Based in the ancient northern Italian city of Modena -
home to car makers Ferrari and Lamborghini, and
balsamic vinegar - Glem Gas has produced high
quality cookers since 1959.
Emilia Glem is the Australian subsidiary of Glem Gas
SpA, a family-owned company.
Glem Gas is still in the business of manufacturing
cooking appliances in its own factories and today
exports to Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle
East and Asia.
In 2007 Emilia Glem introduces Australia to a new line
of cooking appliances for passionate cooks. Made
with characteristic Italian design flair and quality
components, combined with leading manufacturing
technology for today’s kitchen, the latest Glem range
is an exciting step forward. Glem appliances are
designed to provide cooks with more control over their
cooking results.
One of the biggest decisions in purchasing an oven is
whether to choose gas or electricity; the efficiency and
environmental benefits of gas versus the convenience
and ease of electricity.
Why choose gas?
Most professional cooks use gas for its clean,
economical and fast heating features. With only 1/3 of
the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity
(www.greehouse.gov.au) gas is also a good choice for
the environment.
Gas has a faster oven cavity heat up and gas
cooktops have the advantage of rapid heat response
when the flame is adjusted. Glem gas ovens achieve
even heat distribution through fan assistance,
eliminating cold spots and allowing baking on more
than one shelf at a time.
Gas produces a moist heat which minimises drying
out and shrinkage, perfect for roasting meats.
Why choose electric?
For homes not connected to the gas supply, electric
ovens provide an efficient alternative. Electric ovens
are renowned for producing a dry heat, appropriate for
baking pastries and biscuits and giving a crisp result.
Glem electric ovens have the added advantage of
programmability, enabling them to be switched off and
on at a pre-set time. Most Glem electric ovens have
more than one cooking function allowing heat to be
applied from the top, centre or bottom.
Electric cooktops have improved with faster heat up
and cool down times. The Glem electric ceramic
cooktops with their high efficiency and enhanced
design features are a great alternative to gas.
