Five functional electric stoves 60 cm wide

A well-established Swede with the EKC 6430 model index combines a new-fangled glass-ceramic hob with intuitive and unpretentious mechanical control.

The size of the Hi-Light quartet of burners, which are "under the cover" of glass ceramics, varies from 14.5 to 21 cm, and their power varies in the range of 1.2-2.3 kW. Accordingly, on the hob, you can quickly warm up both a large frying pan and cook a morning portion of invigorating coffee in a Turk. The indication of residual heat protects the owner of the stove from possible burns, signaling hot zones that are better not to touch with bare hands.

The Electrolux EKC 6430 is even better with the oven. Not only does it captivate with an increased volume (as much as 74 liters), so in addition, a wide range of useful additions are put into service with the oven chamber: an electric grill, a convection fan and a backlight. Working side by side with the lower and upper heating elements, these components form 8 modes of operation of the oven for baking and frying a variety of goodies (from sweets to meat with a crispy golden crust).

In the appearance of the model, the digital display in the centre of the control panel catches the eye. On his shoulders are the functions of displaying the current time and setting a timer with support for the ability to automatically turn on and off the oven. Also, Electrolux engineers did not forget to equip their brainchild with a drawer for storing kitchen utensils, but for some reason there is no power cord in the model configuration. However, this disadvantage is so petty that it fully pales against the background of other advantages of the plate, optimally balanced in price and functionality.

The Gorenje EC 6341 stove keeps pace with the times, combining a winning appearance with a stainless steel design, touch and mechanical controls, as well as an advanced level of functionality.

The model is controlled using classic rotary switches and an iconLED touch programmer with a display in the centre of the front part of the plate body. The handles for adjusting the intensity of the heating of the burners are made in white, and a pair of "twirlers-conductors" with oven functions are in black. In addition, the tandem of the last elements is located against the background of a dark insert with touch controls.

There are four Hi-Light burners on the hob of the stove, which heat up quickly enough and allow you to boil water in a matter of minutes. The trinity of burners has a constant diameter (14.5, 14.5 and 18 cm), and the left near heating zone can be expanded from 12 to 21 cm, which makes it suitable for containers of various sizes.

In the built—in oven Gorenje EC 6341, the usual upper and lower heating elements are working hard, a two-level PerfectGrill grill (a large heater is located along the perimeter of the ceiling, and a small infra-heater is closer to the centre), and air circulation throughout the entire volume of the working chamber (67 liters) is provided by a convection fan. The vaulted shape of the oven allows you to cook a whole duck or chicken and bake pies on several levels in one sitting.

The convenience of cleaning the internal surfaces of the oven chamber from dirt is added by the branded "chip" — the function of self-cleaning with AquaClean steam. Softening of fat spots and food particles stuck to the walls is achieved by creating the effect of a steam bath, for which a complete deep baking tray will need to be filled with ordinary water, which is heated to a temperature of about 70 °C. At the same time, the model is completely devoid of serious drawbacks, due to which its attractiveness in the eyes of potential buyers is growing exponentially.

Dressed up in a "suit" to match the stainless steel electric stove from the Turkish brand Beko will decorate any kitchen interior with its presence. In addition to the remarkable appearance, the model is ready to boast of wide possibilities in terms of cooking.

There are 4 burners side by side on the glass-ceramic hob of the stove. Moreover, two of them have expansion zones: the front left one is round (12 cm 750 W / 21 cm 2200 W), and the rear right one is oval (17 cm 1500 W / 26.5 cm 2400 W). The latter field is compatible with both conventional dishes and non-standard ones (for example, elongated goose coops). In order to minimize the risk of burns, each burner is equipped with residual heat indicators.

The assets of the oven compartment with a volume of 65 liters have a fan for blowing the perimeter of the chamber with hot air (convection system), a powerful electric grill and built-in lighting. Among the programme modes of the oven, there are 8 different options, including non-traditional defrosting and heating of food before serving. The selection of the required cooking programme and temperature regime inside the chamber is carried out using the heated handles in the middle of the control panel. In turn, a digital LED display with a timer is located in the centre of the panel.

The oven door with triple glazing is not heated even during prolonged cooking, which minimizes the risk of getting burned when touching it. Under the oven there is a drawer for storing dishes and kitchen accessories. There are no negative reviews about the model at all, which elevates it to the rank of strong average people in the league of functional electric stoves, which it is not a sin to recommend to friends and family.

Plates from the Swedish brand Electrolux are the embodiment of high quality and advanced functionality. A vivid confirmation of what has been said is the EKC 96450 model — a Pro-level electric stove that provides cooking at the highest level.

The main bet in the model is made on the oven compartment, which truly amazes with its huge capacity. The useful volume of the oven is 74 liters, respectively, a turkey or a whole suckling pig will fit into it without any problems. Bake them until a crisp brown crust will help a large turbo grill. In addition, when the backlight is turned on, the contours of the fan, which is the main link of the convection system (uniform distribution of hot air around the perimeter of the chamber), are visible through the door into the oven.

In the arsenal of the oven there is also a trinity of heating elements (upper, lower, ring) and removable telescopic guides of baking sheets. The walls of the oven compartment are enamel of easy cleaning. Fat deposits and dried food particles are easily removed from them. The story about the oven would be incomplete without mentioning the electronic programmer — a small panel with a digital display that allows you to set a timer to delay the start of cooking, set the time until the end of the cooking cycle and serve to display the current time on the screen when the oven chamber is turned off.

The hob with four Hi-Light burners of different diameters and capacities does not lag behind the oven praised on all fronts. One of the heating elements in its composition (near left) has an expandable round zone, and another (far right) has an oval expansion zone, which makes the stove compatible with non—standard shaped dishes. Smooth adjustment of the heating power of the burners is provided by handles that are heated into the housing. By the way, the only drawback of the model is connected with them — over time, the paint peels off the switches. Otherwise, Electrolux EKC 96450 is the strongest player in the field of electric stoves with a width of 60 cm, which in almost all parameters receives 5 points out of 5 possible.

The high-class stove of the vaunted German quality from Kaiser is presented on the market in several interesting colour solutions that distinguish the model from the crowd of ordinary peers and emphasize its location in the kitchen.

A prominent appearance is not the only thing that captivates Kaiser HC 62010. The stove also successfully combines a glass-ceramic hob and a multifunctional oven with a volume of 65 liters. The four burners on the hob are divided in pairs by size and power: a tandem of 14.5-centimeter heating zones operates at a peak power of 1.2 kW, and a pair of 18-centimeter burners has a power of 1.7 kW each. The cares of controlling the intensity of their heating are shouldered by rotary switches.

The mechanical control extends its effect, including to the oven, and the function of setting the cooking timer is placed on a separate handle. In general, the oven is the main trump card of the model: it provides an infrared grill, a spit, a fan of the hot air circulation system and telescopic guides of baking trays. The three-layer glazing of the door complements the overall picture, which is why it does not heat up from the outside during prolonged cooking.

There were some pleasant little things in the design of the plate. For example, a drawer for storing pans and various kitchen utensils is equipped with rollers for easier access to the contents. In comparison with odnoklassniki, the model lacks only a display. However, even in its absence, there are practically no impossible culinary tasks for Kaiser HC 62010.
