Operate a gas stove without a household connection using a gas cylinder?

Are you that professionally inclined when it comes to cooking?

In no case am I, my better half certainly more so, yet I still wouldn't claim that a gas cooktop is absolutely necessary for it to turn out well. In my eyes, a gas cooktop simply looks very nice visually; it somehow visually represents the "craft of cooking" and might also add a bit of flair functionally in some areas. It's a bit like a wood-burning stove; for me, that's more about atmosphere and appearance than actual heating.

Hello, well that fits the topic right now.

Yes, that's a very helpful contribution. However, I read online that the distance from the cooktop to the bottle may only be 1.5 meters, which would rule out the option of routing externally. It would then only work below in the cabinet.

My gas grill has an additional burner, but especially in winter, it's not as pleasant as right next to the induction cooktop in the kitchen. I'm now experienced with bottle changes, leak sprays, etc., so that wouldn't bother me. I find the approximately 300-350 euros for the Siemens gas cooktop completely reasonable, and we already have bottles for the grill, so having a reserve wouldn't be a problem. We'll just have to see what the further kitchen planning brings, what the extra costs will be, and whether the loss of space will be painful.

Where does the regulation regarding the short lead come from? Is that confirmed?

In no case me, my better half rather yes, but I still wouldn’t claim that a gas cooktop is absolutely necessary for it to be good. In my eyes, a gas cooktop just looks very nice visually, it somehow visually reflects the "craft of cooking" and can perhaps also add a bit of flair functionally in some spots. It’s a bit like a wood-burning stove, for me it’s more atmosphere and looks than actual heating.

The thing about the 1.5m is nonsense. How would countless campers manage with their two large external bottles then ;)
Maybe the flexible hose can’t be infinitely long. With part fixed piping and the rest with a normal gas connection hose, there definitely are no problems.

Just today at breakfast we talked about gas and induction and discussed right away the disadvantages of a (at least this certain) induction cooktop. The Siemens induction cooktop at my brother and his wife’s place (not a “cheap part”) shows the phenomenon that (as an example of the effect) in a pan with a thin layer of water the induction coils become visible. It is a cooktop with flexible zones, and in the pan there are 4 strips visible that are boiling, the rest of the surface (also in the specially purchased expensive €250 copper pan for induction stoves!) does not get quite as hot. The difference is so strong that e.g. pancakes burn in these spots if the pan is not moved. It may be a peculiarity of this stove. The service checked how much each cookware draws and said that is all correct ... o_O I don’t have to spend 1.5K for such a poor result. On my “cheap” Ikea induction cooktop the coils appear as a more uniform (but too small) circle. Also not good.

The thing with the 1.5m is nonsense. How would countless campers manage that with the two large external bottles then ;) Maybe the flexible hose is not allowed to be endlessly long. With part rigid piping and the rest with the normal gas connection hose, there are definitely no problems.

The flexible hose must not be longer than 1.5 m. We also had the problem years ago when we wanted to connect our gas stove. The gas outlet had to be routed with rigid piping first so that the hose, max. 1.5 m long, would fit.

Makes sense anyway, the gas hoses are not made to last forever.
