In the presence of new devices such as cookers and multicookers, the gas stove is still the most used and vital part of the kitchen. It doesn’t matter if you are a professional cook or just brew tea for yourself sometimes, because there is no kitchen without gas. Among Iranian brands, the name of Akhwan has been associated with the word “trust” for years. With more than five decades of experience in the production of kitchen equipment, this old company has been able to strengthen its place in the minds and homes of Iranians. Of course, the wide variety of models may make it a little difficult for buyers to choose the best model of Akhvan gas plate. You might ask yourself which model is really worth buying? Are glass models better or are steel ones more durable? In this article, we have tried to answer these questions by examining and comparing three popular models of Akhwan sheet gases in three different categories.
Criteria for choosing the best sheet gas of Akhan
The material of the page is the first and perhaps the most important dilemma in your choice. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, steel plates are a symbol of durability and resistance. The steel used in Akhvan gas (grade 304) has a very high resistance to rust, heat and impact. But cleaning grease stains from steel is more difficult than glass and requires special cleaners. The glass screen gas has a beautiful appearance and since Akhvan uses tempered glass with high resistance to heat and impact, there will be no need to worry about impact, but you should always have a napkin handy.
You might think that the next criterion is the number of flames, but more important than the number of flames is the arrangement and type of flames. For example, the position of the large rice cooker flame (in the center or on the side) depends on your taste and how you use it, but in general, central models are more suitable for large pots. In the following, we mention a number of other criteria.
- The immune system
- Design and installation method
- After-sales service and warranty
- Price and purchase value
The comparison table of the best models of the Akhwan plate gas
To help you make a faster decision, in this table, three models of the best-selling and most popular gases of Akhvan are compared in three different categories.
| Model | Material of the page | The number of flames | Dimensions (cm) | Type of lighter | Special feature | Approximate price |
| Akhwan V-8 Venus model | glass (black) | 5 flames | 86 x 50 | Automatic (simultaneous with the volume) | HE torches, Top-Time thermocouple, Italian parts | up |
| Akhan model Z-4 | steel (plain) | 5 flames | 86 x 50 | Automatic (simultaneous with the volume) | 304 stainless steel, very durable, classic design | economic |
| Akhan model Gi-13 | glass (black) | 5 flames | 86 x 50 | Automatic (simultaneous with the volume) | Beautiful design, rice cooker flame, high purchase value | average |
The best gas plate models of the Brotherhood
In this section, we go to the detailed review of the three models that were introduced in the table above. These three models are worthy representatives of the Brotherhood’s design and engineering thinking.
Akhwan model V-8 Venus series

If you are looking for the pinnacle of technology, beauty and efficiency among Akhan products, the V-8 model from the Venus series is the best answer to your needs. The real appeal of the V-8 lies in its performance; Where HE burners produce heat with much higher efficiency than standard models. Water boils faster, gas consumption is saved, and heat is transferred directly to the bottom of the container instead of spreading to the environment.
The safety system in the V-8 is also at the highest level. The use of ultra-fast Top-Time thermocouples means that in the event of a sudden flame out, the gas flow is immediately cut off. The cast irons of this model have a unique design that keeps the pots in place well, and because of the multi-piece design, it is very easy to wash them in the sink or dishwasher.

Akhan model Z-4

The Z-4 model is one of the most durable gas stoves on the market and is made for families whose durability is their first priority. Its integrated body is made of 304 stainless steel and moisture, rust and color change caused by heat are meaningless for it. Unlike glass models, you don’t have to worry about heavy dishes accidentally falling or pots dragging on the screen when working with the Z-4. Cleaning the Z-4 may not be as quick as glass models, but instead, it doesn’t show everyday stains or dust as much as glass.

Akhan model Gi-13

The Gi-13 model can be considered as the golden balance point among the Brotherhood products. The Gi-13 proves that you don’t have to pay a fortune to have a beautiful, high-quality windshield. For this reason, Gi-13 is one of the best-selling and most popular glass models of Akhvan in the market. Its black and glossy glass screen is easily coordinated with any type of decoration. The arrangement of flames in Gi-13 is slightly different and the rice cooker flame is placed on the side. This design has its own advantage and when you use a large rice cooker, the central gas space remains free for other pots. This model is equipped with all safety standards (thermocouple and automatic lighter) and its cast iron grids can withstand the weight of containers well.

The most important difference between steel and glass material
In terms of heat resistance, both 304 stainless steel and tempered glass used by Akhan have excellent performance and are designed to withstand high cooking temperatures. The main difference is in the “type” of damage they take. The biggest enemy is scratched steel. Although Akhwan steel has good resistance, pulling sharp objects or using a rough dishwashing wire can cause small scratches on it.
Glass is more resistant to scratches than steel, but its weakness is vulnerability to sudden and severe blows, especially at the edges. Dropping a heavy and sharp object will most likely break or shatter the glass.
The next difference is in cleaning. Glass panes are easy-to-clean champions. Their smooth and polished surface makes grease and food easily removed with a soft sponge and glass cleaner or even a wet wipe. But this beauty also has a cost; Black glass (especially glossy models) acts like a mirror and screams the smallest fingerprint, water stain or dust particle and you have to be more obsessive to keep it clean. But when food gets burnt on them or grease stains get old, they are a pain to clean.
The material of steel plate or glass has no direct effect on flame efficiency or heat distribution. The notion that steel gases reflect more heat or that glass gases become hotter is incorrect. The determining factor in thermal efficiency is the design of the flame. Gas burners using HE burners are much more efficient because they direct the flame vertically to the bottom of the container.
Important points in buying the best Akhan gas plate
Paying attention to the right size for the cabinet is the most important technical point before buying gas panels. Each gas plate has two sizes, first, the overall size of the product (for example, 86 x 50 cm) and second, the size of the cabinet cut. The cut size is the exact dimensions of the hole that needs to be made in your cabinet plate to fit the gas inside. This size is always smaller than the overall dimensions of the gas. Before buying, be sure to check the available space on the cabinet and, more importantly, the free space under the cabinet (for the passage of pipes and connections) and choose a model of Akhvan that is compatible with that cut.
Fittings and jiglers are set according to city gas pressure, but some models are convertible, and the after-sales service company can adjust the gas for use with capsules by changing the jiglers.
Final recommendation
Choosing a suitable gas plate depends on your needs and lifestyle and kitchen space. Before buying, be sure to measure the exact size of the installation location and make sure that the dimensions of the gas are compatible with the cabinet space and the way of ventilation in your kitchen.
