Modern Gorenje hobs are very popular due to compatibility with any kitchen interior, because they are available in a variety of designs. Compact size saves space. Also in the lineup of the manufacturer there are built-in models. The slabs of the Slovenian brand differ in the number of burners, type of control, power and a set of functions. To select the appropriate option, it is better to focus on reviews on the Gorenie hob.
Types of hobs
To purchase the optimal hob, you need to determine its type. Depending on the requirements for the unit, you can choose:
- The gas stove on which the food will cook most quickly. It also attracts by its economical use of resources, undemanding care and ease of installation. Staying with this option, it should be borne in mind that the cooking process may be accompanied by soot. The heating zones of gas surfaces evenly distribute the temperature along the bottom of the dishes. To do this, double or triple flame crowns are located on the burners. In reviews of the Gorenie hob, users note the convenience and effect of this feature.
- Electric surface. They are usually loved for their convenience and environmental friendliness, since the work is not accompanied by the burning of oxygen and air pollution. But the heating of such devices is slower with respect to gas. Power is an important characteristic, the speed of the stove and the amount of energy consumed directly depend on it. There are many housing options: enamel, glass ceramics, tempered glass and stainless steel. Enameled and glass-ceramic surfaces are convenient to wash, and stainless steel and tempered glass are usually preferred for resistance to mechanical damage.
- A combined option, when the stove combines gas and electric heating zones, which creates additional convenience.
- Induction device. Its main advantage is safety. In the process, only the bottom of the dishes is heated, and the surface around remains cold. This helps to avoid accidental burns. Electricity is thus consumed less, since the induction method is aimed at heating only the dishes, and not the entire burner. This is confirmed by reviews of induction hobs Gorenie.
Gorenje GW 65 CLI
This model of a gas stove has an original attractive design and good functionality. The enameled ivory surface is 58 cm wide and 51 cm long. It is equipped with four heating zones, one of which is minimum (1 kW) and one is of maximum power (3.5 kW). There are electric ignition and gas control functions on the Gorenie hob. Customer reviews of the panel indicate rapid heating, the convenience of cleaning the enameled surface, as well as the stability of cast-iron gratings, on which dishes do not slip. Mothers of young children especially like the "gas control", which prevents accidental gas leaks.
And among the shortcomings are the following:
- strong heating of the panel and handles during prolonged use (more than 1.5 hours);
- the difficulty of cleaning cast iron grates in the event of spilling something on the stove;
- lack of free space - at the same time cooking on all burners is inconvenient.
Gas hob "Gorenie-641"
The reviews of the owners of the G641X model characterize the stove as a normal working unit without any frills at a very reasonable price (about 12 thousand rubles). The stylish appearance due to the execution of the stainless steel case requires special care to avoid scratches, stains and stains.
The product with dimensions 13 x 60 x 52 cm is equipped with:
- four heating zones with a power of 1000 W, 3000 W and 2 x 1800 W;
- cast iron grates;
- gas control function;
- automatic electric ignition (in the handle).
Gorenje ECT643BCSC
This is one of the most popular Gorenie electrical panels. Reviews about her are mostly positive. Owners note the beautiful appearance of the stove, its quick heating and clear touch controls. In addition, users highlight the following advantages of the product:
- Built-in Boil Control function that automatically adjusts the heating power of the burners. For some time, the heating zone operates at the maximum level, and then automatically switches to a predetermined temperature mark. This protects from boiling and digestion.
- The ability to stop the operation of all burners with one click on the StopGo button.
- Two modifiable heating zones: one, if necessary, increases in diameter, and the second takes an oval shape, so that, for example, it could be placed on it. The size of the burners is also adjusted on the display.
- Heating only part of the surface indicated by the boundaries, which is very convenient for cleaning the device.
- Quite quick cooling zones after work.
- Ease of maintenance - after cooling the stove, just wipe it with a microfiber cloth with warm water. With severe contamination, soaked soda can be used.
Induction and combination surfaces
After reading reviews of the Gorenie electric hob operating on the principle of magnetic induction, I would like to immediately purchase a similar unit. But there are some features in it that you need to adapt to. So, not all cookware is suitable for cooking on an induction surface, and it is desirable that its size coincides with the diameter of the heating zones. Also, when using not very good pots, the noise during the operation of the product increases. But all these nuances more than overlap with the advantages of the panel:
- very fast heating;
- PowerBoost function (maximum heating power);
- indicator of residual heat and the presence of pots or pans on the surface;
- child lock;
- a metal frame that protects against chips and leaks;
- not heating adjacent burners during operation;
- the ability to hold the dishes by the handles during cooking without the use of potholders;
- saving electricity;
- the presence of a timer;
- ease and simplicity in leaving.
Combined Modifications
It is also very convenient to cook on a combination stove, for example, model KC 621 UUSC, this is confirmed by the reviews on the Gorenie hob. The photo of the device demonstrates that its case is made of glass ceramics, which indicates the rapid heating of the burners. However, such material is afraid of point damage and needs specific care.
This functional and beautiful stove is equipped with four burners: two work on gas and two on electricity.
The model with mechanical control is equipped with:
- gas control;
- automatic ignition;
- residual heat indicator;
- protective shutdown of the hob;
- nine levels of power regulation of electric heating zones;
- cast-iron grates in the gas zone.
