Gas stove - the electric stove
The classic stoves and the ones that most of us have been using for years are gas stoves. In the last decade, you can see more and more new and designed models of electric stoves, so many people are debating whether to buy gas stoves that they are used to, or whether it is better for them to buy stoves that work on electricity. Gas stoves are stoves that are powered by gas and are built from a surface made of enamel material or stainless steel on which burners (between 2-5) are fixed. If you like to cook large quantities of food and find yourself cooking every day, you should consider a gas stove.

The advantages of a gas stove

  • Control - the control of these stoves is maximum. This control is about the height of the flame and the temperature of the cooking. You can easily and quickly influence the flame and adapt it to the type of food and the level of cooking you are interested in.
  • Durability - the surfaces on which the burners are placed are very durable surfaces, so most people replace stoves after 10-15 years, and this is usually for reasons of design and innovation and not because the surfaces are unusable for another decade or more.
  • Safety - there is a sensor in this stove that prevents a situation where the gas will flow over an active flame, which means that safety plays a very important role here.
  • Utensils - you can put most of the utensils on the flame of a gas stove, which is not true of electric stove.
  • Design - currently there are many design options for stoves that work on gas.
  • Price - the price is sometimes lower than sales that operate on electricity.

Here we are talking about stoves that are offered in different colors and designs and anyone who loves design will tell you that this is a feast for the eyes and in a different league for the home. These stoves contribute a lot to the design of the house and its impressive appearance.
  • Uniform distribution - these stoves guarantee uniform distribution of heat, something that does not exist in gas stoves.
  • Slow cooling - as soon as you turn off the electricity, the stoves cool down gradually, compared to those that run on gas, and as soon as you turn off the gas, they cool down at once.
  • Shortening the cooking time - due to the slowness of the cooling, the result is the shortening of the time required for cooking.
  • Easy cleaning - it is very easy to clean the electric stove and this is because it is usually a flat surface and not burners. It is very important to verify with the manufacturer which cleaning agents are suitable for cleaning the surface.

In conclusion, there are advantages in every type of stove, but today the tendency of most people is to choose electric stoves, even though it is a higher cost. The choice is made due to the fact that these stoves are safe, designed, easy to clean and have maximum control.
