I've always wanted to write a literacy post, and I'm sorry for the severe procrastination. I hope this guide can help you solve some questions, such as "What's the difference between embedded and desktop?" And "What kind of gas is there?" Cake convenience store will introduce some basic knowledge and terms necessary for choosing gas stoves in a simple way.
First, before choosing a gas stove-various types of gas stoves
There are three kinds of gas stoves-desktop, embedded and cassette.
Household gas stoves can be roughly divided into three types: desktop placed on the table, embedded and cassette stoves embedded in the table.
Unless the cabinets are rebuilt, the three types cannot be used interchangeably. Therefore, before you design the cabinet, you need to consider the type of gas stove. (Many friends will say, whatever! Blame me for not giving a comprehensive recommendation, but I'm really wronged. . . )
1. Desktop: placed on the cabinet countertop (suitable for old house renovation, etc.)
This type can be placed on the table or dug into a "concave" shape to make a false embedding. In China, we can consider inserting the hose directly into the back of the machine. Generally, you can connect by yourself according to the instructions.
2. Embedded: embedded in the table (this kind is similar to most of China)
Embedded system has better integrity and gives people a sense of unity. After installation, connect the gas pipeline.
3. Cartridge oven (portable and can be used outdoors and on the dining table)
Generally, all major shopping websites in China can handle the oven, so I don't need to introduce it much. I have to buy it from Japan.
Second, how to choose a gas stove
(a) check the type of gas used
Before choosing to use gas products, it is necessary to check the domestic gas type, which must be compatible with the domestic gas type.
Generally speaking, Japanese gas is divided into two types: natural gas with methane as the main component is "city gas" and "LP gas" with propane as the main component, corresponding to pipelines and gas cylinders respectively.
1. The following is Japanese natural gas.
2. The following is Japanese liquefied gas.
3. The following is for the cassette furnace.
(2) Select the size of the gas stove according to the width of the installation space.
1. The size of desktop and embedded gas stoves is generally two widths. Pay special attention to the desktop. If the cooker you install is much smaller than the reserved space, a large gap will be formed between the cooktops, and debris such as dust and residue will easily fall off, which will make maintenance troublesome. To reduce the gap, please try to choose a product suitable for the installation space.
2. Desktop and embedded gas stoves, two width modes are the mainstream.
The width of desktop is generally 56 cm and 59 cm, and the hole spacing is generally about 30-35cm.
The embedded width is generally 60 cm wide and 75cm wide, and the hole spacing is generally about 30-35cm, of which the hole spacing of 75 cm is generally the largest.
(3) Desktop and embedded gas stoves need to know the location of strong firepower.
Usually, desktops are divided into Zuo Qiang fire or right strong fire. The last "R" of the machine model is the right big fire, and the last "L" is the left big fire. This mainly depends on habits and safety considerations for actual decoration. This is also to prevent fire and wall damage caused by large firepower, please be sure to consider it in advance.
It is particularly important to note that the current embedded system almost does not need to distinguish between left and right strong firepower, and almost all of them are bilateral strong firepower.
(4) determine the number of gas holes
Single hole, suitable for kitchens with small space, both desktop and embedded.
2-hole and 2-hole gas stoves are mainly desktop, and embedded two holes are rare.
3 holes, almost all embedded.
(5) About the panel materials of gas stoves
The appearance, function and price of the panel of gas stove vary with the material. Basically, materials that are easy to clean are used, but each material has different characteristics. Glass is the highest and enamel is the cheapest.
1. Glass countertops have good durability, but the price is also expensive.
Generally made of tempered glass, the top plate has heat resistance, and the most important thing is easy maintenance. Transparent and shiny appearance is very luxurious, once used by high-end machines, and has changed recently.
2. Enamel, cheap and durable
Compared with the old model a few years ago, it is scratch-resistant and thick, but it is not so easy to clean compared with the glass.
(6) Grill type
1. The difference between double-sided baking and single-sided baking
Double-sided roasting can start not only from the top, but also from the bottom, so you don't have to turn it over manually when, for example, grilled fish. If you can, try to choose two sides, which is more convenient.
2. There is a difference between water and waterless.
The oven with water has been eliminated, and it is difficult to maintain, and it is almost impossible to see. Therefore, skip this directly and choose anhydrous.
3. Type of baking tray
If there is a baking tray, it will be more conducive to cleaning, and baking calculation is a good tool. It's just that some machines support many kinds, while others support few kinds.
Third, the classic function and safety performance
Cut in line, almost all safety functions are realized by si sensors.
(A) the classic function
1. Stove timing function
Turn off the stove automatically after you set the time. You can cook conveniently without a kitchen timer, which will be very convenient. Recommended for guests who usually need a kitchen timer.
Step 2 stir-fry at high temperature
This function can unlock the first safe temperature and go straight to the high temperature. Suitable for guests who need to stir-fry This function is standard at present (2020).
3. Automatic cooking
This function can find a metal pot at will, and cook automatically at any key. After putting the ratio of rice to water, a pot of rice is usually cooked in 30 minutes.
4. Automatic water boiling function
When the water boils, the machine will inform you. Some machines can keep warm for five minutes, which is very safe. It is very convenient for people who make tea or coffee every time.
5. Automatic barbecue menu
By setting the baking degree in the menu, you can cook fillets and other types of fish beautifully. It can prevent mistakes such as forgetting to close or over-baking. If you cook multiple dishes at the same time, then the menu is a good helper.
6. Compatible with Dutch ovens
Can be compatible with the function of multiple baking trays, which is possible on a few machines.
7. Oven timing function
When baking pizza or roast beef, you can set the operation time to prevent mistakes.
8. Ignition in medium fire
This function will also generate moderate heat when it is ignited, and there will be no sudden fire, so you don't have to worry about accidental burns.
(2) Check the safety performance
1. Forgot to turn off the fire.
After a certain period of time after ignition, this function can automatically extinguish the fire of the stove head or oven, which can prevent forgetting to turn off the fire. For some products, you can also set the automatic fire extinguishing time at will.
2. No pot detection
This function will only ignite when there is a pot on the stove.
3. Earthquake flameout
In case of earthquake, this function can automatically turn off the fire.
4. Child lock
It is a device for locking the ignition button, which will not ignite even if a child touches it carelessly or operates it because of mischief.
Four, the main manufacturers of gas stoves
Linnei, Paramount, Energy Rate, Haman
In fact, in the daily brand, each brand will have the same level of products, but not all products are worthy of attention. I will explain this in the next article.
