• semicircle;
• rhombus.

How to place them on the surface depends on the number of burners. It is impractical to place five or six burners in one row, the stove will take up a lot of space. It is better to arrange them in 2 rows.

But 2-4 burners are arranged in a row. Access is obtained equally to everyone at the same time. The four burners are positioned in the usual way - in the form of a square or in the form of a diamond. With this arrangement, you can freely approach 3 cooking zones at once. In this case, the main burners are at an equal distance from the wall and the edge of the plate.

The burners are the main element when choosing a gas stove. Pay special attention to the nozzles. Through them, the flow of flame enters the divider. Gas stoves are equipped with nozzles of different diameters. In the kit, one reinforced burner is added to the usual burners, which has a large nozzle diameter.
