Is it cheaper to use gas or electric stove for cooking?

Question

I have an electric stove that was given to me for free. The home that I am in is fitted for gas and I don't have a gas stove as of yet. Would it be worth the cost to get an outlet installed and forget about the gas?

Answer 1

Gas is by far the better agent for cooking as temperatures are more easily controlled, plus it is a little cheaper than electric power.

Answer 2

Gas, for sure!

Answer 3

All resources are expensive to use they are a commodities so we the consumer must pay for them, it also depends on how much do you cook , I have both stoves and  the only difference is keeping them clean I love the self cleaning ovens so they use more energy when I clean the ovens, during black out I was glad to have the gas stove because I could cook . My advise to you would be to have both stove installed to serve you better in case of a large dinner party or even a possible black out .

Answer 4

Gas.  Electric is very expensive!
