Electric vs gas stove

[catalac]

Does it require special pots and pans

Yes it does, our pots had the metal internals were fine and tfal make pans for induction basically the same prices as others on crappy tire or the bay etc. I love that surface never gets hotter than what’s in the pan so no burn residues to deal with.

I love a gas range, I’ll never go back to electric, however I’ve never tried an induction range.

I also have a gas stove, no complaints here

 

[S.W.A.T.]

So its 50/50 for gas or electric but mention using a electric car and oh my word the internet will tear you apart

We have gas top with electric oven. Not sure the pros cons since it’s use is outside of my normal scope of supply. I do like the fact you still have a cooktop when the power is out though.

if the gas service is interrupted you wont, lol

We have gas and I prefer it over electric. Induction is a close second but you need to make sure your pans are good and you need a larger power feed than a conventional electric.

I've never tried, but gas cooktop still uses power. I believe for igniter. I doubt it would work without power.

I dont know anybody with a battery powered oven haha

That happened during the last cold snap, gas meter froze. Getting the fireplace lit was more important than making breakfast though.

I've had gas so long I can't remember how electric was, but gas is nice. The best thing I like is cooktop and wall oven instead of stove. Not having oven basically on the floor is really nice.

There is also safety stuff with them though, I don't know if it would turn off the gas.

Regular 220V stove plug powered mine unplugged the old electric plugged in the induction stove. have had every burner and oven running at once no issues.

Our gas stove will work without power, no oven but top works with liting burners.

My wife wants a gas stove top and electric oven. She grew up on a gas stove and the oven sucks for baking. It’s a moister heat and messes with cakes and stuff she said.

You may as well just get electric, remember within a few years the feds idea is to not even have a gas line to a house... haven't your heard solar is going to be a game changer LOL.

When we installed ours we had to upsize the breaker and wiring. Regular plug but bigger feed.

Now that is to be conformed to code and to the demand shown in the users manual. Not saying yours doesn’t work but things could be getting hotter than they should inside the wiring for sure.

Good to know maybe I’ve got a smoking hot breaker, will have to check it next time wifie has a full cook on the go.
