How to choose a gas stove with a gas oven: TOP 10 models with descriptions of characteristics and customer reviews
The main assistant of every housewife is, of course, the stove, which is used to prepare hot dishes and without which it is impossible to imagine a modern kitchen.
Depending on the type of energy used for heating, cookers are divided into gas and electric (including induction).
Less common are combined stoves, in which there are both gas and electric burners or an oven.

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 body of the stove is usually made of stainless or alloy steel with an enamel finish.
Principle of operation
Cooking on such a stove is carried out on an open fire, the fuel for which is:
- or natural gas supplied through the city gas network;
- or liquefied gas from cylinders.
Adjustment of the heating level (flame strength) is carried out manually using the rotary knobs on the front or top panel of the stove.You can kindle a fire both manually: with matches, lighters, open fire, etc., and using the electric ignition built into the stove (if any).
Since 2007, in all Russian gas stoves, it is mandatory to have control of the emergency extinction of the flame, that is, if liquid is spilled on the fire, for example, and the gas supply to this burner will automatically turn off.
Advantages and disadvantages
pros
- low cost of the plates themselves;
- economical maintenance (gas is much cheaper than electricity);
- easy "visual" control of the level of the flame;
- high cooking speed compared to conventional electric stoves;
- simple design, that is, the plates break less often and are easier to repair.
Minuses
- explosive if safety precautions are not observed;
- require professional installation exclusively by specialists of the gas company;
- it is more difficult to maintain the desired temperature, for example, in an oven (achieved by “selecting” a suitable level of gas supply);
- the appearance of soot and greasy deposits on the stove and kitchen furniture;
- limited functionality;
- a ban on gasification of multi-storey buildings above 10 floors (in force since the mid-1970s).

How to choose and what to look for?
The choice of any equipment for the home involves the definition of possible characteristics and their division into necessary and desired.
When choosing a plate, you should analyze such points as:
- overall dimensions suitable for the size of the kitchen;
- case and working surface material (stainless steel, enamel, tempered glass, etc.);
- design options (colors, order and shape of the location of the burners);
- the number and size of burners, based on the planned load;
- the presence of gas control, electric ignition / auto ignition on the stove and in the oven;
- the volume and functionality of the cabinet: the presence of a grill, skewer, lighting, convection, etc.;
- grating material: most of the plates are equipped with cast-iron gratings (service life - from 15 years), but there are also enameled steel gratings (service life - about 5 years);
- additional features: child protection, convenient guides for baking sheets, self-cleaning, the presence of lights and locks, the presence of an additional drawer, and so on.
