Induction cooktops

Stoves are a central component of any kitchen, indispensable for cooking in your own home. They allow you to cook anything from soups and stews to vegetables and fried treats. Stoves come in different sizes, capacities and types and use different fuel sources.

Stoves & Hobs sizes

Stoves come in various sizes:

• 30 - 40cm wide: This size is most suitable for small kitchens

• 60cm wide: The most common size, suitable for a typical kitchen and household

• 70 – 90cm wide: These oversized stoves are most suitable for big families and people that intend to cook a lot

Types of Stoves

Stoves come in various types:

• Gas stoves: Require a gas connection, but are very versatile in cooking and offer lots of temperature control

• Electric ceramic stoves: These ceramic stoves heat up quickly, but they’re not the most efficient and stay hot for a long time after turning them off

• Induction stoves: Only heat up the pots and pans, not the surface itself, so they’re safer for children. They’re also more efficient, but need specific cookware

Stove capacity

Stoves come with varying numbers of cooking zones, and buyers should keep in mind their household size:

• 2 cooking zones: 1-2 people in the household

• 3-4 cooking zones: 3-4 people in the household

• 5 cooking zones: 5+ people in the household

Stove fuel types

Stoves can use two different types of fuel to power your cooking, and they both have pros and cons.

Gas stoves heat up very fast and offer detailed control, but they also cool off quickly. However, many people feel uncomfortable with using gas and open flames.

Electric stoves, be they ceramic or induction stoves, use electricity to heat up the food. They’re what most people are familiar with and are relatively easy to use.

Stove features

Many modern stoves let you combine cooking zones and offer enhanced security both in electric and gas cooking by automatically turning off before any danger occurs.
