Comfort: cooking with an electric stove does not produce burning by-products like a gas stove, so you won’t need a powerful steam hood, and your kitchen furniture won’t get covered in a layer of grime. Induction stoves are the most convenient ones – spilled food does not burn on the stove surface, and the heating intensity can be adjusted just as precisely as that of a gas flame.
Healthandsafety: gas stoves operate with an open flame, which poses the risk of burns and even household fires. If a gas tank is left unsealed, it could leak and cause serious health issues, and might even explode. The latest electric stoves do not heat up excessively, they have automatic shutoffs for when liquids are spilled or nothing is cooking, and their control panels can be disabled – making a stove much safer to use for families with children.
Efficiency: although gas can be cheaper to use, it is not nearly as environmentally friendly or efficient. Induction heating is much better in this regard, with about 80–90% of all energy consumed actually heating your food. For gas stoves, efficiency is just 35–40%. Furthermore, all electric stovetops can be considered more environmentally friendly because they cause no direct CO2 emissions, while burning natural gas or a mixture of propane and butane leads to direct emissions into a residential area while also consuming indoor oxygen. Meanwhile, new electric stoves are becoming more and more efficient: an induction stove consumes 50% less electricity than an older stove with metal heating elements.
