18 best gas cooktops
In modern kitchens, the usual stationary gas stoves have long since faded into the background, and independent embedded appliances are increasingly taking their place. And if electric models are more common among ovens, then gas is still the most popular among cooking surfaces. There are a lot of them on the market and the choice is not always simple. The best gas hobs 2017-2018 gg. - in our rating.
The main criteria for choosing a good gas hob
Surface material
- Enameled steel. Inexpensive, but very practical and versatile in terms of color matching option. Easy to clean. However, it still requires careful handling, since any chipping is fraught with loss of appearance and the appearance of corrosion. Enameled panels in Retro design are very common;
- Stainless steel. More durable compared to the enamel material, it looks natural and aesthetic. No chipping and corrosion can not be, but it is quite possible to scratch. The main problem of "stainless steel" - a very mark surface that requires the use of specialized cleaning products;
- Strained glass. Differs in durability and resistance to high temperatures. Gives the surface a stylish appearance, it comes in different colors. There are disadvantages. Contamination quickly appears on dark surfaces and requires constant and thorough care. Glass "does not like" the point of mechanical effects (fallen knife, cover, etc.);
- Glass ceramics. Such panels are the most aesthetic, the material is durable and has a high heat resistance, which allows the use of heavy-duty burners. The surface is perfectly flat and much thinner than tempered glass. However, to break glass ceramics is quite realistic, and she is afraid of sugar.
Type and number of burners
- Standard burners with one contour of the flame. Happen different diameter and power (usually from 1 to 3 kW);
- Two and three-circuit. Ultra fast and powerful. Can be used for cooking in a wok pan or for dishes with a wide bottom. Burners can be with or without adjustable contours;
- Oval. More rare option, is used for cooking in the ware of the extended form.
- Number of burners usually associated with the size and configuration of the panel and varies from 1 to 7.
Lattice material
- Cast iron - the best choice. They are durable, not subject to deformation from high temperatures, give stability, some can even be washed in a dishwasher;
- Steel enamel - a budget option. Lightweight, easy to clean. Disadvantages - slippery, burn, can sag.
Manufacturers
The best elite manufacturers of gas hobs - Asko, Gaggenau, Smeg, Teka. In the middle class, the leaders are Gorenje, Siemens, Bosch. Affordable but quality products are offered by Hansa. We are pleased with the success of the Belarusian GEFEST and the domestic brand Darina.

In the first place in the ranking of the best two-burner gas cooktops is the high-quality and stylish surface from Slovenia. Cooking table glass-ceramic black color with a polished front edge. The Domino design implies the possibility of both individual use and sharing with other Gorenje panels, made in a similar style (including electrical ones). It all depends on the needs and design imagination of the owner. Grill for dishes made of high quality and durable cast iron. Automatic electric ignition and gas control are provided for the burners. Two burners — a small front for 1 kW and a larger rear for 3.3 kW — are controlled by two rotary switches. The design of the latter may be alternative in similar models GC341INB and GC341INI. By default, the device is set to natural gas - G20 / 20. However, the manufacturer has provided the opportunity to reconfigure the liquefied fuel. The corresponding G30 / 30 nozzles are included in the kit, and their actual availability is definitely worth checking out with a purchase. Main advantages:

A great option for a country house, even if there is no connection to the trunk gas. Included with the hob is an adapter with the possibility of attaching a gas cylinder.

Top 3-burner recessed gas hobs
23 990
Classic stainless steel hob (60 cm wide). The design feature of the model is the presence of three, instead of four usual gas burners, of which one is economical - 1 kW, one of increased power at 3 kW and the third extra-powerful (4 kW) Wok burner with two flame circuits. Convenient cast iron grates have high strength and contribute to the optimum stability of the dishes. Automatic electric ignition and thermoelectric protection against gas leakage make the operation of the panel as comfortable and safe as possible. Control is exercised by means of three ergonomic rotary switches. One of the main positive features of the panel from the German brand is the FlameSelect function, which provides accurate and convenient 9-step adjustment of the flame level. Main advantages:

I chose the surface with the condition that WOK was a hot plate, but the panel itself was not huge. Among the dominance of 45-centimeter products of dubious origin, a truly high-quality and convenient model finally came across. |

Pretty original built-in gas panel with 3 burners. The hob is made of black glass, but the Belarusian manufacturer also offers alternative versions: K6 - in white, K1 - with a “clock” pattern. Immediately it should be noted that Gefest CH 2120 will appeal to lovers of unusual design, but for those who want to save space in the kitchen at the expense of a smaller number of burners, the model will not work. Its dimensions are not small at all: width - 73.3 cm, depth - 50 cm. With regard to performance, everything is not bad: there is a gas control built into the electric ignition rotary switches, a convenient fixed position "small flame". Grilles - cast iron, separate for each burner. Power burners: front - 3.1 and 1.75 kW, rear - 1 kW. Main advantages:

I liked the model superficially. It is rather big in size, but the cut-out in the tabletop for installation is smaller than that of standard panels. Rings are conveniently located, the handles are not heated. Cast iron grates are well made. While all like it. |

The small gas hob copes with its responsibilities. Ideal for small kitchen sets in small spaces. The tempered glass panel washes well. Automatic electrical ignition and gas control will certainly add positive emotions. Cast iron racks with additional fins provide good stability of the dishes. Loyal price adds benefits.

