Criteria for choosing a household stove

To get a good device for cooking in the home kitchen, you should take a responsible approach to the process of choosing it. In the top criteria that help you choose the best solution:

1. Type of device: hob or stove with oven. The first option is to save space, and the second is to gain access to a wide range of useful features.
2. Electricity consumption. You can understand how much electricity a stove consumes by its belonging to a particular energy efficiency class. The optimal solution is an A+ or A++ class model.
3. Dimensions: standard width or narrow body. In a spacious kitchen, it is more advisable to install a full-size device, and in conditions of limited free space, a reduced-width model.
4. Number of burners. For parallel cooking of several dishes at once, models with 4 burners are suitable. One- and two-burner stoves are a godsend for occasional use in the country or in a country house.

Design features also play an important role. It is rational to choose a device with neutral visual characteristics or a model whose external features are in maximum harmony with the style prevailing in the interior of the kitchen.
