Best Gas Stove in India: Important Tips and Advice

 

Gas burners in a kitchen are as essential as kitchen itself in any household world over.

 

Different parts of a house define different aspects of human life, and kitchen defines the part that has to do with the sustenance of physical aspect of human life. It is the place from where comes our food supply. Food requires cooking and cooking requires gas burners. Simple! Take it out, and your kitchen becomes just another room in your house. You surely don’t want it that way.

 

With the passage of time, human desire has developed need (food) into aesthetic satisfaction (taste).

 

Looking at it in this way, it becomes quite understandable how the design of gas burners has changed so much. Gone are the days of simplistic SS gas stoves that were priced in and around Rs. 1500/- perhaps even less than that.

 

Of course, the basic design remains the same but many changes are introduced in what we call ‘basic’. These changes are to be found in the materials that are now used in their make, the number of burners, the size of the burners, automatic ignition, etc.

 

Types of Burners

 

There are generally three types of gas burners found in Indian kitchens:

 

1. Standing Pilot: It has a flame continuously burning under a cook top. It means more use of fuel. However, it generates more heat as well compared to the sealed burners
2. Sealed Burners: As the name suggests, these burners are sealed in order to control the direction of the flame. The seal also maintains the quality of the flame which may get affected from spills
3. Electric Ignition: This system uses electrodes that produce spark for ignition. Once the flame is ignited, the same devices become flame sensors. As sensors they regulate the flow of gas into the burners and, if by accident the fire goes off, they automatically turn off the flow of gas. This keeps the appliance from causing fatal accidents

 

Size of the Burners

 

Having looked into three most popular types of burners used for domestic and professional purposes, now let us turn to the size of the same.

 

Size does matter – at times. Size of burners has to do with the degree of intensity of the flame. Big burners produce big flame and small burners, small flame. Of course, flames are controlled with knobs; yet the difference between the small and big burners remains.

 

Therefore, it is recommended that you take note of how the burners are configured. In a gas stove with two burners, usually one is small and another is big. In a gas stove with three burners, the design slightly changes. Some appliance come with 1 small, 1 medium and 1 large burner whereas some with 2 big and 1 small burner. In 4 burner gas stoves, there may be two small and two big burners.

 

A small burner is good for cooking small quantity; the medium size supports a quantity that is more than the former; and the large size supports cooking quantities that are even larger than are supported by a medium size burner.

 

Please note that the size of the burners does not require matching pan support to lend stability to the cooking vessels. Pan supports remain of the same size. But they could be individual or continuous type. Individual pan supports are easier to clean.

Material of Burners

 

Generally, burners are made from cast iron or brass or aluminum.

 

The problem with cast iron is that it is an alloy of iron, carbon, silicon, manganese and traces of sulphur or phosphorus; so it is not good enough for conduction of heat and electricity.

 

Also, because of its high melting point, it is more expensive to cast. The one advantage of cast iron is that, though it takes more time in heating up, it does retain heat longer than other alloys.

 

Brass, on the other hand, is an alloy made from copper and zinc. Therefore, it is far better as heat and electricity conductor than the other two alloys from which burners are made. It is also good resistant against the process of corrosion. This accounts for its longer life span.

 

The point is, the brass burners are the best. However, they are to be expected only in high-end products.

 

Number of Burners

 

This has to do with certain practical considerations. For instance, a gas stove having just one burner is fit for people who are single. For a family of two or three persons, 2-burner gas stove is ideal. The 3-burner gas stove is for the family of about the same size but having different cooking pattern required by their eating habits.

 

When we talk about cooking pattern and eating habit, these have a lot to do with culture. There are certain cultures in India where ladies belonging to them spend major part of their day in kitchen! And their families’ routine meals consist of more than three or four dishes.

 

Take the traditional Gujarati dish, for instance. It consists of rice, dal, chapatti, papad, achar and one or two types of vegetables. The changed time and circumstances require the cooking to be done fast. This is possible only with 3-burner and 4-burner cooktops. These facilitate preparation of several dishes at the same time.

