Small portable electric cooker

electrical cookers It allows you to quickly cook a delicious dinner, even if the house is no mains gas. And their mini variations also help out in the country, in conditions of temporary housing and permanent crossings. For small enough elektropechki usual outlets on 220 V - no need to even pull a separate cable from the panel. So weak wiring in this case does not become an obstacle on the path to purchase. The rest of the unit work will depend on how successful was the selection, and for what purpose you need a mini-stove.

basic design

If you do not take into account the small size of mini-technology, it is possible to apply the same classification as that of the other electric furnaces. That is, they may go to a single housing with an oven or be a cooking surface (dependent or nezavismoy). Accordingly, the compact equipment is divided into freestanding or embedded. The range of many manufacturers can find laptop or desktop boards that, in principle, the same thing.

But the main difference between electric models - the type used by the burners. They determine the usability of the furnace, its durability and functionality. According to this principle, and divide the wide range of kitchen appliances market to determine the choice of compact assistant.

Model with cast iron burners

This is the budget version of the electric mini-plates, which can be cheaper only spiral stove. However, by this technique have to fit in as cast iron burners, pancakes too long to heat up and spend a lot of energy. To save a little bit, you can turn off the meal a little earlier and leave it on the stove - such cool oven too slowly, and the products will have time to walk in the pan. But it is necessary to guess the right moment, otherwise the food will be undercooked.

However, not all that bad, and cheap mini-slabs with cast-iron burners have a number of indisputable advantages, in addition to low prices:

• High strength. In contrast to the glass-ceramics, mechanical loads, shocks and drop cast iron plates electrically transferred more firmly.
• Simplicity of maintenance. Wash this stove is only a matter of cleanliness and does not affect the battery life.
• Versatility. On Ovens pancakes you can use any cookware, which in principle is suitable for cooking. Flat bottom or availability of special discs optionally pot.

In the selection of plates to be guided only by the number of burners, additional functions (which are good) as well as power consumption. Everything else depends on the characteristics of the built-in heater. By the way, before buying a particular model check the availability of the service centers in your area and the heating elements for vending plates. If they burn up, you should be able to replace electrical components defective.

Hephaestus PNS-420

Belarus reading mini cooker with two rings of different diameters and, respectively, the power (1 kW and 1.2). Good because it has a small oven of 18 liters, and highly functional for such crumbs:

• The presence of upper and lower heating at 600 and 400 watts, with a smooth power control.
• The "Grill", plus an additional grating to obtain the desired banding products.
• Timer and Auto Power Off mode.

Electric oven door flap that when the projecting handle can sometimes create problems. But if you put a mini-plate a little closer to the edge of the table, this issue can be easily solved. Is controlled by the three rotary knobs on the front panel. In general, Hephaestus looks very similar to the traditional microwave only with cast iron rings at the top. Price - about 8 thousand. rubles.

infrared

This plate, which heating elements (helical or tape) are hidden under the glass ceramic surface. Burners with a circular conductor are heated for about 10 seconds flat - twice as fast, so do not have to wait long. As for the characteristics of choice, in the case of mini-ovens had better pay attention to the model, where the heating zone can be increased or decreased depending on the size of the dishes.

Plates with rapidnymi burners are the most inexpensive among the glass-ceramic models, so that low power heating zones (typically 1 kW), it is quite possible to reconcile. Such electric stove have fairly simple principle. In fact, the heating elements are filament, in the light bulb Ilyich, not only tungsten and nickel-chromium. The flowing current is relatively weak glow of the metal spiral - the rest of the energy goes into heat radiation.

Ricci Ric-3106

China infrared mini-stove with one burner protected by tempered glass. The model is very simple - on the body are derived only mechanical control and indicator light. Power consumption 1.2 kW, the diameter of 180 mm heating zone. Protection is only available from overheating, but from the oven and wait for more is not necessary for 2000 rubles. The invention relates to a desktop, so the bottom of the housing has a non-slip feet. Total weight portable stove - 2 kg. Heating element type Hi-Light, i.e. twisted spiral of thin metal tape.

halogen

Plates with such burners rather "greedy", so they are best used for cooking, do not involve long-extinguishing. Although the high power heating elements (about 2 kW) allows faster boil a large volume of water, so that power consumption is grown plate and a positive side. Heating same hotplate and output it to the maximum power is achieved in a second, it is a pity, for sale such furnaces are rare. But the mini-models on store shelves missing.

Vitesse VS-515

Electric cooker with touch controls decent and embodied in a set of cooking programs memory (8). Functional for this type of furnace a bit unusual - the effect of French origin. An important element in VS-515 halogen hob is a cooling fan, which ensures the normal body temperature of the plate as a radiating element is quite it heats. Run cooler creates a not too pleasant background sound, but can not do without it.

Touch keys on the top panel also respond to a touch signal. Entangled in them is difficult - each icon is signed in Russian. Stove quite clever: it recognizes the dishes on the surface of the hotplate (optional purebred "French women") has the function of delayed start up to 24 hours, a good set of protections to thermal shutdown, and team timer. To protect hosts from accidental touch to the not yet cooled surface plate design provides light indication residual heating burners. Model weight of 2 kg, the cost 2500-3700 rubles.

induction

Modern mini-boards are more efficient and economical, but they are more demanding to maintain. Blame - ceramic surface, which are hidden under the hotplate. It may break from impact fallen object has entered the spoil from the hot plate syrup. Also, the glass panel is not recommended to be cleaned with abrasive agents, however, it is very easy to clean, and the need for such stringent measures arises.

Induction mini-plate work on the same principle as that of their full-size counterparts, that is, the burners do not heat themselves, and increase the temperature set on top of the pan or pans. And that physics worked well at the bottom of such dishes must be perfectly flat and with a high content of ferrite. Today the assortment of portable induction cooker big enough, there is even a special model with a recess for a wok, but the lion's share of the market are odnokonforochnye devices.

Midea RHY 2112

A flat-plate mini less than 5 cm in height has only one induction hotplate maximum power of 2.1 kW. The rest of the device is occupied by clear and even signed in Russian icons functional touchpad. Control the operation of this stove is convenient enough. Active symbols highlighted in red, so you can always determine what is currently busy your Midea.

Little table cooker has enough features. The integrated memory 8 different programs, is a function of the booster (rapid heating) and a long heating dishes. burner mode is adjustable between +60 to +240 ° C in increments of 20 degrees. Also, you can put an electric stove pause, without removing it from the bowl or install timer time off. In the case of unforeseen overheating oven de-energize the burner itself. Another level of protection - a "lock" on the children and the notification sound bad on the surface of the dishes. Plate weight - about 1.4 kg, the price ranges from 3200-4400 rubles.
