Which is cheaper? Gas or electric oven?

Question

I have a gas oven but an electric one in the garage... will it be cheaper for me to have electric than gas?

Answer 1

i would say electric is possibly more efficient and i saw on the news yesterday that gas prices are going to rise by about 70% over the next couple of years so i would go with electric

Answer 2

Gas will always be cheaper to run. They use gas to make electricity so per unit of energy the gas will be cheaper. However if your gas oven is poorly insulated and door doesnt seal well then I guess you need to take this into account but as far as cheapness the gas will be cheaper.

I cook professionally and to be honest both types have their merits and disadvantages - I prefer to use an electric oven but a gas hob at home - gas hob is more controllable and instantly changeable, the electric oven is more stable and even.

Make sure your gas oven is well maintained and the burner burns evenly check the manual.

Answer 3

Depends on current prices of gas and electricity.

Depends on what you prefer too  & on what you are cooking ?

hard to say really?

Sometimes its also which system is quicker _as time may mean money?
