The importance of the gas stove, as the "soul" of the kitchen, is self-evident.
But the purchase of this gas stove is really not a simple matter. I've suffered losses in this regard, and I spent money not to mention, but I was still troubled.
The list of high-quality authors only learned later,It turns out that there are so many doorways to buy gas stovesNext, I will use my experience of changing three gas stoves to tell you about the "8 points" of gas stove purchase, so that you will no longer spend money in vain.
1. Panel material
The material of the panel of a gas hob has a crucial impact on its durability and aesthetics.
Generally speaking, there are three main types of panel materials for gas stoves:Ceramic, tempered glass, stainless steel.
Ceramic panels: resistant to high temperatures, abrasion, easy to clean, and will not deform. But it's also relatively high.
Tempered glass panel: easy to clean, wear-resistant, not easy to deform, but poor impact resistance.
Stainless steel panel: not easy to deform, not easy to break, but easy to conduct heat, and the appearance is average.
All three of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, but overall,Ceramic panels are the most recommended, stainless steel panels are the least recommended.
2. Fire and thermal efficiency
Thermal power and thermal efficiency are the two key numerical indicators to consider the performance of gas stoves.
In general, home cooking should choose the heat in 45kw-5kw gas stove, too big or too small may affect the cooking effect.
At the same time, the higher the thermal efficiency, the better the energy efficiency of the gas stove.
More than 63% of the thermal efficiency can meet the needs of the vast majority of families, too low thermal efficiency not only exhaust gas, but also the cooked meals have no "pot gas".
3. Energy efficiency level
In terms of energy efficiency class, gas stoves with first-class energy efficiency are of course preferred.
Because the first-level energy efficiency is the most energy-saving and gas-saving, while the second-level and first-class energy efficiency are relatively energy-consuming.
Of course, you can also choose the right energy efficiency level according to your needs.
4. Frame type
The guard frame is an important part of the gas stove, don't underestimate this guard frame, it is the "firewall" to protect the gas stove.
When purchasing, try to choose a shaped ring protection frame, rather than an ordinary guard frame.
Because the fire of the ordinary guard frame is not concentrated, it is easy to cause uneven heating at the bottom of the pot, while the shaped ring guard can prevent wind and prevent flames from running wildly.
5. Fire cover material
The fire cover must be chosen carefully, because the fire cover is in direct contact with the flame.
Generally speaking, there are three materials for fire covers:Copper, stainless steel, iron.
Needless to sayCopper is the best, resistant to high temperatures, not easy to deform and rust；The iron is easy to rust, causing the stomata to be blocked, affecting the release of heat energy from the flame.
6. Ignition method
At present, the common ignition methods on the market are:Pulse ignition, piezoelectric ceramic ignitionBoth.
When purchasing, it is recommended to choose the pulse ignition method, which has the advantages of fast ignition speed and high safety, and is an ideal ignition method.
However, the success rate of piezoelectric ceramics ignition is relatively low, and some need to be lit several times to ignite, and the service life is short, and it is easy to fail.
7. Air inlet mode
The air intake mode has an important impact on the combustion efficiency and energy efficiency of the gas stove.
At present, the common air intake methods on the market are:Upper air intake, lower air intake, full air intakeThree kinds.
In terms of effect, of course, the full air intake method is the best, because it integrates the upper air inlet and lower air intake, which can make the gas combustion more sufficient, not only save gas, but also reduce the release of harmful gases.
8. Protection function
Don't underestimate these protective features, they are the "security guards" of your home.
When purchasing a gas stove, pay attention to whether it has safety protection functions such as overheating protection, flameout protection, and child lock protection.
These features can effectively keep family members safe in the event of an accident.
Having said all this, in short, you have to pick a gas stove well, don't try to be cheap for a while. These "8 points" must be kept in mind, so as not to spend money and make trouble.
