A small electric stove is indispensable for tiny kitchens in small apartments, country picnics, office dinners and, of course, trips outside of civilization. Choosing a camping hotplate is quite simple if you follow certain recommendations for choosing it.
Advantages of electric cookers
Modern outdoor electric cookers are lightweight, compact, quickly heating, maintain a stable temperature and are energy efficient. They easily cope with the preparation of absolutely all dishes traditionally prepared using a stationary stove. Today, the market for compact household appliances offers customers a wide range of outdoor electric stoves with various designs and various characteristics.
More expensive electric stoves justify the investment by their convenience and complete safety during operation.
Russian-made electric cookers are in no way inferior in characteristics and quality to foreign-made tiles, but they are much cheaper than their imported counterparts. This is due to the widespread use of compact electric cookers in Russia - they are often used in villages, apartments with a small area, communal apartments, hikes, and so on. In addition, Russian tiles have an important advantage - they have built-in protection against electrical voltage surges, which is very important when using the device outside the city.
Choice of hot plates
Camping electric stoves are distinguished by power, size and number of burners. If several people go on a hike, it will be enough to purchase a stove with one burner and a diameter of 40-50 cm. The only drawback of such a model is the heating of its entire surface. If the trip is crowded, it is advisable to give preference to a two-burner electric stove, in which one burner is larger than the other - this option is the most profitable and convenient.
Today, gas stoves have been replaced by spiral and induction hot plates, which are much safer than gas-fired appliances.
The most economical and functional are outdoor induction hotplates, which heat up twice as fast as spiral ones, affecting only the cookware, not the hotplate. The only caveat in their operation is the need to use exclusively steel, cast iron or enamel cookware - it can also be identified by a special marking in the form of a lightning bolt. Induction hot plates have a modern stylish design, compact dimensions, an automatic shutdown function, a sound signal and control over the heating process.
