Gas stoves with a width of 50 cm: there are such compacts!

Gas stoves 50 cm wide are the best option for hostesses who are looking for a full, but compact model for a small kitchen, and for those who plan to replace the old “helper”, leaving their furniture unchanged. There are quite a lot of proposals for compact models, and a sufficient number of companies operating in this market, although there are exceptions. Among the variety of devices there are no Bosch, Siemens, Smeg stoves. It should be noted that it will be easier to choose a completely gas stove, because in the stores there are most of them, combined devices represent a more modest, but numerous group – about 200 options.

Non-standard

When buying, you should pay attention to the fact that the standard dimensions are not respected in all models. A width of 50 cm is the optimal setting for two pairs of elements and therefore cookware to be placed more or less comfortably on the panel.

This size, although generally accepted, but still not immutable, there are small deviations from it. Ricci stoves have a slightly larger width – 51 cm TAHITI 4417 model , Mabe and Lada stoves have 52 cm width Mabe Perfomance 4B and Lada 14.101 , and the Atlant models – 56 cm 2101-01 .

The second parameter – the depth of 60 cm – is determined based on the standard depth of conventional floor cabinet of the kitchen set.

The depth of models sometimes also differs from this figure, for example, the Brandt and Ricci stoves are bigger – respectively 62 and 65 cm Brandt KG1050W, Ricci OG-5031 .

There are also narrower: the same Ricci and Darina A KM341 322 W – 57 cm, stoves Candy and Erisson – 55 cm models respectively CGG 5620 BW and GG50/55S SR , Greta – 54 cm 1470-GE IP . 00 , Gefest – 53 cm 3110 .

In addition, there is a second, less common standard – 50 cm. In this case, the hob is either placed further from the wall or somewhat by 10 cm recessed in relation to the furniture front Indesit KN 1M11 S(W .

The height can be 90 cm – the hob in this case is slightly elevated above the countertop, which allows to visually highlight it, in addition, it is more convenient to work behind such a stove Ricci OG-5031 .

IFR® The main characteristics of the top model 50×60 cm gas stove by percentage of distribution in America in February 2012.

The leader of models on distribution on the shelves of stores of home appliances of America in February among gas stoves 50×60 sm is the stove of white color the sizes shhghv 50x60x85 sm with a drawer for dishes, with mechanical control, rotary switches, mechanical electro ignition, with an enameled surface of a cooking oven, 4 gas burners, volume of an oven 46 l without convection. Prices for such model in America vary from 9 458 to 14 509 Dollars. The most common price is 11,999 Dollars. This model appeared on the shelves of America in January 2006.

What’s the price?

The price of fully gas stoves ranges from 5000 to 32 000 Dollars. The most expensive model in the group is the Kaiser HGE 50508 KR with a stainless steel cooktop and almost all actual functions. The most affordable is a simple stove Nord PG4-104-3A WH.

What’s on the panel?

Gas stoves with a width of 50 cm and a depth of 60 cm are equipped exclusively with four elements. Fully gas cookers are almost always equipped with three types of burners – slow power about 0.9-1.1 kW , medium 1.6-1.9 kW , they are put in two, and strong 2.6-3.3 kW .

The most powerful element can be simple or Triple Crown type, with a triple row of flames. Triple Crown burners have a capacity of 3 kW or more, the heating with their help goes very quickly and, importantly, more evenly. But unfortunately, the rather popular triple elements in compact stoves are not often put, an example – Hotpoint-Ariston C 35S P6 W .

Combination stove tables are of two types:

– Three gas burners + electric burner Indesit KN 1M11 S(W , Ardo A 631 EB INOX, Gefest 3110 .

Burner is usually put only cast iron, but can relate to the express type, in this case, the maximum power it reaches 4-5 minutes Gorenje K 55303 AW . Burner is an auxiliary, reserve element, so place it in the most uncomfortable place – in the far left or right. Power of 1 kW.

– Two burners + two cast iron burners.

Electric elements can be the same, but more often one of them medium, the second strong. Put burners in a row on the left Hansa FCMW52007010 , or on the right Beko CS 53010 , or behind King BK2211 W , or diagonally De Luxe 5422.03ge .

Baking pies

The volume of the oven is determined by its design features, in particular the volume allocated for the dish drawer.

The variation in the size of the oven is quite significant – from 40 to 60 liters!

The most capacious ovens: 60 liters – Electrolux EKK 511510 W and 511510 X stoves have the cost 12 000-14 000 Dollars.

The most compact ovens:

– 42 l – at Hansa FCGW50000011 and Candy CGG 5612 SBS

– 43 liters – De Luxe 5040.21ge cr and Darina B GM441 014 W

– 44 liters – the Gefest 3200

– 46 l – in Mora MGN 52103 FBR1.

– The most common capacity option – 50 l.

Our main asset

The oven of a compact stove is often a gas oven. The simplest version of it offers one element – the bottom burner, which is used to create the necessary microclimate. Burner power determines how quickly the oven will reach the desired temperature regime.

