No cooktops and ranges with evidence on record yet.
What do people say about cooktops and ranges in general?
Claims about cooktops and ranges that name no single product: technique, materials, what to look for. Still evidence, and often the claims that decide a purchase.
I love cooking with gas because well it is just immediate there is so much Precision you can dial it down or turn it up as much as you need and you know exactly how much heat is being output because well it's highly visible you never need to worry about leg time or latency issues with gas stoves because well when you…
Cites heat control, heating speed
my range really is on its last legs it's 40 years old and dying quickly
Owned 40 years
there's also another aspect of gas ranges that I utilize guys and that is charring you might have remember when we toasted those tortillas where we just held those tortillas directly over the flame no cookware needed that is a special application that you could do with gas but you couldn't do with an electric stove
Cites versatility
there's also the broiler element as well if you're into broiling and you really want that flame Char there again a gas range is going to give you that
also for certain types of say like Mexican cooking where you're going to be roasting chilies directly on a on a flame uh in order to sort of char the skins or roasting garlic or roasting whatever it is um directly in the flame.
Cites flavour impact
the good things about induction and gas are that they're both very responsive. So, you you switch them on, you can get them up to full blast, uh, and you're, you know, you're pumping energy into that pan uh, very quickly, and you shut them off, and it instantly will cut the heat.
Cites heating speed
gas a little bit faster than induction because you know induction stove tops they do have a bit of a thermal mass in the um you know the glass that's covering them. So that will retain a little bit of heat. So gas is slightly more responsive than induction
but in the end for me I just love gas ranges now I know they have their downsides and I made a video on that that I'll link to in the description below but the upsides outweigh the downsides for me
this wouldn't be the issue with standard electric ranges something with that heating element underneath all of the cookware would work on it because well you're simply putting cookware on top of a hot surface
Cites versatility
if you had one of these these electric type uh stoves and you put your hand on the element after you turn it off well it is very hot and it could burn you
Cites safety (against)
the issue with most electric ranges is that well there's lag times and latency issues unlike a flame that's either on or off uh the element is still going to stay hot so that means if you're trying to let's say turn down the heat quickly well the pan or the pot or whatever you're using to cook with it just won't do…
Cites heat control (against)
a lot of that heat energy is just kind of flowing up the sides. It's heating up the air around the walk as opposed to just the actual metal in the center of a walk. Um so you you lose some efficiency that way.
Cites speed and efficiency (against)
the induction one is is a little bit hard to get exactly right where the gas you can just regulate it just perfectly
Cites heat control
even when I had a a portable a full gas range at home
