How to choose a cooking stove that you like and that works well

Browse By

The key to cooking every menu and every meal to be delicious as desired is probably without a stove. Choosing a stove depends on many factors, such as the type of stove, which includes gas stoves, ceramic stoves, and induction stoves, as well as the size, which is usually 30 centimeters for a single or double burner, up to 60 centimeters for four burners. Therefore, it must be considered from the usage, whether we cook frequently each day or not, and what kind of stove is suitable for the kitchen space. For example, if choosing a gas stove, it will be more suitable for Thai-style cooking than an electric stove, but there must also be space to store a large gas tank. Let’s take a look at some good techniques for choosing a stove that is suitable for our kitchen.

1. Gas stove (GAS HOB)

Gas stoves are suitable for Asian cooking that emphasizes stir-frying, deep-frying, stewing, or various soups. It is necessary to have a function that can adjust the heat to be lower or stronger. Among the various types of cooking stoves, gas stoves are relatively cheap, durable, economical, and provide high energy. The considerations for choosing a gas stove are as follows:

  • Heating capacity: Most heat starts at 1,000 watts, suitable for those who want to simmer food for a long time. But if you want to cook food that requires a lot of power, such as boiling or stir-frying, you must choose a gas stove with high power. Currently, the maximum power per head that can heat is 5,000 watts, so you can cook all types of food.
  • Gas cut-off safety system is a system that automatically cuts off gas release when the flame on the burner goes out. There are many types, including safety valve systems, thermocouple safety systems, and safety cut-off systems. Users should choose to purchase a gas stove with an automatic gas cut-off system to ensure that residents and property will not be harmed by fires caused by the gas stove.
  • The most durable material used in production is stainless steel, but if you want something beautiful, we recommend glass or a ceramic stove base, which have the advantage of being easy to clean and quite heat resistant.
  • Burner heads Currently, the best burner head material is brass because brass is a good heat conductor, is heat resistant, has a long service life, and does not rust.

2. Induction hob

This type of stove has the advantage of being easy to maintain because the surface of the stove emits heat using electromagnetic power. It relies on the principle of magnetic induction between the induction stove and electrically inductive containers, such as some types of steel or stainless steel, to transmit heat directly to containers or equipment. However, if the container used does not have magnetic induction properties, it will not be able to generate heat, such as aluminum, glass, or ceramics. Another advantage of using an induction stove is that there will be no stains on the wall surface, unlike a gas stove.

3. Electric ceramic hob (CERAMIC HOB)

This type of stove is similar to an induction hob, but has different characteristics and working methods. An electric ceramic hob has a ceramic glass top, which has good heat resistance (about 600 ° C) and can withstand quite a lot of impact, but it is more expensive than an induction hob. The heating element inside is an electric coil, infrared lamp or halogen lamp. In addition, when using an electric ceramic hob, there will be a red color in the heated area, but an induction hob does not have a red color.

Things to consider before buying an electric stove

Before choosing a gas stove, induction hob or electric ceramic hob, users should consider the following points to help them make a decision:

  1. Consider standards, safety and quality. These can be found in award-winning manufacturers or by manufacturers that specialize in a particular appliance, giving you confidence in the quality and safety of the product. Also, look for safety certification marks on the product.
  2. The materials used in production must be strong and durable, made of good quality materials and heat resistant.
  3. The electric stove chosen for cooking should have a protection system against electric shock that may occur from the heater or other electrical leakages.
  4. The area of ​​the wire connector and the heater connector must be made of heat-resistant materials in particular to resist corrosion and prevent melting from prolonged exposure to heat, or should be treated with a rust prevention process to extend the service life and increase safety.
  5. Read the instructions, warnings, cautions, and notice any letters or symbols indicating the specified electrical power in watts, the specified voltage in volts, the manufacturer’s name, registered trademarks, and other important details completely before use to ensure maximum safety for the user.
