Ranking of the best tabletop electric cookers in 2020

Electric table stoves are widespread among students and summer residents; some buy them in private homes. The peculiarities of the technique and its popularity lie in two indicators - a wide range, ease of use. Attention is given to a list of the best desktop electric stoves for 2020 with their pros and cons, price segment.

Understanding tabletop electric cookers - selection criteria

Popular models of tabletop stoves occupy a significant place among the younger generation - students, in second place, in terms of the operation of equipment, are summer residents, the third category includes the rest (bachelors, young couples without children).

The popularity of models of electric stoves was formed due to the following features:

• low energy consumption;
• compactness;
• inexpensive in price;
• modern design;
• wide selection of goods.

How to choose a tabletop? You need to pay attention to several technical indicators: efficiency, number of burners, type of work surface and heating element, functionality.

In connection with such requirements, the question arises, what kind of plates are there. The table shows three categories of devices with their brief description and features, which are classified based on the material of the working surface.

Table - "Types of desktop electric stoves"

Material:	Features:	Description:
Stainless steel:	effective design, resistance to mechanical damage	a reliable surface that requires special care, without the use of coarse powders and cleaning materials, otherwise it will lose its attractiveness over time
Glass ceramics:	flat, smooth surface	the equipment generates heat only for the diameter of the dishes, if the dimensions do not match (the heating element is larger), thereby less energy is spent. However, not all dishes are suitable for cooking on such stoves.
Enamel:	resistance to high temperatures	steel plates, covered with enamel of different colors, for which they became the favorites of the public.They are budgetary, suitable for any utensils, easy to operate, as they only have on / off switches and indicators

Note! An alternative to glass ceramics can be tempered glass, which is also resistant to temperature changes, more flexible and durable.

For the first and third surface options, any cooking utensils are suitable, but not everything is suitable for glass ceramics - it depends on the type of heating element. In this regard, the question arises, which dishes are suitable for different types of heaters. The following types of burners are distinguished: standard and induction.

Standard elements include coil / band heaters that heat the work area evenly. Induction heaters affect only the area they occupy; however, dishes that are too small in diameter are not suitable. They can be of standard or non-standard configuration.

Note! For example, you cannot make coffee in a Turk, as the heating element will not react.

A huge plus of induction technology is additional functions that facilitate the cooking process: timer, several modes, high safety protection (it is impossible to burn yourself).

Based on these characteristics, the buyer decides which stove is better to buy, paying attention to the design, company logo and how quickly the installation prepares. The cost of equipment will depend on these criteria.
