A well-made dish and served on the festive table, this is a real holiday. Everyone likes to eat tasty food and often. Mistresses like it when they cooked, they eat with appetite and then they say many thanks. And for this, a whole kitchen cabinet with a workplace and its special equipment is organized in the kitchen. As part of such equipment, a hob is installed. The technique is different, it differs in the type of work and functionality. Hobs are made of different materials and we will consider which surface is better, enameled, stainless or glass.
Characteristics of an enameled surface (pros, cons, description)
Enameled surfaces used in the manufacture of kitchen appliances are more common in gas stoves. They are practically not used in electrical design, only in outdated inexpensive models where heating pancakes are used. Most of these models are found among gas household kitchen appliances. Their execution offers a huge selection of colors and shapes.
They have a low price, with the same functional characteristics, as well as good resistance to high temperatures.
During operation, it will be necessary to provide gentle care for such coatings, as this is a rather fragile material. If a heavy object, such as a pan, falls, chips will inevitably appear.
You can highlight good quality - this is practicality in use, traces remaining from fine dirt and fingerprints are not visible on the panel.
As a result, we get:
+ A wide selection of colors and patterns, practicality in application and use, low cost.
- The fragility of the coating, and to be honest it's already old-fashioned.
Glass ceramic characteristics
Glass-ceramic hob, this is quite new and modern in the field of household kitchen appliances. It is most widely and universally used in the production of all types of electric stoves, having established itself as a simple and unpretentious material in the preparation of products.
The cost is higher, but in cooking, convenience compensates for the increased price. Completely smooth, instantly heating and cooling, it has a modern appearance. But strait, something needs to be removed immediately from the surface, otherwise cleaning will be difficult. And do not try to drop something on her, she does not like it. Glass ceramics are quite fragile to heavy and very sharp objects. Until now, manufacturers are working to enhance this quality, selecting and applying various solutions, making the design better. Huge selection of color offers and gamma patterns. It is even impossible to imagine how many of them are and this makes her the most attractive.
Eventually:
+ Modern stylish look, completely smooth surface, quickly heats up and cools down;
- Not strong, under certain conditions, difficult to clean, not the lowest price.
Stainless steel hob
This type of surface is used exclusively in gas type panels. In addition, it is distinguished by its economy and practicality. Easily freed from stains of fat, pieces of burnt food. Many stainless steel surface care products are low cost and highly effective. Also, stainless steel is resistant to mechanical damage except when exposed to abrasive materials and means.
The disadvantages include a simple and not very stylish appearance.
Strained glass
Tempered glass, a new trend in household kitchen appliances, based on efficiency and functionality. It is mainly used in gas stoves. This coating replaced glass ceramics. Although in their main parameters, glass ceramics and tempered glass are very similar to each other, but there are still differences. Resistance to sudden changes in temperature, breaking into small, non-sharp pieces when damaged, is not subject to minor scratches, does not form chips when sharp objects fall, it is easy to clean during cleaning, relatively low cost.
There is a drawback - this is the fragility of the product along the edges.
We get:
+ Not a high price, lower on a glass-ceramic surface, temperature, safety, scratch resistance.
- Fragility at the edges; the model look is organic, it is not used on all plates.
Conclusion, what to choose and why
In conclusion, we can conclude that all the options mentioned have a right to life. Each has its pros and cons. Therefore, the main selection criteria are price and functionality, and each housewife has their own. When ordering a kitchen, it’s already clear in advance what is needed and how it will look. You can only choose according to your taste and preference.
