Despite the appearance of more and more advanced types of cooking stoves, the most common in everyday life are gas stoves . This is due to the fact that gas appliances are not too demanding for the cookware used in cooking, the burners are resistant to mechanical influences and temperature changes. Gas burners quickly heat up, which allows you to quickly prepare food.
Matches for ignition - not the most convenient option, because they often do not finish in time and leave scorches on the dishes. It is much more convenient to use a cigarette lighter for a gas stove. Lighter is a portable device for extracting fire. Most models of lighters for kitchen stoves are equipped with an elongated spout, allowing you to light an oven or a cooking zone with the dishes standing on it.
Types of lighters for gas cookers
Household gas lighters
This kind of lighters works from a gas cartridge, mounted in the body of the product. The device can be successfully used also for kindling fireplaces and fires. Experts consider it to be the best gadget for lighting cigarette lighters for cigarettes. The design provides for a can of liquefied propane-butane. In this case, this lighter is easy to self-fill from the containers available for sale.
Electric lighter for cooker
An electric lighter for a gas stove is powered from a socket with a voltage of 220V. The principle of its operation is based on the closure - the opening of the electrical circuit by the rod under the influence of the electromagnetic field. Pressing the button creates a rather powerful spark discharge. The electric arc instantly ignites the gas. This device has a number of advantages: ease of use, durability, instant gas ignition. But there are also disadvantages: attachment to the source of electricity, the inability to use the device in the absence of electricity. In addition, when using an electric ignition, dangerous situations often arise when the electric wire enters the flame of the burner, which can cause a short circuit.
Piezo Lighter for gas cooker
The principle of the piezo lighters is based on the appearance of a current at the ends of the piezocrystal as a result of its compression. Many people say that they did not immediately adapt themselves to lighting a burner with a piezo light, since its discharge is rather weak. In order to successfully ignite the flame, the place where a spark appears in the device should be placed from the burner to the distance of the flame, then the gas, mixed with air, will easily ignite from the spark discharge. A significant advantage of the piezoelectric lighters for the kitchen stove is that it works regardless of the power supply, and it is safe to operate the device due to the lack of an electric cord.
Electronic lighter for gas stove
The electronic lighter works on batteries, which makes it safe to use. The device is a pulse converter with a step-up transformer. When the button is pressed, a lot of fairly weak sparks are emitted, but they can easily ignite the flame of the burner. This kind of lighters is considered very convenient to use. Only do not touch the splitter, since moisture, grease-like substances and dirt can disrupt its operation.
More modern models of gas stoves are equipped with electric ignition of burners, which eliminates the need to use matches and lighters, but only if the house is not broken electricity.
