How do you choose the right gas stove for your kitchen?

Ultimately, when you are looking at buying a stove online, you should also consider the size of your kitchen, the number of people in your house, and how much use you are going to have for the stove.

Choosing the right kitchen stove doesn’t have to be that hard. The right kitchen gas stove will make your cooking experience a lot easier, and a lot more fun! The ultimate cooking experience awaits you once you invest in the right stove for your kitchen. 

Our kitchen stoves come with electric ignition, which means you can use our gas stove without a lighter. At IKEA, we’re all about adding ease to your experience, so we think of every little inconvenience that you, our consumer, might have, and we try to eliminate it. 

So how do you go about choosing one of our latest gas stoves? We’ve listed out some things that you should keep in mind when making your selection.

Do you need to buy a 2 burner gas stove or do you need more burners?

The number of burners you have can affect your cooking experience. If you’re an individual or a small family who doesn’t need that many pots to cook on, buying a 2 burner gas stove would be ideal. If you’re the kind of person who loves to cook elaborate meals, then you should invest in either a 3-burner or 4-burner gas stove. 

When you’re looking at gas stoves online, the intent of the purchase is more important than the features to elevate your cooking experience. So keep this in mind when you’re making your choice.

Consider the size of your gas hob or gas stove

Smaller burners on your hob stove are easier to use when the size of your utensils is small. If you’re cooking large meals, perhaps either for a big family or if you’re meal prepping for the entire week, you will more likely need to buy a gas cooker and hob with a larger burner. The size of the burner affects the cooking time, and a large burner for a big cooking utensil will spread the heat of the stove more evenly and lead to better and faster cooking.

Think of the clean-up after you’re done cooking

Cooking is one thing, but cleaning up the mess after you’re done is a whole different ball game altogether. You don’t want to sleep while you have a dirty kitchen in your house once you’re done cooking. It’s both unhygienic and not nice to wake up to. 

Cooking tends to be a messy affair, so you want to buy a kitchen gas stove that’s really easy to clean up. Luckily the hob stoves from IKEA come with extremely low-effort cleaning. All you have to do is spray your cleaning liquid and wipe the glass surface. It’s quick and easy. 

Keep the safety features of your latest gas stove in mind

You need to make sure that your cooking experience is a safe one when you choose your new hob stove. Some of the safety features that you should look out for in your new gas stove include:

Safety valves on your kitchen stove

Safety valves in gas stoves are an absolute necessity for a safe cooking experience. What do they do? They regulate the flow of gas that passes through the stove. All our latest gas stoves have in-built safety valves that ensure a consistent and regulated passage of gas every time you switch your gas hob on or off.

Electric ignition for additional efficiency

Electric ignition for your stove means that you will have a gas stove without a lighter. What does it mean as a safety measure for your stove? All the latest gas stoves normally have electric ignition so that you can optimise your gas usage. 

How does it work? Normally, when you turn your stove on with the lighter, there is the gas that leaks before you ignite the flame. It can be risky as well because you don’t always realise that the gas is on and it’s leaking. With electric ignition, your hob stove passes electricity through the burner before it switches on so there are no chances of leakage and you get optimised use of your gas.

Keep these features in mind before you choose the right stove for you.
