Rating of the best Fornelli hobs in 2022

It cannot be denied that the presence of modern household appliances in the kitchen causes a desire to cook a delicious dish even among those who are not considered a fan of this activity. After all, by surrounding yourself with aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to use and productive appliances, the cooking process becomes fast and not labor-intensive. And in this list of "helpers" in the kitchen, the stove or in a modern design - the hob, popular models of which are produced by Fornelli, is not the last place.

Under the Italian brand Fornelli, built-in hobs and ovens have been on the market since 2008. This manufacturer has earned its popularity thanks to unusual design solutions, a diverse range and the release of models with an extended set of functions.

What to look for when choosing a cooktop

Hobs are produced in three types: gas, electric and combined. And if everything is clear with gas, then the electric one has variations: just electric or induction, the detailed characteristics of which will be described below. The combined panel is a combination of electric burners with gas ones.

In addition to the connection method, the types of panels also differ in the way the heating element is used. It can be rapid in the form of a spiral, the heating and cooling time of which is about 10 seconds. A variety of rapid are also Hi Light burners, the heating element of which is made of alloys with high electrical resistance. This technology allows you to expand the heating surface, increasing it to the size of dishes.

Another type is halogen, which, unlike conventional electric burners, heats up in a matter of seconds. The heating element is a quartz tube filled with halogen. The price of cooking surfaces with halogen burners is quite high, and the service life is relatively short, so such models are presented on the market in small quantities. The safest heating element is induction. It heats only the dishes using a magnetic field, and the surface itself does not heat up, which saves energy. But this type of heater has a big minus - the need to use only special dishes with a thick bottom.

In addition to the above differences, hobs can be dependent and independent.Dependent differs in that it comes with an oven with a single control system.

The material of the panel also plays an important role. The most traditional option is enamel covering the steel base. The second option is stainless steel, which is more durable, but dirt is more noticeable on it, which requires special cleaning products to remove. Well, superior in many respects to the first two materials - glass ceramics or tempered glass. It has an aesthetically pleasing appearance, impact resistance, easy to clean, but does not like loose substances, runaway liquids and needs special dishes and careful washing.