Gas hob with virtually no weak points. Great appearance, convenient rotary switches with 9 steps of adjustment stepFlame, protection from children, the presence of a stand for dishes of small diameter - the developers have provided literally everything. Gas control and automatic electric ignition give comfort and safety. Pig-iron lattices allow to prepare qualitatively, the ware does not burn.

Very decent gas surface of domestic production (Tchaikovsky, Perm region). The very rare case when the notorious import substitution still works and is quite good. What we have? 4-ring hob with side-mounted rotary switches. Retro-styled design is no worse than that of some noticeably more expensive Ariston, the build quality is in perfect order. The material of the table is dark enamelled steel. The set of burners consists of two standard 1.2 kW each (rear), economical for 1 kW and large - 2.1 kW. Provides a fixed position handles "small flame". In the presence of two separate cast iron grates for dishes, gas control burners and integrated electrical ignition. Main advantages:

Premium Scandinavian brand products are traditionally distinguished by high quality and reliability. All these epithets relate to the gas hob HG1666SB, but with the clarification that its additional positive qualities must also be considered practical.

Inexpensive, but nevertheless a good, stylish and good-quality gas hob, able to compete with its more expensive competitors. Moreover, in terms of functional features, gas surfaces do not differ much from each other, and the main roles are the quality of production and external data.

Excellent hob on glass ceramics in the original design. The manufacturer moved away from the usual canons, when the surface is either completely black or light and created a more versatile option, without breaking the clarity of the lines and maintaining a strict and concise design style. 2 standard rear and front small burners in this model are supplemented with a powerful (3.3 kW) three-contour Wok hotplate with a diameter of 10.3 cm. This gives you the opportunity to expand your culinary skills by preparing various Asian dishes, and also allows you to cook in wide-bottom dishes more quickly and with uniform heating. As with any decent gas hob, there are gas control and automatic electric ignition. The elements of the cast-iron grate intersect directly above the burners, and therefore there is no need to apply additional supports for small dishes. Included are nozzles for working with bottled gas. Main advantages:

Very nice white hardglass gas panel. HardGlass. Experienced housewives have long figured out that the technique of this particular color is the least labeled and care for it requires less effort and nerves. Of course, pollution in the cooking process is not less. Another thing is that drops, stains, which so spoil the appearance of dark surfaces, are simply not noticeable on a white background. What will please Bosch PPP6A2M90R? A distinctive feature of the new line of gas panels from the German brand is the FlameSelect function or simply 9 steps of flame adjustment. An additional control element is a switch for all burners with a sly reverse inclusion (child protection). Separate composite grids deserve attention, making it easy to move the dish without lifting it. A set of 4 rings is familiar: 2 normal, large and small. Well, where do without auto ignition, gas control and additional nozzles for liquefied gas. The model has analogues - black and in the color "anthracite". Main advantages:

If you look at the price, this Belarusian gas surface is budget. And looking at the characteristics and external data, a persistent feeling is created that it is no worse than many copies of more famous, and therefore expensive brands. And not such a seditious thought creeps in - is it worth paying more? The first thing that attracts attention is a table made of black tempered glass with a width of 80 cm. On this stylish base there are 5 rings, with a central one with three contours of the flame. Lattices are made of high-quality cast iron. Rotary switches, for which the fixed position of the “small flame” is provided, organically fit into the overall design concept. I did not forget the manufacturer about auto ignition and gas control. The conclusion is simple: if you like it externally, there is enough space for installation and there is a need for 5 rings, the Gefest CH2340 hob is a good option for relatively little money. A white version with the K12 marking has already appeared. Main advantages:

What gas hob to choose?
Most Domino mini gas hobs - A suitable option for giving or with their help you can simulate a team hob.
Classic "cooking" width of 60 cm fit almost everyone. There is not enough space in the kitchen - it is compact enough, a lot - it can be supplemented with its “Domino” panel.
5-burner surfaces rather big ones, and therefore can decorate a large elite kitchen or become a good help for a large family (there are quite budget options).
45 centimeter gas cooktops they are praised on the net, but you need to understand that, similar to the Italian and German brand names, this is frank “Chinese” and the sellers' assurances of their European origin are pure, but rather not very clean marketing. And the convenience of a narrow panel is in doubt. Here everyone decides for himself whether he needs it or not.
Material and Colour are selected according to the general style of the kitchen, combination with the oven and the hood, for the price, after all.
In conclusion
A simple advice is that in order not to repeat the complaints of some users who are dissatisfied with the fact that they do not fit 3 or 4 large pans at once (and most of the panels are not designed for this), do not be lazy to get to the home appliance store, take the usual utensils format and try on the instance you like.
We hope that our rating will help you make an optimal and error-free choice.
