The Pro’s and Con’s Between Electric, Gas and Induction Cooktops
Electric Cooktop Pro’s
- Most popular due to being most affordable
- Flush surface making it easy to clean and look seamless
- Great for cooking foods that need consistent low temperature
Electric Cook Top Con’s
Holds heat after being turned off, therefore can be dangerous. Most brands will have a red signal to make you aware it is still hot.
Temperature change does not happen instantly
Heat is not as controlled as gas or induction cook tops
Gas Cooktop Pro’s
Achieve’s high heat quickly, turns off and starts to cool down straight away
On new gas cook tops, If the flame goes out for any reason the gas will immediately turn off
If you happen to lose power, you can still cook on your gas cook top
Gas Cook Top Con’s
- Bulkier design and can be more difficult to clean around the rivets
- Must check gas levels consistantly to prevent running out
- More of a fire hazzard out of the 3 due to the open flame
Induction Cooktop Pro’s
- Fastest cooking method and responds instantly to temperature change
- Flush surface makes it very easy to clean and looks modern and stylish
- Safest option due to the technology heating the cook ware itself leaving the cook top to cool drastically once turned off
Induction Cook Top Con’s
- Most expensive due to new age technology
- Must use induction cook ware or your food wont cook! These can be expensive but worth investing in
