How to choose a gas stove with a gas oven: TOP 10 models with descriptions of characteristics and customer reviews

Brief information

Gas stoves appeared in the USSR in the 50s of the last century and quickly became popular.

As a rule, a gas stove has from 1 to 6 burners and an oven, although there are stoves without an oven. The stove body is usually made of stainless or alloy steel with an enamel coating.

The most popular among gas stoves are 2- and 4-burner stoves equipped with a gas oven.

Gorenje

Today, the products of the Slovenian company are known throughout Europe and sell well in Russia. Consumers fell in love with the manufacturer's gas stoves for their wide range, reliability and high quality. The company began in the 40s with the production of agricultural equipment, patented a thresher, and produced fruit presses that were in demand. In 1958, they began producing solid fuel stoves, and within three years the company entered the international market. Already at that time, the company understood that it was important to work not only on the functionality of the devices, but also on the design. The result was not long in coming. Today Gorenje is a world leader in the production of household appliances, exports products to 90 countries and introduces innovative technologies. The company’s wide range of models includes gas stoves in various designs: there are traditional models, and there are also retro-styled or high-tech ones . All devices are economical, many receive an electronic gas programmer , and more expensive devices even come with a screen. The hob is enameled or cast iron, most models have electric ignition. Models with a width of 40 and 60 cm are presented. The company's ovens are gas and electric. The assembly and workmanship of all products are excellent, but the prices cannot be called the lowest on the market.

Principle of operation

Cooking on such a stove is carried out over an open fire, the fuel for which is:

• or natural gas supplied through the city gas network;
• or liquefied gas from cylinders.

The heating level (flame strength) is adjusted manually using the rotary knobs on the front or top panel of the stove. You can light a fire either manually: with matches, lighters, open fire, etc., or using the electric ignition built into the stove (if available).

Since 2007, all Russian gas stoves have been required to have emergency flame extinction control, that is, if, for example, liquid is spilled on the fire, the gas supply to that burner will automatically turn off.

Electrolux gas stoves are relatively inexpensive, available in white and metallic colors, in compact and full sizes. Many models have the PlusSteam steam function, which makes baked goods more fluffy and fragrant. In addition, this function makes it convenient to carry out pasteurization and preservation, dry vegetables and bake meat. Ovens in gas stoves receive easy-to-clean enamel. All stoves have a gas control system, and the most advanced stoves have the ability to program the cooking process, which is rare for gas stoves. Almost all stoves have a removable oven door, which makes cleaning the product much easier. Moreover, even the glass from the door is easy to remove, so the oven can be kept perfectly clean.
