Functionality
“The dishes cooked on the fire are very tasty,” continues Alexander Dementyev. – However, you need to work hard to get something worthwhile. You will have to monitor the even heating of the oven. Otherwise, one side of the cake may burn and the other may remain soggy. “
The electric oven is still more functional. Dancing with a tambourine is not required to ensure uniform heating. And it has more modes: convection, for example.
Security
“It is clear that jokes with gas are bad, so you need to be especially careful: to look closely and sniff. No one is immune to leaks. True, in modern models there is a “gas control”, which, at the slightest malfunction, automatically blocks the gas. But it is important that all the manipulations with the connection to the mains are carried out by a specialist, ”warns Alexander.
Do not forget to properly ventilate the kitchen, because various combustion products are released during cooking.
Scientists believe that these substances can even cause cancer.
Carbon monoxide is deadly. Therefore, you should not save on the hood. When buying, it is important to pay attention to the thickness of the door – it should be quite solid.
Electric stoves can be dangerous too. If you have a house with old wiring, a short or electric shock may occur. Do not skimp on checking the electrical and its major installation. In addition, the stove must be grounded.
To protect yourself from burns, manufacturers have come up with temperature sensors. If the walls get hotter than 90 degrees, they block the power supply. There is also a tangential cooling function, that is, blowing cold air over the outer walls.
Price
The cost of equipment depends on the manufacturer and its characteristics (functionality, energy consumption, novelty, attractiveness of appearance, etc.). Keep in mind: While gas ovens are tricky to use, they are more expensive.
