Features of Zanussi hobs

The choice of a hob depends on many qualities: convenience, advantages, style, ease of cleaning, power and just the taste of the owners of the house. Zanussi is one of the most popular companies that has a number of interesting features.

To save space in a small kitchen, Zanussi built-in panels are the ideal solution. They have two cooking zones and take up little work space - only 30 cm. They can also be used as an addition to the main work surfaces for cooking.

There is a slightly larger option - 60 cm.It is considered standard, and it is chosen more often than others, since this design has 4 burners, which is ideal for the traditional way of cooking in families. There are models up to 90 cm in length. They are characterized by 6 burners, which save the day for parties and special occasions where a significant number of guests are expected. When choosing a suitable countertop, it is best to navigate in depth, which should reach 25-30 cm.

• Induction surface Is the fastest way to reheat food. It quickly reacts to temperature changes and cools down almost instantly. Only the lower part of the dishes will be heated, which will avoid burns.

• Gas option. Visually allows you to monitor the regulation of the flame and control the process of cooking ingredients for the dish.

• Surface of glass ceramics it is smooth and hides heat sources, which greatly simplifies cleaning.

• Surface with metal burners also heats up where it comes into contact with pots, pans and other containers, so make sure that the bottom of the dishes is flat and even.

Powerful surfaces allow crispy fried foods and quickening soups as they provide additional heating. Some of the appliances have a special hotplate designed for vegetarian pans. Desserts or chocolate can also be prepared without much difficulty, as there is a temperature control for cooking (including steaming).

The heating zones can be expandable and are suitable for containers of any volume and size. You can select a surface that has the function of combining two cooking zones. All surfaces are made of stainless steel, which is an additional plus.

Hobs are divided into two categories - dependent and independent. Dependent options are those that cannot function without the presence of an oven, since all controls are in the oven. Here you will have to pick up a special set.

Independent surfaces work completely separate from the oven, if space does not allow or there is no desire. You can only have a hob in the kitchen.

• Splashes will not stick to the induction surface, as only the lower area of ​​the cookware is heated. In this case, there will be no dried fat or oil. Glass can always be easily washed (besides, it cools down very quickly), and remove traces of dirt with a simple damp cloth.
• Glass ceramics on gas appliances are also easier to clean than trying to get rid of dirt on a metal surface.
• Frameless devices have fewer embossed parts that can accumulate dirt, which will have to be removed separately.
• The easiest to clean is the electric cooking surface. It is completely flat and can be washed out in a few minutes.

Since the area of ​​the surface on which the dishes are not standing does not heat up, this increases the level of safety and reduces the risk of burns (this approach is especially important in families with small children). Part of the heated surface after cooking also cools down in a matter of minutes.

On gas versions, the fire will always be in sight, and the built-in AutoOff function will automatically turn off the gas if the flame goes out. Electric surfaces have a childproof function. Some models are equipped with an indicator to indicate that the surface is cool and safe. Other modifications turn off the heating by themselves if they have not been used for a long time.

The electric panel is easier to clean, it is considered safer than the gas one, but the latter is preferred more often, since it is believed that it is more convenient, and it heats up faster. There is also a combined model that combines the same number of gas and electric burners, where you can choose the most convenient option for yourself.

An instruction or a call to a specialist will help to assemble and install the hob (the second option is always preferable in order to avoid mistakes). In the event of a breakdown, parts can be found in the same store where the surface was ordered.
