Which is more cost-efficient? Electric stoves or Gas stoves?

Question

Since the price of gas is now utterly high, will it be more cost-effective to use electric stoves now?

Answer 1

It depends on so many things that it's an impossible question to answer.

You may live in a place where electricity is really cheap and gas is expensive... or vice-versa.

We could compare a super-efficient electric stove to an inefficient gas stove... or vice-versa.

And don't forget that energy prices are constantly changing -- gas had spiked up, but is now falling... the same could happen to electricity.

I'd suggest that you make your choice based on the kind of and amount of cooking you do, the end costs are probably not going to be so significant that it's worth changing what works best for you.

Answer 10

Gas stoves give instant high flame or low heat, unlike electric stoves which take a while to get high heat or cool off to low heat.
