plenty of power for the lunch break
every lunch hour eating out, which is in the money. What Office coffee kitchen has but a stove on the hungry colleagues can cook a little something? Our at least not, therefore the hotplates test came us 2016 more than location. The infrared hotplate of TZS first Austria to make it to 300 degrees in 30 seconds. That would be very the brief window of time a lunch break and many chefs. I've diligently away cooked and it tested the double hotplate thoroughly for you.
Packing and delivery
within three working days the 2 plate in large arrived several kilos heavy, Brown cardboard box with us. The company name, the logo and "Vienna via Hamburg", is on the box but it lacks any product description and illustration, therefore a surprise gift would work out fine. If one has removed the heavy carton, comes the product carton, which is stamped in grey wrapping paper to the fore. He is in purple tones and shows pictures of the device.
In the package were:
- The portable infrared double hot plate
- two handles with the screws and caps
- an instruction manual
- a warranty with a warranty period of two years
equipment of double hotplate
two belong to the actual device Handles which can be attached when necessary with the supplied screws and silver caps. The power cord is 0.85 cm long and firmly attached. The two knobs to the separate temperature control on the front panel are easy to grip and have five levels. The case of mobile plates is coated metal. The plates themselves are made of crystal glass (ceramic). Between the temperature controls on the front, a red indicator lamp is appropriate for each hot plate. Feet are to give firmer stand and hold the heat from the pad under the unit. Pro cooking hobs it brings the device according to the manufacturer to 1250 Watts, a total of 2500 Watts. To get this output, the double hotplate required a regular 230-Volt socket. There is no Angaben.Die about the Energiesparklasse glass plates have different sizes. The left plate is suitable for larger pots and pans GNET and measures 22 cm in diameter. The right plate has a diameter of 16 cm. Both plates are sublime.
Appearance and processing of the mobile double hotplate
with less than 3 kg and dimensions of 50 x 39 x 7 cm the device is relatively large and heavy. This may be but the stable construction owed, because visually the 2 hot plate doesn't look as though you would be immediately broken in a fall. The processing is very clean and high-quality. The body is decorated in matte black and the panels in glossy black. The double cooking zone not to win a design award, but it is subtle and appropriate. Although the housing acts as if it could easily scratch a scratch at least for delivery anywhere was to discover. The corners are rounded off and therefore there is less than 40 euros (September 2016) except of course the hot plates - no risk of injury through the device.
the price
currently this portable double hotplate is among the best in this category in the price/performance ratio.
So the hobs work
the technique based on infrared light spectrum. A halogen lamp with reflector, which shines through the glass surface and heats only the hob and not the environment is located under the cooktop. According to the manufacturer, it creates this double hotplate within a few seconds to 300 degrees. Because it is not induction technology, all pots and pans can be used. Through the direct heating of the Cookware, this technique is quite low. After use the plates cool down much faster, than that of the regular cast iron plates.
Safety instructions of the manufacturer
so that nothing can happen, TZS has put together a small litany first Austria, which all pay attention. I even summarize the most important points:
- clean, flat and heat-resistant surface
- 5 cm distance to the wall to ensure ventilation
- operate only in a wall outlet with 220-240 volt
- during operation, the casing, except at the controls, do not touch
- because of the high temperature may ignite grease and oil and need constant observation
- to use and When cleaning, the cable to the plug from the socket pull
practice test
after I found appropriate, location in our Office kitchen, instructions, we wanted to start immediately to cook. A pot with water first. Within a few seconds, you could tell the heat development. Unfortunately not by boiling water, but by a pungent chemical smell, as if you had forgotten a plastic fork on the stove top. That I knew already from our new kettle. to not soon to have again the same, I hired the second plate, and let evaporate the stale air, which subsided after five minutes. After vigorous airing and a second attempt was no smell more and the double hotplate did what they should be: in a very short time a liter of water bring to a boil. I performed this test on the larger plate. After I had tested the large hotplate, got the small. In a small frying pan I watched how the infrared hotplate with a fried in olive oil would cope. Since frying them, other than the water, not at the highest level, I was excited, how finely the controller will operate. I found no Beanstandungen.Um to operate both plates at the same time, there was pasta with tomato sauce. Yes, not very sophisticated cuisine, but so could I prepare on the small plate of the sauce and the pasta Cook on the big. The small double hob with flying colors was also this test. The water was again quick to boiling temperature and the mean temperature was kept constant in the sauce. The residual heat of the plates, both were still warm, when I took a second helping. Very next test I've had intentionally boil over milk schön.Als and it not immediately eliminated, but some ankrusten let. A new hob must do from actually. I have the plate for the rough used and for the rest of have a scraper sponge with normal detergent and warm water. Somewhat cumbersome as a tier system is cleaning anyway, but due to the intelligent control layout and enough distance in between the plates, I get them again very clean and leave no scratches.
Conclusion
Fast, small and mobile. The infrared double hotplate FA-5096-6 by TZS first Austria is their money more than value. For the price of a regular cast iron electric stove, you get a device with glass ceramic panels and energy-efficient infrared technology. All tested cooking attempts could meet the two plates to my full satisfaction. Even if the plate does not particularly stylish looks and smells not pleasant for the first time, I can only recommend it.
