Gas-electric stove Hephaestus - I didn't know that stoves could be so good

Today I want to tell you about how we chose our gas stove. We had Darin's gas stove in our apartment. This is such an unreliable and short-lived object that after a year all the piezoelectric elements flew, it had to be set on fire with matches. A couple of years later, the casing of the upper flame, which was constantly used for baking and because of which, in fact, bought this stove, completely burned out in the oven and fell off. Then it did not light up at all. That is, in the end, there was a body with pipes for the burners, which were still used.

Therefore, I wanted to buy the next stove of high quality, durable. It is proven, which will not crumble in a couple of years.

After we read the reviews on the Internet, we began to ask our relatives and friends who have which stoves and how they work. And almost everyone, just like us, suffered with their stoves and scolded the manufacturers. We were almost going to buy something less bad, or to postpone the purchase and save money for an expensive stove, which at first was not planned to buy.

But suddenly, having talked at work with a colleague, I found out that she has been using the Gefest stove for 5 years. And he praises this stove in every possible way, saying that he does not know any problems with it. And my husband and I, at the invitation, went to her for the pies baked in this stove.

A colleague told us that a friend also advised her to buy this stove. And all the characteristics that she would like to see in her new slab were present here. And her requirements were as follows:

· She wanted the oven in the gas stove to be electric. She needed this for baking, which the family loves very much. After all, heating in an electric oven is much more uniform and easier to regulate than in a gas oven.

She also needed a convection oven (this is a fan on the back of the oven that drives hot air over the entire area, making the temperature even more uniform throughout the oven.

· Somewhere she saw that there is a removable skewer in the oven, which turns when baking, for example, chicken. And she was just eager to get such a curiosity.

· Of course, you need an upper ten (grill), without which the baked goods are baked unevenly.

· Gas burners should be large, spacious, so that several large pots can be easily lifted.

And now, after searching for such a dream stove, she found it in the form of a Gefest gas-electric stove.

To be honest, my dream completely coincided with her requirements. I wanted everything exactly the same. True, I have not heard about the skewer, and I do not think that I will use it often, but if it does, then we will definitely try.

Description of the plate

The stove is black, large, with thick cast-iron gratings that will not burn out in five years, as we had with the old stove. It is equipped with 4 gas burners and an electric oven. The volume of the oven is quite large - 52 liters. There is a grill mode, which is needed to quickly bake a juicy dish with a crispy crust.

There is double glazing on the door, which keeps heat well inside during the entire time of work. There is a mechanical timer with an audible signal. The inner lining is made of enamel, which is easy to clean. The glass is beautifully crafted with oval corners.

Dimensions (width, depth, height): 50 x 58.5 x 85 cm.

Control

I was surprised by the large number of control knobs - 7 of them. But then we figured it out, a colleague told us everything:

1. The first knob is the timer. It will ring when the time you set has passed, but it will not turn off anything.

2. The second knob is the oven mode. There are many modes here. Bottom and top heating, convection, skewer.

3. The third knob is a thermostat. With its help, the temperature in the oven can be set and it maintains it.

4. The rest of the handles are burners with electric ignition.

Such a stove now costs 27 thousand rubles in our city. But we looked and you can order from a large store via the Internet, it will be cheaper, even taking into account the delivery. This is our choice.