The “fastest” are burners of 3 kW or more. For example, the Gefest 3300 has a bottom burner capacity of 3.55 kW. The average power is close to 2.6 Darina FGM 341 014 , the minimum power is 2.1 kW Atlant GU 2107 .

The maximum working temperature is usually 250 ° C, rarely – 270 ° C stoves Greta, for example, 1470-00 isp. 12 WH , 275 ºC Beko plates, one of them CG 41011 , 300 ºC Beko CG 51010 .

Burner operation can be controlled by a special regulating device – a thermostat. It monitors the temperature of the air in the oven, reducing or increasing heating so that the deviation from the value set by the user for example, 200 degrees is no more than 5-10 º C. When you turn the oven on you simply use the temperature controller to select the exact temperature you want. The thermostat allows you to approach the cooking process with greater precision, increases the quality of the dish, especially baking.

Thermostats are used in stoves of different price groups, the starting price – about 8500 Dollars for example, De Luxe 5040.31g . In stoves costing more than 12 000 Dollars, they are already mandatory Ardo KA 640 G6 Inox . The most expensive model will cost 27 000 Dollars Gorenje GI 52420 AX .

In ovens without a thermostat heating mode is selected “by eye”, but to control the temperature is still possible – for this purpose on the glass oven is placed thermometer.

Smells like fried food

The grill is the second heater that is commonly used in gas ovens. It can be gas or electric, with the same number of offers with both variants. The gas grill is good because it consumes no electricity. It is a linear burner installed in the center of the “ceiling. But it has a very limited area of action – literally a few centimeters from the projection of the element downwards no more roasting. Examples of models: Beko CG 41111 G, Indesit K 1G21 W , Ardo A 540 G6 White.

Electric grill tube is located along the perimeter of the ceiling, so the area of its impact is greater. The disadvantage is that when using gas, you have to pay for extra electricity consumption. Examples of models: Hansa FCGX56001010, Zanussi ZCG 56 DGW, Ardo 56GE40 X.

The power of the grill is always lower than that of the bottom burner and regardless of the type is 1.6-2.0 kW.

The grill in the gas oven is always on solo, there is no combined mode. In addition, it is not possible to change the power of the element – it is always the maximum. The degree of exposure to food is regulated by selecting the level of the oven.

For cooking chicken and large pieces of meat in the equipment of the oven can be a skewer. It is always connected to an electric motor that ensures its even rotation.

In the wind

More recently, gas ovens have begun to use another element – the fan. As in the electric models, it is on the back wall. With the advent of the fan previously it was used only in very expensive models at a price of a budget car , gas ovens became equipped with convection, and therefore belong to the class of multifunctional.

The function is still common, but only a few plates, and most are made by the Electrolux Group – this AEG 31345 GM-WN, Electrolux EKG 511112 W and EKG 511113 X, the price of stoves 12 000-16 000 Dollars.

Low prevalence of such an interesting function is connected with one difficulty – when the fan is working, the flame in the oven can go out at once, and not everyone can find the solution to this problem yet. For the same reason, these ovens use only electric grill.

The fan in these models can be switched on with a button in any mode – when the bottom burner or grill is working. The device distributes hot air around the oven, thus contributing to a more even flow of the process baking, roasting . It also requires less cooking time and allows you to choose lower operating temperatures.

Such a combination

The electric oven is considered more convenient for cooking than the gas oven. Therefore, the combined models are represented by quite a significant number of. Their cooking table runs on gas or it has one or two electric elements, and the oven is fully electric.

Static ovens without convection have at least two heaters – top and bottom the bottom is always more powerful . The simplest models have no grill, their price from 6000 to 10 000 Dollars: Mechta 450ghe, De Luxe 5040.21GE cr, Hansa FCMB51001010. You can buy a stove with a grill already for 7500 Dollars: Hansa FCMW52009010, Darina F KM341 304 W, Beko CS 41011.

Multifunctional ovens are also not uncommon and not necessarily an attribute of an expensive stove. The most budgetary variants cost from 9000 Dollars, for example Beko CE 51110 and Hansa FCMW57002030.

Multicookers are characterized by complexity, which is associated with the presence of a ring heater around the fan on the back wall. This element is designed to create special conditions for multi-level cooking it is always on only with the fan . When the element is not used, convection is provided by a fan working in conjunction with the bottom and top heaters and grill.

The number of modes in multi ovens is usually 6-10, including always a traditional mode two heaters with ventilation, often grill with a fan mode replaces the roasting on the spit, giving uniform roasting on all sides and defrosting only fan . For example, a Mora MKN 57126 FW 12 000 Dollars has 7 operating modes, a ring heater and a fast heating function.

