No one can deny that skill plays an essential role in cooking. However, it is not the only aspect. The ingredients, the cookware and of course the stovetops, all will impact the Adelaide meals you’re preparing. Upgrading your Adelaide stovetop can magically enhance your cooking capabilities.
High-quality stovetops come with different features and functionalities. The three most common types of stovetops in the market today are gas, electric, and induction. Each type operates differently. It will affect the way and style of your cooking.
Here are the pros and cons of each type:
Gas
These are the classic stovetops. Many people are still loyal to them. They prefer gas stovetops, because of the familiarity they bring. Professional chefs also prefer them because the flames give them a sense of better heat control. They can see the different heat levels and feel them, unlike with induction stovetops.
Installing a gas stovetop will be a hassle if your Adelaide kitchen was not ready for it. That is why your Adelaide kitchen should be equipped with a gas line from the start. Adding a new one can cost you both time and money.
Electric
Many people do not know the difference between electric and induction stovetops. Both might look similar; however, they operate very differently. Induction stovetops will give you more heat control over electric ones. When you cook on electric stovetops, the pan or pots will need more time to heat up.
Electric stovetops are more energy-efficient than gas. However, induction stovetops are the most efficient of the three types. When it comes to fire risk, electric stovetops are also safer than gas. They do not have open flames. However, with electric stovetops, the surface gets hot, even after you turn them off. They will not be safe if you have children or pets in your Adelaide home.
Induction
When choosing stovetops for your Adelaide kitchen, induction models are the best. It does not matter if you are an experienced cook or just a beginner. Induction stovetops will make cooking, and cleaning afterwards, a breeze. They provide more precise temperature control than gas stovetops. That is why their popularity has been increasing greatly over the past years.
Induction stovetops are the most energy-efficient. Ninety per cent of their generated heat is absorbed by the food being cooked. Unlike electric stovetops, induction cooktops do not have burners beneath their smooth surface. Instead, they use electromagnetic energy to heat the cookware. That is why the surface of induction stovetops never gets hot. Consequently, your Adelaide kitchen will stay cool while you are cooking. You will not have to dread cooking on a hot summer day in Adelaide.
