wants to cook well, in addition to cooking skills, the requirements for stoves are also very high. The gas stoves commonly used in our homes are all open flame gas stoves, but not long ago I found a gas stove without an open flame - infrared gas stove .
Because I am very curious about this gas stove, I also installed one in my house. It did feel safer when I first started using it, after all, there is no open flame. It has only been used for two years, and the shortcomings of the infrared gas stove have been revealed, that is, there will be tempering. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of infrared gas stoves? Now let me tell you!
What is an infrared gas stove?
First we need to know what is an infrared gas stove.
The biggest difference between an infrared gas stove and an ordinary gas stove is that the burner head is different. The burner head of an infrared gas stove is an infrared radiation plate made of special materials.
There is another obvious difference between these two gas stoves, that is, infrared gas stoves have no visible flame, while ordinary gas stoves have open flames.
Infrared gas stoves turn the flame into a infrared when the flame is on, thereby heating the food.
What are the advantages of infrared gas stove?
When I just used the infrared gas stove, I found that it does have the following advantages:
1. Save gas
The thermal efficiency of the infrared gas stove is very high, which can reach 68%, while the ordinary The thermal efficiency of a gas stove is only 52%
A gas stove with higher thermal efficiency is more energy efficient. After using the infrared gas stove, I found that my gas bill has been saved by 30%-40%
2. It is safer
The infrared gas stove has no open flame,So don't worry about igniting the surrounding items, the safety is very high.
In addition, the infrared gas stove has good wind resistance, and the flame will not be easily blown out.
3. Will not blacken the bottom of the pot
Friends who have used atmospheric stoves for a long time know that it will burn the bottom of the pot black, which is mainly caused by insufficient combustion of the gas.
Infrared gas stoves can fully burn gas, and naturally the bottom of the pot will not be burned.
What are the disadvantages of infrared gas stove?
Infrared gas stoves have so many advantages, why are they not popularized? It took me two years to find out that its shortcomings are not small:
1. It has requirements for pots
Infrared gas stoves have requirements for the color of pots. Because it relies on infrared radiation to heat, the white pan will reflect infrared rays, absorb less heat, and may not cook well.
Therefore, infrared gas stoves can only use dark pots.
2. Loss of the sealing board
The board that seals the fire can't be made of metal material, it will be worn out, and it needs to be replaced every one or two years, which is expensive and laborious.
Therefore, the best choice for the fire-sealing board is ceramic.
3. The quality is uneven
The quality of the infrared gas stoves on the market is uneven, and the quality of the infrared gas stoves is uneven.
Well, I have elaborated on the advantages and disadvantages of infrared gas stoves. Let me summarize:
Infrared gas stoves are indeed more energy efficient.However, when purchasing, you must look for big brands, otherwise you will not be able to find the person in charge if there is a follow-up problem.
