12.3.21
Have you ever been watching HGTV when one of the house hunters says that they are seeking a gas stove for their new home? Why is a gas stove so important? It is a fact that many consumers seek out a home that has a gas hook up instead of electric for their stove, but why?
There are a few reasons why people want to have a gas stove instead of an electric stove in their home. In this article, we will discuss some of the benefits of a gas stove instead.
Heat Up Quicker
Professional chefs prefer gas stoves because they immediately can be ignited. Therefore, the gas cooktop can be heated up much quicker than an electric cooktop. Food will be able to be cooked quicker and it will allow the chef to cook their meal in a shorter amount of time.
More Precise Temperature
Chefs like to have gas stoves because it gives them more control over the temperature of their dishes. The majority of chefs say that they get a much more precise temperature when they are using a gas cooktop as opposed to an electric cooktop. Therefore, they know exactly which temperature their cooktop is heating up to as opposed to an electric cooktop that isn’t as accurate.
Versatile in Cookware
There are many types of cookware that aren’t designed for an electric cooktop. For example, a Wok was designed to be cooked over a flame. Therefore, it won’t perform as well if it is over an electric cooktop. Wok compliments a gas stove very nicely and provides a much better dish.
A gas stove can handle cookware that isn't perfectly flat on the bottom while an electric cooktop needs to be flatter in order to cook the food evenly. Therefore, a gas stove has a lot more versatility than an electric stove.
Food Tastes Better
Many chefs claim that their food will actually taste better on a gas stove than an electric stove. Chef’s love that gas stoves allow for more control of the dish and therefore they claim it tastes better.
Takeaways
Although an electric stove will cook your food perfectly fine most chefs prefer the control of a gas stove. If you hear somebody say that they prefer gas it is usually because they really like to cook.
Unfortunately, if your stove isn’t already hooked up to gas it can be very complex and expensive to change a stove from electric to gas.
