Instruction
1. At first measure that place in kitchen where you are going to put electric stove. Only after that you will know on what dimensions of the device it is necessary to count. It is also quite good to think in advance and of color scheme of plate according to the general design of kitchen and also another, already available for you, technicians.
2. First of all define what type of cooking surface of electric stove is pleasant to you more. Their of everything two – simpler enameled (and also from stainless steel and special aluminum alloy) and glass-ceramic.
3. The relative low cost, durability, normal leaving and more usual design are considered as attractive characteristics of the enameled models. In such plates three types of rings are established: average power, express and automatic.
4. Rings of average power by the form remind "pancakes", express rings are marked red, and automatic – white spot in the center. Express rings differ in the big size and speed of warming up of food.
5. Automatic - contain the built-in relay which maintains the necessary temperature. I.e. after liquid boiling the ring dumps heating power, and water "will not escape". Such plates are also equipped with time relay, and you have opportunity to set duration of cooking of food. Negative line of the enameled models is long warming up and then cooling of rings. It extends preparation time of food.
6. Other type of surface of the cooking panel – glass-ceramic. In appearance this ideally equal tinted glass under which you will find rings of different types.
7. It can be normal rings of tape type on the asbestos basis. They are rather slowly heated and also not quickly cool down.
8. Halogen rings – the fastest. The heating coil in them allows to warm food instantly after inclusion. Also quickly heating stops.
9. And, at last, induction rings work by means of magnetic field which is created by the generator. It is warmed, and quickly, ware bottom, but if you touch the ring, then you will find out that it remains cold. Keep in mind that electric stoves with induction rings the most expensive and, besides, demand availability of special ware. You will be need only pans and frying pans which can be magnetized, i.e. made of cast iron and steel.

If you have decided to give preference to plate with glass-ceramic surface, take into account that she is afraid of heavy surgical strikes, heavy and long mechanical loads (glass!), scratches, dirt and sugar. If you do not wipe at once hot sugar drop, then already in a few minutes will find "sink" which already you will remove nothing on surface.
11. Besides, there are special requirements to ware. You will not be able to use pans with thin, convex or concave bottom. They should not consist of fusible materials (copper, aluminum and so forth), and have to coincide on diameter with diameter of ring. But if you once spend for expensive ware, then will not notice this problem.
