What’s better, gas or electric for cooking? Here are some things you should know!
It’s an age old debate: gas stoves vs. electric stoves. Many people base their preferences on what they grew up on, and there’s nothing wrong with that. After all, if one was in your home throughout your earlier days, there’s a chance you probably used it to cook as you got a little older too, so you became more familiar with it. But personal preferences and nostalgia aside, which is truly better for cooking: a gas or electric stove?
It’s hard to say that any one is actually the right choice for everyone, and there’s more to this than simply what kind of stove we’re all used to seeing in our kitchen. These two different types of stoves cook food differently. So the preferred choice may depend on what you cook most often. Then there are also other household considerations. How safe do you need your stove to be? And how much are you willing to pay in utility costs throughout the year? We dig into these, and more, with a full analysis of gas vs. electric below.
