Gas Stove Or Electric Stove - Best Option

How to choose the right stove for your kitchen, the gas stove or electric stove? Choose the right stove can make cooking a much more pleasurable experience.

Most of the professional chefs choosing gas due to the quick response time. Anyway, which do you prefer and why? 

From their experience,

Gas, gas, gas!

I've always had gas, with the exception of one apartment years ago, which had an electric stove. Seems everything either burnt or cooked unevenly, it took forever to heat up and and made cooking, which I usually enjoy, a largely unpleasent experience. Since then, it's been nothing but gas, and any apartment or condo I consider in the future, MUST have a gas stove; electric is an automatic dealbreaker.

I would love an electric flat surface cooktop with a gas oven. If they exist, where can I get one?

I prefer gas cook tops and electric ovens. With gas cook tops I can control the temp. needed quickly. In the oven I need a constant temp. and electric seems to do better than gas there.

Gas stoves cook better

I have an electric stove. My mother has a gas stove. Gas oven cooking is definitely better. I find the item cooks more evenly. In my electric oven, I have to keep turning the pan around. If not, one side gets overcooked and the other side not cooked enough. This is especially true when baking cookies or cakes.

I bought a GE induction cooking range delivered in Jan. LOVE IT!! It's better than gas in a lot of respects. I never want to go back. Much easier clean up that either gas or glasstop electric. The oven is slow to heat and the convection part is driving me crazy, but I'll get used to it.

Gas or Electric Stoves

Gas because not only has a faster response but it quits cooking once is turned off versus electric ones when you need to remove the pan. It also makes it is also more accurate to regulate the level of heat you need

gas vs electric

I have had both and gas is by far my choice. I have bottled gas. I live in an area where power outages are fairly common. I can always count on the gas to be there - electric is iffy. Also I didn't like electric - I believe it is less efficient nad much more difficult to adjust. Just look at t gas flame and you know what you have.

I have tried hem all!!!

I have used them all..and my way is induction..I am very busy and gas stoves turn the heat down really fast and the inducton is not far behind. What I really hate is spending SOO MUCH time cleaning. The induction is wioped clean after every use in 2 seconds....and my pans are cleaner also.

I've always liked the gas stove better. When I turn it off it's off. When you turn an electric stove off it continues to heat and if you don't take the pan off it could still boil over. I also think that gas is less expensive than electric.

gas over electric

I have a gas cooktop and an electric oven. We remodeled our kitchen over 10 years ago and I opted to instal a 4 burner gas cooktop and used a slide in electric oven. Electric ovens bake more evenly and a gas cooktop is much better than electric. I can adjust a flame some much more precise than an element.
