How to choose electric cooking surface

Electric cooking surfaces differ in the safety since in them there is no naked flame. At their use, oxygen is not burned. It is much simpler to keep surface without speakers of elements clean. For electric cooking surfaces you use ware with equal, thick bottom.

Instruction

1. Choose type of installation of cooking surface. It is possible to place over oven or separately from it. If you choose the first traditional option of placement, then it is possible to stop on dependent cooking surface. The oven approaches it according to special tables. At such placement the control panel the general also is on oven, and on cooking surface there are no control elements. If you place cooking surface and oven separately, then you need independent surface with the control panel.

2. Define how many rings you want. At independent type of installation the possibility of the choice of type of rings and their quantity appears. The choice depends on your preferences and dimensions of kitchen. Options of rings of oval form, for dishes of Asian cuisine of WOK, the built-in grill are possible.

3. Choose from what material you want heating coils: stainless steel, glass ceramics, enamel, tempered glass, cast iron. But generally electric cooking surfaces are provided from cast iron or glass ceramics. Pig-iron cooking surfaces, look as traditional rings with shortcomings known to all – slowly heats up (about 1 minute) and slowly cools down.

4. Get acquainted with wide choice of heating coils of glass-ceramic surfaces: - slow motion rings – the spiral which is quickly heating up until red (up to 12 sec.) giving very high temperature; - halogen rings – here the halogen lamp shining with bright red light and generating large amount of heat is added to spiral; - Ring HI Light – the tape elements which are warmed several seconds quicker halogen; - induction rings – the installed induction block heats directly ware bottom, at the same time the ring remains cold. For use of this kind of heating coils the special ware from ferriferous steel or cast iron is necessary. Unfortunately, glass-ceramic surfaces have number of minuses. Absolutely plain surface from glass ceramics is not afraid of heavy ware, but can not endure pointed falling of knife. Also this type of panels is afraid of solid loose substances (grain, salt, especially sugar). At hit of crumbs under ware inevitably there will be scratches, and the thawed sugar already will be washed nothing.
