Electric vs. gas stove: which one is better

Article Contributed by Jessica

The continuous technological revolution brings new products to society, and a never-ending debate between the old and new items begins. Electric stoves and gas stoves both have their own benefits and drawbacks. One should compare the costs and benefits of a product before choosing it, so let us compare.

Electric vs. Gas stove: which one is better
Benefits of Gas stoves
Temperature control:

Gas stoves have a visible flame that can be adjusted by just looking at the stove. It gives one more power to adjust temperature efficiently.
Toasting and flambéing:
Cooking on gas stoves is necessary for flambéing. If you are an expert chef who occasionally prefers to toast food items directly on the flame, then gas stoves are a better option for you.
Faster cooking:
Gas stoves generally take less time to cook food as their flames spread around the pan and heat the pot quickly.
Adjustment:
Cookware pots and pans for gas stoves is readily available in the market. If you are already comfortable cooking on gas stoves, there is no urgency to switch your cooking habits because something new doesn’t differ much.
Drawbacks:
Unsafe:

Where there are gas stoves, there is always a risk of gas leakage. Accumulation of excessive gas can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, which is fatal. One needs to install a carbon monoxide detector for safety.
Expensive pipelines:
If your house doesn’t have a gas line, then gas stoves can be costly for you. To buy gas cylinders from the market is a deal by itself.
Hard to clean:
Traditional gas stoves have a long history of irremovable grease stains, and it takes a lot of effort to remove them, so they are harder to clean.

Benefits of Electric stoves
Safe from burning:
Electric stoves prevent unnecessary and occasional burning of items lying in the periphery of stoves as it doesn’t have a flame.
Children friendly:
In contrast to gas stoves, electric stoves are safer and better to use if you have children casually hanging around in your kitchen.
Cleaning:
Electric stoves are easy to clean and maintain and don’t consume one’s much time.

Drawbacks:
Slower:
Electric stoves are slower in comparison to gas stoves. Its slow speed can be a problem for a chef who prefers to cook tons of dishes quickly.
More Budget:
Most of the houses have already installed and working gas stoves in their kitchens, and it would consume a significant part of one’s budget to switch to an electric stove.
Electricity dependent:
Electric stoves depend heavily on electricity, and if there is an electric shortage or blackout in your region, it only won’t work for you.
Temperature control:
It takes time to adjust the temperature on electric stoves that can be a problem for those at hand with gas stoves.

So, electric and gas stoves, both are the winners of our debate. It is to your discretion to decide what would be suitable for you according to your preferences and needs.
