If you’re trying to decide between an induction cooktop, electric cooktop, or gas cooktop, we understand that the choice can be overwhelming. On the one hand, you have to consider your budget and space allowances. On the other, you need to think about the features and design you’re looking for.
To help you make a better-informed buying decision, we’ve put together this practical guide on electric cooktops.
How to Decide on an Electric Cooktop
Although gas might be the industry standard for cooktops, electric cooktops have been gaining popularity in recent years.
Benefits
- Saves money. Unlike gas cooktops that may require installing a gas line, electric stoves are easier to install. This can save a lot during kitchen remodelling.
- Easier to keep clean. Electric stoves require much less maintenance and cleaning time compared to gas cooktops.
- Food cooks more evenly. Electric stoves heat all sides of the pan uniformly, preventing uneven cooking.
- Consumes less energy. If you are environmentally conscious, electric cooktops use less energy than gas, potentially lowering your utility bill.
Costs
- Takes longer to heat up. Electric stoves need a few minutes to reach high temperatures, unlike gas which provides instant heat.
- More fragile. Care is needed with electric stoves, as dropping something on the ceramic glass cooktop could cause cracking.