 

Sometimes the cooking pattern is not driven by eating habit alone. Professional compulsions, too, are a factor to reckon with. Several members of a family are now doing job. Many plan out what they are to prepare for the next day. So, in order to manage time, they cut vegetables, fruits, etc in the evening so that the next morning they can straightaway cook them. And if they are to prepare some or the other pulses, they soak them in the night so by morning they may get tender. Such cooking patterns also drive the choice of gas stove on the basis of the number of burners.

 

Apart from the situations already discussed, only at the time of small get together of friends and relatives on special occasions or party, we see all the burners occupied simultaneously.

 

Please note that it is absolutely not necessary that cooking gets easy and comfy with 3 or 4 burner gas stoves. There are certain devices available in the market which are compactly designed and look good to the eye. It is when you start using them that you understand the meaning of the saying, “All that glitters is not gold.” If we consider the problems with the 4 burner stoves, it would automatically explain the problems with the 3 burners as well.

 

The main reasons responsible for discomfort in using 4-burner stoves lie in

 

• The placement of burners on cook tops. If they are placed in a square, the pots placed on the burners, which are on your farther side, are difficult to manage. If your stature is short, it would add up to it.
• The distance between the burners placed squarely on cooktops. It is less in a compactly built device, giving huddled look to the cooking pots. When they sit closely to each other, they are not easy to handle. Comparatively, a rectangular placement of burners is better.
• Placement of burners in rhombus shape on cook tops. Again, this design is odd if its angle that is pointing towards you is not wide enough. In this design, you find it difficult to handle the pot that is on the burner located at an angle that is farther from you. The burners which are on the left and right hand side are comparatively easy to use.
• The countertop space that they occupy.

 

If you needs must have it, then you better bear all these points in mind before buying a 4-burner gas stove. The best design of burner placement is a trapezoid. But, again, while keeping one eye on this particular aspect, please keep another eye on the brand. Because the brand does matter. It is safer to go for already established brands for they stand for quality.

 

The problems with the 3-burner cook tops are almost the same as those with the 4-burner cook tops.

 

Materials Used in the Cook Tops

 

The cook tops available in the market are of two kinds:

 

• Having entire body made of stainless steel
• Having the top of the body supplied with heat resistant toughened glass

 

The former is considerably cheaper than the type that comes with toughened glass top. If your budget constrains you to go for that, at the very least you need to check what material is used in its burners and whether it comes with drip trays.

 

The latter look great and are absolutely easy to clean if things spill on the toughened glass top. The mixing tubes, which directly affect the efficiency of the device if things frequently spill on them, are invariably secured with drip trays.

 

Some Important Tech Specs to Look Out For

 

These include

 

• Auto ignition: All you have to do to light your gas is turn a knob and it creates a spark that ignites the gas
• Manual ignition: This is a traditional approach that we have been using, requiring either a lighter or match sticks
• Turn the knobs to check whether they are not too hard. If they are hard, they do not last long
• Auto gas turn-off feature is very important one from the point of view of safety. If by accident the flame is put out, this feature would automatically turn off the gas flow. It avoids a situation where your kitchen is filled with gas. This situation is extremely dangerous. If it does not poison you, it will surely blow you off with explosion. Accidents related to gas leakage are always fatal and all possible measures need to be taken to avoid them

 

This brings us to the few things that are in your hand to look after no matter what product from which prestigious brand you are using. Failing in this respect would surely not help you get maximum advantage from your appliance. These have to do with safe use of the product.

 

By safe product use, we mean

 

• Controlling the flame properly. If you put a small pot on a burner and keep the flame high, it would reach out and heat up its side as well. If you use cooking gloves, even if they are heat resistant, such flames may cause fire incidence. And if it would not cause fire incidence or burn injury, it can surely mar the cooking experience
• If the fire is not kindled as soon as you light the gas, immediately turn off the knob and try lighting it again after few seconds
• Keep the holes of the burner open with periodic cleaning
• Immediately find out the source of gas leakage and do the needful to stop it
