And we have gas in our apartment: TOP-5 gas stoves

Greta has long had a hand in the production of gas stoves. Its products are famous for their affordable cost and ease of handling, and this applies to both the cooking process and the care of the elements of the stove.

The model with the index 1470-00-06 looks most impressive in the burgundy colour of the case, which gives the gas stove a modern appearance. The modification in classic white colour does not stand out among peers. The reduced width of the gas stove (50 cm) clearly hints at the orientation of the model for installation in cramped conditions, i.e. in small kitchens.

Despite the extremely affordable cost, it was possible to include electric ignition of the burners and oven lighting in the equipment of the stove. That's just the ignition of gas burners with a button does not always work the first time. A variation of the model with the index 1470-00-06A is additionally equipped with a gas control system of the oven.

A set of burners on the working surface of the stove is standard for models of this kind: two standard-sized burners are complemented by a high-power burner (2.25 kW), which serves for intensive heating, and one auxiliary burner with a capacity of 1 kW. The same can be said about the built-in oven with a volume of 54 liters, the temperature in which rises to a maximum value of 270 °C.

Behind the folding door at the bottom of the gas stove there is a roomy compartment for storing dishes — a particularly useful thing in conditions of lack of free space in the kitchen. In general, Greta 1470-00-06 is the choice for those who want to get a reliable and unpretentious assistant in cooking for little money. After all, it is almost impossible to find a more affordable option with similar characteristics.

A full-size gas stove with a Belarusian pedigree occupies a position head and shoulders above its closest competitors in the price/quality ratio.

Even large pots and pans can be easily placed on the cooking surface of the model, so there will not be a lack of free space on the stove during cooking. Medium and large diameter burners are located closer to the cook, and medium and small burners are located in the distance. All of them are covered with massive and reliable cast-iron grilles. For the smallest burner, the delivery package of the stove provides an additional removable grate on which small dishes can be placed (for example, a turk for making coffee).

The volume of the oven built into the stove is 52 liters. It can maintain a temperature in the range from 150 to 270 °C. The oven is armed with a gas-control system that prevents gas leakage when the flame of the gas burner fades. In addition to the traditional cooking of baked products and pastries, the oven supports the grill mode, which allows you to get dishes with a ruddy crispy crust.

In the lowest part of the stove there was a place for a drawer in which it is convenient to store kitchen utensils. It is much more convenient to use it than the usual hinged lid installed in most similar models. For ease of handling in the arsenal of the stove there is also an electric ignition of burners and ovens. In the case of an oven, there is a possibility of failure of the automatic ignition system, which is not so rare. But at the same time, the overall performance of the stove does not deteriorate and it continues to fulfill its obligations to cook properly.

In the decoration of the stove from the subsidiary brand of the Swedish concern Electrolux, there is everything necessary to make the cooking process as comfortable as possible.

To begin with, from the row of rotary switches on the front panel of the gas stove, two mechanical regulators stand out closer to the right edge. The first of them acts as a timer (from 0 to 60 minutes), and the second switch has the functions of selecting the temperature inside the oven and activating the special Pizza mode, which allows you to cook one of the signature dishes of Italian cuisine with a crispy golden crust without unnecessary intervention.

The advantages of the built-in oven are complemented by a spit, which is combined with the grill function, and the presence of a gas-control security system. In addition, the oven is easy to clean from dirt. Moreover, not only its internal walls, but also the glass on the door — for more effective cleaning, it is made in an easy-to-assemble format.

The largest burner of the model (100 cm in diameter) contains a power of about 3 kW. It is located on the left side of the work surface, as well as a low-power 1 kW burner. Both cooking zones on the right side give out a maximum gorenje power of 2 kW each. The flame on each of the burners is ignited using an electric ignition system.

In the dry balance, the Zanussi ZCG 961218 can be called an optimally balanced solution of a full-format form factor (with a body width of 60 cm). It successfully combines price, quality, reliability and functionality — the key parameters that the consumer pays attention to when choosing a gas stove.

With the dimensions of a typical gas stove (85x60x60 cm), Beko FSG 62000 boasts an increased capacity of the oven (65 liters), thanks to which it is possible to cook large-volume dishes in its entirety (for example, a pig or a turkey).

All the utilities in the design of the stove are concentrated in the oven. These include the "gas control" system to prevent possible gas leakage and the function of cleaning the inner surface with steam. With it, you will not need to carefully "peel off" food particles from the walls of the oven after each cooking. Instead, it is enough to pour a little water into the baking tray and set the minimum temperature. After half an hour, the dirt on the inner surface will be softened by steam and subsequently easily wiped off with a rag.

4 burners are installed on the hob surface of the stove: two medium-sized burners (2 kW each) are moved away, and closer to the front edge of the user is met by a small burner (1 kW) and a large burner of increased power (2.9 kW). You will need to set them on fire manually, since there is simply no electric ignition in the equipment of the stove.

To the best extent, the model is characterized by the phrase "a stove that has nothing superfluous." And indeed, devoid of unnecessary bells and whistles both in terms of design and design, Beko FSG 62000 does its job well, harmoniously fitting into the interior of a modern kitchen.

A popular model from a major player in the home appliance market — the Slovenian company Gorenje — owes its success to a high level of functionality. It uses exactly the functions that you want to see in any modern gas stove.

For households who are dealing with automatic ignition of burners and ovens for the first time, this system may seem inconvenient. But it's enough to get used to it — and you won't want to return to igniting the flame by using a separate electric ignition button or a lighter at all. In addition, safety is at stake — the need to keep the regulator of the corresponding burner pressed for several seconds after it is set on fire is justified by the use of the "gas control" function, which prevents gas leakage in case of accidental flame attenuation.

A set of classic rotary controls on board the stove is complemented by an electronic panel with a small digital display for displaying the current time and the ability to set a timer for the end of cooking. However, the timer's capabilities only include the provision of an audible alert after a preset time has elapsed — it cannot independently shut off the gas supply.

The oven of the model has a very decent equipment, which includes support for cooking grilled dishes and cleaning the inner surface from steam contamination. But not everything is smooth in it — claims from users are made to the temperature adjustment scale inside the oven, applied not in the usual degrees Celsius, but in numbers from 1 to 9. This method of informing requires periodic reference to the instructions in order to compare which specific temperature corresponds to the selected mode. Questions are also raised by the glass insert in the storage compartment for dishes, which can be accidentally broken.

Due to cast-iron gratings, not only standard kitchen utensils, but also heavy-weight frying pans or goose coops become reliable on the working surface of the stove. So almost no limitations of the model are scary, so you can safely close your eyes to minor flaws in its design — they do not affect the convenience of handling, and the overall functionality of the plate deserves only flattering words.
