Range cookers are becoming less popular at our homes nowadays. They are quite often replaced by built-in cooking hobs. The ovens come separated from the hob and can be located at any height and at any place. The range cookers are becoming less useful and we are not more satisfied with their functions. But, if you decide to buy a built-in cooking hob you should pay close attention to some important parameters. The most popular one is still the gas hob.
The most important things to consider when choosing your gas hob
If you have already decided that you want to have a built-in gas hob in your kitchen you have to think about the factors you should pay special attention to before you purchase the gas hob. Cooking with gas is for many of us still the best alternative, although according to surveys the cooking with gas is the least energy efficient solution. If you want to choose the best available gas hob you should ask yourself how many burners you would like to have. The gas hobs come equipped with two, three or as many as five burners. That is why you have to take into account how much time you spend in the kitchen and how much place you have on your worktop. And maybe your family members stick to various diets and have to prepare at the same time three different meals? If you use large pots or pans, i.e. roasting pans, the best option will be if you choose the gas hob with an elliptic burner or turbo burner which is installed for example in the model Kernau KGH 7511 TCI X. It enables the cooktop to reach high temperature within short period of time. Thanks to that the cooking time of your everyday meals is as short as possible. The burners installed in the gas hobs are often equipped with special support frames which allow you for comfortable cooking in cookware with round bottom. This should also be taken into account by you. Before buying the cooking appliance you should also consider which pan support you would like to have installed. Available on the market are steel and cast iron pan supports. The second one is distinguished by its high durability and is easy to clean.
The important and practical functions of the gas hob
Which built-in gas hob will be the best? The one which will be easy to operate. If you have already decided which size and how many burners your appliance should have and that it should be equipped with automatic ignition, the time has come to choose the latest model which will be easy to use and equipped with key functions. The advantage of the gas hob is its economy. The natural gas is relatively cheap to use, that is why the cooking of meals with gas is not expensive in comparison to for example electric hob. Its supply can be cut off immediately by using the gas shutoff valve. What is more, the gas hob can also do it. This function is available for many models of gas hobs. As soon as the food boils over onto the burner or if the hob will be accidentally turned on by your children, the appliance itself cuts off the gas supply. This technical solution will prevent the gas leak and the danger of explosion. Your gas hob should be also equipped with built-in automatic ignition so that you will not have to buy the matches or lighters. This will also help you avoid possible burns. It is perfect if the automatic ignition is integrated with the burners which means that if you turn on only one of them the ignition system will be activated immediately. All who still haven’t made the decision yet which built-in gas hob they should buy, should choose the appliance with the control system on the front-side. In this case the gas hob comes equipped with side or bottom controls which are more comfortable to use. You will not have to bow in order to turn the appliance on. The above described functions and facilities are installed in many models of the gas hobs manufactured by Kernau, i.e. KERNAU KGH 6421 TCI-X. The automatic ignition system, front mounted controls, gas leak protection system, cast iron pan supports and turbo burner are only some of the useful features of our gas hobs. The cooking with these appliances is easy and pleasant.
The modern design of gas hobs
The only thing which could discourage you from buying the gas hob is its design and not enough models to choose from. But nowadays, there are so many different types of these appliances on the market that you do not have to worry anymore about the design of the gas hob. This appliance looks as elegant as the electric or even induction hob. Its surface is beautiful and shiny and you can look in it like in the mirror. Even the protruding gas burners are not as high and large as before. In a word, if you decide to buy the built-in gas hob, you can get very elegant appliance. The perfect example is here the model KERNAU KGH 6461 B. Its plate under the burners is made of black ceramic glass. Which type of gas hob you choose depends only on your individual preferences and taste. There are so many household appliances on the market that you won’t have any problems finding the best built-in gas hob.
