Which is better for cooking, gas or electric? These are some things to be aware of

The debate over gas stoves vs. electric stoves is ongoing, often influenced by personal preferences and practical considerations. However, determining which is better for cooking requires a thorough assessment of several factors:

Cost Considerations:

  • Upfront Costs: Electric stoves generally start at a lower price point, around $650 for basic models, compared to gas stoves starting at $800.
  • Long-term Costs: Gas stoves typically have lower utility costs, potentially saving 10-30% annually compared to electric stoves. Over time, this can offset the higher initial purchase price of gas stoves.

Safety Concerns:

  • Gas Stoves: Pose risks due to open flames, which can be hazardous, especially in households with children and pets. They also carry a risk of gas leaks.
  • Electric Stoves: Generally safer due to no open flames and reduced risk of burns, although hot surfaces can still pose dangers.
