To decide on the purchase of the necessary equipment, first of all, you need to evaluate the capabilities of your kitchen in terms of dimensions, and based on the free space, choose a built-in or freestanding surface with N-number of burners. The last question already depends not only on the size, but also on the number of people living in the family. For 1-2 people, you can get by with 2 burners provided that one of them is supported by the Turbo mode. For 3-4 people, optimal from 3 to 4 rings. In addition, if you do not know how to choose a gas hob, you need to pay attention to such parameters as:

1. Countertop Materials - the basis of modern models is made of enamel, stainless steel and glass ceramics. The first option provides for financial savings, but a short service life of the equipment. Stainless steel models are not afraid of cracks and chips, but quickly get dirty. The most expensive surfaces are made of glass ceramics, attracting increased heat conductivity, aesthetic design.
2. Burner power - almost all modern hobs have from 2 to 4 burners, one of which supports the “Turbo” mode. In other words, the most powerful burner includes 2 or 3 rows of rings, and is characterized by increased productivity for the quick preparation of complex dishes.In addition to the Wok-burner, the power of which can exceed 3 kW, there are weak burners of 1-, 1.5 kW and an average power of 1.5 to 2 kW. The higher the rated power, the faster you can cook - everything is simple;
3. Control - the vast majority of cooking surfaces provide for mechanical control, which is due to the adequate price and ease of operation. If style is of great importance to you, you will have to overpay for touch control. As practice shows, this does not entail any advantage. Most often, mechanics also include electric ignition, which can be activated by each of the rotary switches, by lightly pressing the movable element;
4. Useful features - it is desirable that the selected gas burner is equipped with a gas control function, automatic ignition. A less popular but also interesting option is automatic shutdown.
5. Burner grill - made of steel (enamelled) and cast iron. The former differ in light weight and low cost, but less practical than cast-iron grates, on which you can put large pots without worrying about the safety of enamel.

Thus, if you plan to save on the purchase of such equipment, do not chase electronic control and cast-iron grilles. Mechanical surfaces with steel "grids" are also practical and durable. At the same time, the power of each modern model is enough, when compared with electrical and induction analogues. And, here on the quality of the coating is worth saving last. If the budget allows, it is better to purchase a model with a steel or glass-ceramic coating. For buyers who have not yet decided which one to buy a gas hob, we suggest summing up:

1. The best 2-burner gas surface - Hotpoint-Ariston DK 20 S GH;
