For many, a gas stove is a huge investment. It’s one of those things that you just have to purchase if you prefer cooking for yourself or your family. People often think that the higher the price, the better the quality. This is not always true for gas stoves. It’s also important to avoid cheap stoves that might put the safety of you and your family at stake. With that in mind, here are several things to consider when buying a gas stove
1)效率
一个燃气灶需要 5 分钟才能煮沸一加仑的水,而另一个燃气灶可能需要几分钟才能煮沸相同量的水。
您必须选择一款在烹饪时高效的燃气灶,以节省时间和金钱。

高效的燃气灶还释放更少的一氧化碳,从而有助于保持厨房良好的空气质量。

一定要检查燃气灶的效率等级,您可以询问卖家或在网上搜索效率等级。
2)厨房空间
您应该弄清楚厨房有多少空间,或者您想将炉灶放置在厨房的什么位置。

这将有助于确定您需要多大的燃气灶,以及您的空间允许您添加什么风格和附加功能。

提示:测量您计划放置炉灶的面积,并将其与您要购买的炉灶的尺寸进行比较。
3)预算
购买燃气灶时要考虑的另一个因素是您的预算。

在选择炉灶时,重要的是要现实地了解什么是你能买得起的,什么是你买不起的。

找到一个具有良好性价比的好炉灶。它将为您提供所需的所有便利和功能,同时又不会让您的钱包掏空。

再次强调,请注意不要选择便宜的炉灶,因为它们可能会给您带来各种问题,并且可能没有许多安全功能。

如果你明白我的意思的话,它们在短期内可能很便宜,但从长期来看却很昂贵。

4) 安全特性
大多数现代燃气灶都配备了许多安全功能,以防止燃气泄漏、厨房火灾和燃气灶爆炸。
以下是现代燃气灶应具备的 5 项安全功能:

i) 防倾翻:此功能可防止燃气灶从台面上滑落并造成伤害。

ii) 自动关闭:如果在一定时间内没有检测到火焰,则燃气灶将自动关闭。这不仅有助于防止气体泄漏,还可以节省能源成本并提高效率。
iii) 自动重新点燃:自动重新点燃功能可确保燃烧器火焰永远不会熄灭,从而不会导致厨房内积聚气体。当火焰熄灭时,该功能会重新点燃火焰。

iv) 按钮锁定:顾名思义,按钮锁定安全功能可帮助您锁定燃气或电器的控制器,限制儿童使用或宠物意外触摸。
5) 燃烧器数量
If you’re planning to use the stove alone or with one other person, then a 2 burner cooktop might be the perfect option. If you’re more than 4 people in the household however, getting a gas stove with 4 or more burners might be the best option for you.
6) Distance between burners
Some burners are crammed too close to each other which makes using two pans or pots at the same time really difficult.
A good stove should have enough space between the burners to enable the use of several pots and pans without any disturbances.
7) Type of burners: aluminum vs brass
Brass burners are often found on high-end stoves and are usually in a golden color.  If you care about elegance and aesthetics, then brass burners are the ones for you.

Brass is resistant to corrosion, which makes it a better long-term option than aluminum burners.

Aluminum burners are the most common type of burner in the world because they are cheaper to produce and also heat up more quickly than brass burners.

Aluminum burners aren’t as long-lasting and corrosion-resistant as brass burners though, so keep that in mind.
8) Gas stove type of ignition: electric or pilot
When you are buying a new gas stove, it is important to consider the type of ignition. There are different types, such as electric and pilot.

Electric ignitions need to be plugged into an outlet and use electricity to provide heat for the burners. Pilot ignitions need to be lit with a match or lighter fluid.

Electric ignitions are safer and more reliable than pilot ignition systems.

Electric ignitions are easier to install than a pilot ignition system because they don’t require compressors or fuel tanks. They also have easier maintenance procedures.

A pilot ignition system can cause more issues due to its complexity and the time it takes to get the systems running. Unlike electric ignitions, which start right away.
9) Oven type: Double Oven or single oven
Double oven stoves offer two ovens, usually one on top of the other, and are great for baking or grilling a lot of food at the same time.

Single oven gas stoves provide just one oven, these are perfect for those who don’t bake or grill a lot of stuff.

If you have a small family or you’re just alone, then a single oven gas stove would be the perfect option for you, however, for those with large families who wish to bake or grill a lot of stuff at the same time, then a double oven stove will surely come in handy.
10) Venting requirements as a factor to consider when buying a gas stove
Some stoves might require venting on the outside while others can be fine with just a kitchen exhaust fan. Be sure to check out the venting requirements that a particular gas stove needs.

Consult the gas stove’s online manual or ask the seller if a particular stove comes with any specific venting requirements.
11) Warranty
With a gas stove warranty, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that certain repair and part replacement costs are covered for you.

大多数燃气灶都提供一年保修,但您也应该考虑某些条款和条件。

请记住,一些制造商提供更长的保修期。

燃气灶的使用寿命很长,因此请务必寻找具有良好保修选项的燃气灶。
