Preparing the best dishes and giving your kitchen a new modern touch is possible by choosing the best stove, for which you need to consider the design and layout of your kitchen and especially the uses you will give it.
Therefore, you should take into account the following points:
First, choose between a stove or a grill, the main difference being that the stove has an integrated oven, while the grill only includes burners.
If your needs are better suited to acquiring a stove, keep in mind that there are freestanding ones that you can place independently anywhere in the kitchen or built-in ones, but consider that they require a base or kitchen niche with the correct measurements.
Type of Energy
They are divided into 3 main types:
Gas. These are the most common and require proper installation according to the type of domestic gas. They can have manual or electronic ignition.
Electric. These are safer as they do not use gas; they heat through ceramic surfaces or with resistance burners.
Induction. These are the safest on the market, as their burners remain cool to the touch; heat is generated in specialized magnetic utensils for this type of stove.
Size
Stoves generally come in two sizes: compact, 20 inches with 4 burners, or medium with 30 inches and up to 6 burners.
In the case of grills, there is a wider variety of sizes ranging from 20, 24, 30, to 36 inches.
Design
Some come with a porcelain-coated surface and others with stainless steel.
Other models feature a protective hood. Additionally, there are different configurations and sizes of burners: small, standard, jumbo, triple flame, and specialized.
Finally, it's important to choose the color according to the kitchen decor: stoves in white, black, and gray for classic decor, or in stainless steel finish for modern decor.
