Our Review Factors
Here are the factors we reviewed the Sunflame manual single burner gas stove on –
1. Design
Material – Material of the stove top, burner, knob and the pan support/trivets were checked.
Legs – Are the legs anti-skid or does the stove slide here and there while cooking?
2. Ease Of Usage
Even heat distribution and pan support/stability of the pan while cooking are two major factors we considered under this category.
3. Ease Of Cleaning
A clean gas stove is extremely important. Which is why we checked how easy the gas stove is to clean – the glass top, burner, drip tray and the trivets (pan support).

- Packaging – Considering that this was ordered online, how did we receive the package? Was it packed securely? Any breakage or missing parts?

How did we test this burner?
Just like a regular home or office kitchen we used this everyday for multiple dishes including making tea, coffee and re-heating food. We used a wide range of utensils (small and big) to check for heat distribution and stability on the pan support.
The dishes we made on this burner include – dosas, stir fried vegetables, tea, coffee, khichdi, heating everyday gravies, aloo chorchori (for Dabur oil review), steamed rice (for Baidyanath ghee), and for deep frying multiple frozen snacks.
The utensils used – 6 different non-stick dosa tawas, Solimo’s triply saucepan and non-stick frypan, Cusinchef pressure cooker, frying pan by Wonderchef, and Bergner’s stainless steel kadai.
Our Experience
While cooking we checked how evenly and rapidly the dishes cook. Different heat levels were used. We could maneuver the heat level as per the requirement. Throughout our testing we noticed that the food cooks evenly and rapidly. We have no issues with the type of flame and heat distribution.
Our Observation
After more than a month of testing, we noticed that the trivets started turning whitish. We used a mild dishwashing liquid and water to clean it up, but it only faded and not erased completely. The burner also has some brown marks which don’t fade off. The trivet supports all the pans and pots we cooked in and they do not wobble. Cleaning the glass top is easy everyday, and only requires a wet cloth wipe. For weekly stove top cleaning, you can use a cleaning liquid and a non-abrasive pad.
Is this fuel efficient? Another important thing we noticed is that the flame is blue. As per our research, blue flame indicates complete combustion, i.e, efficient fuel usage while cooking.
Pros
- The toughened glass top is beautiful to look at and is easy to clean.
- The size of the burner is appropriate.
- Even heat distribution which led to evenly cooked dishes. Thumbs up.
- This is fuel efficient. The blue flame is an indicator.
- Easy to clean and maintain.
- Single knob is easy to use.
- Rubber legs provide an anti-skid base.
