Today, many Adelaide homeowners are looking for ways to make their kitchens eco-friendly. However, choosing between gas and induction stove tops can be confusing. Which stovetops harm the environment less?
Adopting greener practices in your Adelaide home is not just better for the environment. It will also save you significant amounts of money on your Adelaide power bills. So, which stove tops should you choose? Here is a quick guide to help you choose the best stove tops for your Adelaide kitchen:
Energy Efficiency
In general, induction stovetops are a much more energy-efficient option for your Adelaide kitchen. Induction stovetops heat the cookware directly, and even the surface of these stovetops does not get hot. This is not just safer for everyone in your Adelaide kitchen, but it also ensures that all energy consumed by induction stovetops is used for cooking.
On the other hand, gas stovetops heat the burners and grates first. These parts then transmit the heat to the cookware. During this process, high amounts of energy are lost to heat the surface of gas stovetops and the surrounding air. That is why gas stovetops can make your Adelaide kitchen unbearably hot in the summer.
Waste of Power
If you turn on your Adelaide induction stovetops and there is no cookware to heat, they will not consume electricity. Instead, they will remain ‘turned off’. Even during cooking, induction stovetops stop heating as soon as you remove the pot.
Unfortunately, this is not the case with gas stove tops. The burners of these stove tops remain functional until you turn them off. If you use a small pot on a large burner, your Adelaide gas stove will not limit the heating to the pot. On the contrary, the same amount of energy will be consumed regardless of the pot size.
Indoor Air Quality
With gas stove tops, there is no room for improvement. Your Adelaide kitchen has to rely on fossil fuels for cooking. However, induction stove tops can be powered by clean, renewable energy sources. Compared to gas, induction stove tops are also better for indoor air quality in your Adelaide home. Cooking on induction stove tops requires less heat, which means fewer emissions of every kind.
