How to choose a gas stove with a gas oven: TOP 10 models with descriptions of characteristics and customer reviews

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 stove body is usually made of stainless or alloy steel with an enamel coating.

The most popular among gas stoves are 2- and 4-burner stoves equipped with a gas oven.

The best tabletop gas stove

And as a “bonus”, we’ll consider a portable version of a 4-burner gas stove in a form factor without an oven. According to our experts, the best option in terms of the ratio of minimum price and maximum consumer characteristics is GEFEST Brest PG 900.

GEFEST Brest PG 900

Rating: 4.7

The GEFEST Brest PG 900 tabletop stove, made in Belarus, is a workable, durable and inexpensive option for a summer house or kitchen with limited free space. Also perfect as a temporary hob option.

The dimensions of the plate are 50x52x12.7 cm. The body is metal, enameled, brown. There are adjustable feet for precise horizontal installation. The control panel is equipped with rotary mechanical switches.

There are no options such as a clock, timer, gas control, safety control or child protection in this model. Everything here is done for the sake of minimum price and reliability.

The delivery set includes a hose with clamps, nozzles for main and bottled gas and plugs.

Advantages

• kit for bottled gas;
• simple and reliable.

Flaws

• no expressed ones.

Principle of operation

Cooking on such a stove is carried out over an open fire, the fuel for which is:

• or natural gas supplied through the city gas network;
• or liquefied gas from cylinders.

The heating level (flame strength) is adjusted manually using the rotary knobs on the front or top panel of the stove. You can light a fire either manually: with matches, lighters, open fire, etc., or using the electric ignition built into the stove (if available).

Since 2007, all Russian gas stoves have been required to have emergency flame extinction control, that is, if, for example, liquid is spilled on the fire, the gas supply to that burner will automatically turn off.

Gas stove or hob - which is better?

A freestanding stove is cheaper than a gas hob. Therefore, if cost is a key factor, it is better to give preference to a traditional stove.

But it should be borne in mind that such a device will take up a lot of space in the kitchen, and the installation site is strictly regulated by gas service standards.

There are no such problems with hobs: they can be installed in any part of the kitchen, the device itself does not take up much space, but is much more expensive than traditional stoves.

Advantages and disadvantages

pros

• low cost of the plates themselves;
• economical maintenance (gas costs much less than electricity);
• easy “visual” control over the flame level;
• high cooking speed compared to conventional electric stoves;
• simple design, that is, the slabs break less often and are easier to repair.

Minuses

• are explosive if safety precautions are not followed;
• require professional installation exclusively by gas company specialists;
• it is more difficult to maintain the desired temperature, for example, in an oven (this is achieved by “selecting” the appropriate level of gas supply);
• the appearance of soot and greasy deposits on the stove and kitchen furniture;
• limited functionality;
• ban on gasification of multi-storey buildings above 10 floors (in force since the mid-1970s).
