The result improvement was the dominant kitchen hearth ceramic hob, which gradually proved its operational reliability and comfort, along with an elegant contemporary look views. Effectively fit in different ensembles kitchen interior similar devices with a tempered glass surfaces having surprising properties.

classification of panels
Variety cooktops combined into groups of species specific indicators.
Type of control:
- sensitive panel integrated management scheme with oven;
- Independent views - local, installed on the selected surface, regardless of the other devices.
Location management areas:
- from the right edge of the panel;
- along the anterior frontal plane.
Management Principle:
- mechanical;
- sensory.
Types of burners:
- rapidnye have a spiral basis, which has an average rate of heating and cooling (10-12 sec.);
- halogen burners operate, thanks to the high-helix, which is connected to halogen lamp, causing a higher rate of heat reaching the maximum and when disconnecting - cooling (3-7 seconds).;
- rule induction heating across the surface, they are expensive and require special cookware with magnetized head;
- Hi-Lite burners are equipped with heating tape, making heating more efficient halogen counterparts.
Configuration layout of burners:
- square;
- round;
- rectangular;
- oval.
The power supply of panels:
- electricity;
- gas.
Electrical panels cost more to operate than gas, but they attract the lack of flames, which makes them safer. Resistance to heat, flexibility, strength, resistance to shock mechanical loads cause the broad scope of the tempered glass in the manufacture of the innovative cooking appliances. Such a surface is not inferior to the glass-ceramic in baseline characteristics, it is not heated, making the cooking process is safe and comfortable.
Features of the glass ceramic hob
The basis of the design of innovative cooking appliance based on the principle of using a reliable heat insulator in which acts as an asbestos base which fit into a helical tubular heater. The upper surface of the plate is executed in the new generation material - glass-ceramic.
Manufacturers in instructional recommendations necessarily indicate the weight that can withstand the panel. On average, the optimum load is taken about 5 kg, distributed on one burner. From this figure, one can easily calculate the total amount of the entire surface of the plate. Sensitive to shock resistant glass and ceramics, if it falls tableware 1.8 kg from a height of 15 cm. Some brands have a higher margin of safety.
The heating temperature is displayed on the panel plane when provided a touch control mode. It provides the function of "Express - burners" or rapid heating.
A practical value is a function of "automatic boiling" whose role is to reduce the heating after the forthcoming meal had reached the boiling point.
Secures emergency stop, allowing to switch off the stove. Virtually identical played by a timer, stopping the operation of the hotplate after a set time. Siemens, Bosch models are equipped with a block "write to memory" for fixing and fast playback repetitive actions.
Greater freedom in determining the location provided by independent glass-ceramic cooktops, which can be installed on the desktop or to equip the central island. Local oven in this case arise where the hostess will be convenient to work with him. Some firms - Ariston, Miele, Electrolux, provide different configurations of heating zones that allows you to use different utensils. For example, the optimal shape for the ceramic utyatnitsu be oval.
Modifications with auto focus heats exactly the contour of standing on the burner pans, significantly saving energy. Cookware is marked, which should pay attention and use the samples that are recommended for glass ceramic surfaces. Consumers consider the price of glass ceramic panels high, attracts affordable cost of similar products made of tempered glass undergone special treatment.
Advantages of the gas cooktop
What good is such a ceramic hob? Excellent quality decorative glass ceramic panel, wherein as heating elements gas burners are used in various models, in addition to their high efficiency led popularity. Additional models have the usual products with flame above the surface and effective options for the location of burners operating under the plane of the glass ceramic.
Convenient location in the right place objectively made independent gas cooktops favorites of modern kitchen interiors.
The key advantage is the low thermal conductivity of the glass ceramic in the distribution of heat flow on a vertical vector. This feature allows the entire plane around the heated portion to remain cold.
Gradually rise in a rating on the highest step of the gas panel in which to the upper plane is used tempered possessing high resistance to temperature extremes glass. It can only suffer from sharp precision strikes.
decorative possibilities
Due to the sale of glass-ceramic plates with a different number of burners, one can easily pick up a sample suitable by its dimensions to a particular kitchen facilities. A wide range of products, which includes both gas and electric panel design, yet can not please the variety of colors. Dominated by low-key, elegant colors - gray, black, brown.
The leader is an elegant white surface, although a more thorough search will attract attention in an unusual decision a starry sky or a sort of insight into the prehistoric era in the form of rock paintings, which offers Kaiser.
Different panel configuration allows rationally to fit them into the already established interior with a certain stylistic direction. Consumer features oval, rectangular, round, square, polygonal products, and the company Teka surprises interesting findings, releasing them in a fan shape and even horseshoes. The same manufacturer increased functionality innovative cooktops, making recess for pouring water, which after installation on top of the lattice, it vykladyvaniya products and closing the glass lid, is transformed into steamer.
Some subtleties of operation
Analyzing the feedback of experts and owners of modern cookers, it can be noted that one of the priority factors that attract them is that surface in the form of flat panels considerably facilitates operation and hygienic care, which can have certain features depending on material.
Glass-ceramic, which gives the elegant look of the home, regardless of what the panel is used - gas or electric, It affects resistance to many substances, but absolutely does not share her sugar that can cause irreversible harm. Wipe syrup, a drop of jam and other sugar-containing composition should be immediately.
It is not recommended to place on the plate, including having an upper surface made of tempered glass, cookware with rough, uneven bottom, and cracks and cavities of the long operation. You do not need to put any foreign objects from the panel as additional working space.
Effective gas panel may suddenly crack in contact with combustion burners place of cold water. The glass-ceramics can withstand a certain load regulations, so it is necessary to exclude the possibility premises on the burner pan with contents weighing more than five kilograms.
Picking up the dishes, it is advisable to abandon the aluminum products. The bottom of all utensils used should not be convex. Preference is given to an even lower plane, though permissible and concave variation.
Clean surface with no special effort using specialized compositions containing no abrasive fillers. You can use the agent recommended for washing kitchen utensils. As suitable melamine devices and special sponge scraper, generally the supplied and used in accordance with the instructional recommendations. Root hygiene is necessary after cooling panel, since the gas burner is capable of heat it sufficiently intense to even getting cold liquid droplets caused cracking. By removing contamination, the surface is wiped with a sponge soaked in pure water, and dried with a soft textile napkins, or towel.
Not to apply excessive force, it is advisable to look for the plane of the panel after each cooking session. This will not only facilitate the care, but also to extend the period of faultless operation is quite expensive and effective acquisition.