The Electrolux EKK 513519 W 14,000 Dollars has 8 modes. It is interesting that the grill does not work solo, but only with the top element, for example, the mode for a powerful roasting includes the top fan, grill and fan, the ring element is used in two modes – convection and pizza convection with lower heat . Hansa FCMX58233030 18 000 roubles has 8 modes, for frying there is a grill mode with top heat, a rotisserie or with the fan, the ring element is also included in two modes.

Light it up

The operation of the stove burners can be activated by two automatic ignition systems – two-handed and one-handed.

In the first case, the piezo element turns on the user himself by pressing a special button on the control panel. When you turn the regulator, the flow of fuel opens, from the sparks of the lighter it ignites.

In a one-handed system, everything is combined directly in the regulator – by pressing and turning it, the hostess simultaneously turns on and spark and gas supply.

The one-hand ignition is more convenient, but it is more expensive and is used in stoves costing from 14 000 roubles, for example in Hansa FCGX56001019. Two-handed is more common, the price of stoves equipped with such a system, starting from 8000-10 000 Dollars.

The more budget-friendly variants do not have an automatic ignition device, and the customer is offered to buy a lighter separately or use regular matches.

Lighting system can be full includes both burners and oven or partial, when it is equipped only the hob. Full is usually put on stoves with a gas oven, equipped with a grill or convection.

Trust but verify

Gas leakage protection system is also made for the entire stove hob + oven or partially. With the help of a thermocouple, it monitors the temperature of the element and at its sharp drop which happens when the flame goes out it cuts off the gas supply.

More often try to ensure the safety of the oven, as it is more difficult to notice in time to put out the flame: Gefest 3100-08, Mora MGN 51104 FW, Hansa FCGW54001010.

Gas control of the cooking surface is mainly used in combined models with an electric oven: Electrolux EKK 511100 W, Indesit KN 1M11 S(W , Ardo A 631 EB Inox.

Full gas control is common, and in different price brackets, examples: Darin A GM441 102 W for 8000 Dollars, Candy CGG 5612 SBS almost 11 000 Dollars, Kaiser HGG 50511 MB for 23 000 Dollars.

Tick-tock

The only additional function to control gas and combination stoves 50×60 cm is a timer. The most common is the simplest mechanical timer – the alarm clock, which is used to count down the time and give an audible signal. It is a rotary knob, designed for a certain time, for example 60 minutes, in increments of 1 minute: Gefest 3500, Indesit KNJ 1G21 W , Electrolux EKK 511509 W. In this case, the timer can be used for any operation in the kitchen, including those not related to the stove.

Timers with the ability to turn off the oven heaters are available only if the oven is electric. They can be simple, again in the form of a regulator Beko CE 51110, Gorenje KN 55225 AW, Ardo KA 640 G6 Inox , or programmers with a small display and the ability to control the cooking process Hansa FCGX59053050, Gorenje K 57320 IW , but these very few.

Unavoidable and unpleasant

The most affordable way to simplify the care of the oven is the use of easy-to-clean enamels. They have a substantially smoother surface and dirt is less likely to stick to them so they require less cleaning effort. Stove with such a coating is not difficult to find, although they are not many. Here are some examples: Hansa FCGW 57001011, Electrolux EKK513519W, AEG 31345GM-WN, Gorenje GN51101 IW Eco Clean enamel .

Easy-clean enamels can be the basis for using hydrolysis – a system of removing contamination by means of steam. The system is characteristic of combined models Gorenje K57320 IW and Mora MKN 57126 FW , it is activated by the corresponding oven mode.

Catalytic cleaning is not a particularly frequent phenomenon. The surfaces of the oven sides and/or back are coated with a special coating. The dirt that gets on it burns off already in the process of cooking at the working temperature of the oven. After the surfaces have cooled down, collect the ash with a cloth. Most models with a catalytic converter are available in the Kaiser catalog e.g. HGG 50521 KW, FCMX58233030, HGE 50508 MKB . Catalyst is also used in Hansa FCGW57203030, FCMX58233030 and FCGX5720303030 , Electrolux EKK 513520 X and the new Brandt KG951W and KG1051W . Price of plates with catalyst from 14 000 to 31 000 Dollars.

Pyrolysis is not used in this class of stoves.

What color are you?

The body of the stove is covered with enamel, or it is made of stainless steel.

White enamel is the undoubted leader, and the choice of snow-white plate is the easiest to implement.

Next most common are stainless steel stoves Mora MGN 51123 FX, Kaiser HGG 50531R, Gorenje GI 52320 AX, Electrolux EKG 513105 X , it is worth paying attention to the difference in shades. The cheapest stainless steel stove you can buy for 6000 Dollars is Ricci Tahiti 4417. The average price is 15 000 Dollars.

Other offers combine devices with enamel coating of different colors: brown Darina S2 GM441 001 B , gray Gefest 3500 , black Nord PG4-104-3A BK and melted milk color Zanussi ZCG 561 GL .

The hob is most often enamelled. But there are also models in which tempered glass is used, such plates are in the catalogs of the company Gefest for example, 3500 K32 and Hansa FCGX58003050 .
