Progress does not stand still: at first electric stoves were much worse than gas friends, because they warmed up for a long time, slowly cooled down, but then they came up with a glass-ceramic coating, and burners made of rapid or halogen lamps began to heat only a place strictly marked above them.

About the manufacturer
Few consumers know that Kitfort tabletop manufacturer from Russia was founded not so long ago, but its products firmly occupy their niche in the domestic market. The main office of the company is located in St. Petersburg, and the main production facilities are in China, therefore this country is recorded in the product documents, but model development is carried out by our specialists.
The company specializes in producing a new generation of household appliances and does not need advertising, almost all products are sold via the Internet, and Russian engineers constantly check the quality, so it is always at its best. The final price of products is much lower than that of competitors, because the company does not spend money on advertising and paying for warehouses - the equipment goes from the factory directly to the consumer's house, bypassing intermediaries.
Features
Kitfort induction cookers are an environmentally friendly appliance for the kitchen, developed on the basis of the latest European, American and Japanese technologies. The main components of the electronic filling are supplied by well-known companies Lenovo, China, Siemens from Germany and Toshiba, Japan, which are unrivaled leaders and specialize in the production of advanced electronics.
There is a glass-ceramic stove on top of the product, and induction coils are located under it - this applies to the model with 2 burners, a similar stove, but with the first burner there is one coil and the tile size, respectively, is much smaller. Due to the high efficiency - 94%, the heating rate of the bottom of the installed dishes occurs almost instantly, but the work surface itself does not heat up.
Thanks to the built-in high security system, these products are considered the most reliable in terms of fire. Accidentally spilled liquid from the pan will not burn, because the main cooking plate is slightly warm from contact with heated dishes. Getting burned by touching a hot stove is also unlikely.
All modes are controlled by electronics, the user only needs to set the required power, and then prepare or turn on the timer, which will signal an end to the process with an audible signal. After shutdown, heating instantly stops, so there is no greenhouse effect. The hotplate will not turn on for heating until filled dishes are installed in a certain area on the work surface.
According to experts, induction not only allows you to quickly cook food, but also saves energy, and the protection against children in this technique is very original: not only the control panel is locked, but also such functions: if the child only has to press the work surface with his hand, then it makes a sharp squeak, and the kids get scared. They will not touch the stove anymore.
