Town gas vs LP gas


When buying gas cooking hobs, we should at first consider the selection of coal gas cooking hobs or oil gas cooking hobs, which depends on the gas provided by the residence. Two kinds of gas cannot be compatible, because the supply pressure of oil gas is larger than that of coal gas. Thus oil gas cannot be used in coal gas cooking hobs and vice versa. More than 80% of residences use coal gas.

In the market, there are more types of coal gas hobs. While for bench-type gas hobs, coal gas hobs and oil gas hobs are basically of the same proportion (about 40 types). And many cooking hob manufacturers will actually provide coal gas version and oil gas version actually with no great differences in using, so that you can choose a proper version freely according to the gas provided by the residence.

 

Burners


The burner should be considered above all when buying cooking hobs. The burner of a cooking hob is not all the same, usually covering different firepower to cope with different cooking needs. The number and the layout of burners are different for different types of gas cooking hob.

 

The number of burners varies from one to five in maximum, among which the double–burner type is the most common. More burners can bring greater flexibility, allowing more food being cooked at the same time, which greatly facilitates the preparation of dinners in New Year as well as various parties.

 

Some burners have internal ring fire external ring fire or even tricyclic fire, so the burner firepower can be respectively adjusted according to cooking needs. For example, firepower of small - size burner is relatively weak, but very energy – saving and convenient for slowly stewing or heating food. During frying and boiling food strongly in the wok, the maximum burner firepower can reach 5kw for volatilizing wok gas. However, the larger firepower is, the larger cooking fume is, so a suitable range hood can be equipped with. For example, the combination of the cooking hob and the range hood is regularly sold in BBE, which can also ensure larger privilege and better cooperation.

 

 

Stove shelf

 

Unlike the induction cooker, the gas cooking hob is equipped with the hob shelf that is removable, easy to clean and multi – type to support the cooker. The high - quality cast iron shelf is expensive, but easy to clean and durable, which should not be put in the dishwasher or the dishwasher could probably get rusty. And the manufacturers will sell these shelves separately.

A more economical cooking hob may be equipped with enamel hob shelves that seems nearly same as cast iron shelves. But as the enamel coating bears too much heat in use, the enamel will become brittle and fragile with the passage of time.

 

 

Safety of gas hob


Some people may be cautious about cooking on open fire. Such anxiety can be greatly reduced by a variety of security technologies, along with active development of manufacturers and technological progress.

 

Flameout safety devices

Most gas cooking hobs are equipped with flameout safety devices that can cut off the gas supply when flameout, to prevent gas from entering the burner and avoid gas leakage. When water overflows out of the wok or wind suddenly appears, the gas will stop flowing to the burner, getting rid of any security risk. This device also prevents gas leakage resulting from accidental opening of cooking hobs by children or others.

 

Automatic ignition device

Some gas cooking hobs have an automatic ignition device to automatically ignite the gas cooking hob when you turn the rotation button. Other gas cooking hobs have a power-supply or battery-powered ignition device to ignite the gas cooking hob by clicking the button.

 

Power control


Gas is a relatively controllable heating power source that does not have to be limited by a specific temperature interval. And the traditional round rotation button or touch button could be choose to control the firepower.

 

Rotation button

The traditional rotation button is easy to use and master. You need to press the button for one second to ignite the gas cooking hob, and then simply turn the knob to adjust the size of the flame, which can protects you from accidentally touching the button and open the gas cooking hob, like the traditional lash hob.

 

Touch switch

If you prefer new technology, you can choose the touch button. It is more complicated for you to use the touchpad for the first time, but you will find their advantages once you master the using method. Firstly, the touch design makes the entire hob surface simple, smooth and easy to clean, unlike the rotation button with gaps difficult to reach. Secondly, the child safety lock mode can ensure the use of security. The touch button is more common in the induction cooker, but occasionally embedded in the glass of a few glass–panel gas cooking hobs.

 

Position of switch

The switch is often placed in two positions of gas cooking hobs: the front or side of the burner. You had better choose gas cooking hobs with a switch in the side of the burner if your child can touch the switch in the front of the burner, so that the child will not possibly reach it.

 

 

Cooking hob material

Last but not least, appearance design and materials of cooking hob should be noted, which should be choose according to the overall design of the kitchen cabinet.

 

Stainless steel

Stainless steel material is of the industrial style, and drawing stainless steel material will produce a more gentle matte effect, both with wear-resistant features and fashionable appearances, which can be matched with electrical appliances with other metal surfaces.

 

Reinforced glass

Reinforced glass is easy to clean, with a smooth surface and a stylish appearance, on which the spillage is easily wiped as the food is difficult to stick to the glass. Some of the more advanced models are equipped with frameless glass that can be perfectly embedded in your kitchen cabinets, which is conductive to rinsing the entire surface. So, this design will be the most simple and beautiful.

Enamel cooking hobs will be more retro in the design, and economical entry-level models and retro models are common. If you do not like glass or stainless steel, white, cream or black enamel will be the best choices.
