Modern and advanced models of kitchen stoves work on the principle of induction when not the burner is heated, but the dishes itself. In this case, the energy is spent on its heating, and not to heat the air or the burner, which significantly reduces the cooking time and consumption of electricity.

The most popular manufacturers of induction plates are companies Hansa., Gaggenau., Miele., Samsung., Bosch., Electrolux and Oursson.. The cost of models depends on the popularity of the manufacturer, novelty and the number of functionality. It is worth noting that many little-known firms also produce models of excellent quality. Make sure that the product is a guarantee - in case of unsuccessful acquisition, you can return the goods and get back spent money.

Detached (Electrolux EKD 603502 X) and embedded models (Hansa BHI 68014) induction plates are made. The first option is not very popular, but there are separate board plates (oursson ip1200t / s), the choice of which is very wide. They are compact and have several burners. You can put them in any place of your home. Built-in models must necessarily "betented" in the worktop. You can choose any size of the induction plate. For example, a 30x30 cm or a whole unit is more than 100 cm in width. Note that the stove should not be near the devices that have metal parts (dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, etc.)

Control regulators can be sensory (samsung NZ 64 F3NM1AB) and mechanical (Kitchen Line 3500 Hendi). It is worth noting that in the touch models the buttons are not heated, therefore there will be no control difficulties. Each type of control is convenient in its own way, so you can choose any likely option.

Pay attention to the number of power modes. In induction slabs there is no possibility of smooth adjustment. From the number of modes, it depends on, with what accuracy you can withstand the required temperature mode. The classic models are provided from 5 to 10 modes (Kit Fort KT 105), and in expensive plates the regulator has from 17 to 20 positions (Gaggenau CI 261112). Some models have intensive heating mode (Gaggenau VI 270).

Find out if there is a temperature control system in the model you like (Hansa BHI 64383030). It is very convenient - if the temperature exceeds the value you want, the stove will automatically reduce the power of the burner. Also very useful feature of the restraint of modes (Miele KM 6317). If you need to go out for some time from home, you can stop the work of the slab with one click on the button. In this case, all settings and settings will be saved. Upon return, you must press the inclusion button, and the food will continue to prepare, as if there was no stop. Be sure to ask the seller if the stove can prepare several dishes at different temperatures (Samsung CTN 464NC01).

Pick up the model with a suitable design. Silvery slabs (Bosch PIB 679F17E) are more practical, because they are not so visible spots. But the glass-ceramic is easy to care for, so you can safely buy a slab with a classic black color. There are models with different forms - rectangular (SMEG SIM 942B), square (Bosch Pia 645B18E) and hexagonal (Kuppersbusch Ekwe 320S). If the house lives an energetic and mobile child, it is preferable to purchase a model with rounded corners (Hansa FCCX68220).
The above criteria will help you make the right choice. Remember that for induction slabs, special dishes are needed with a magnetizing bottom - they will not work without it.
