Gas stoves have some advantages over electric ones. Since the fire breaks out immediately when the stove is turned on, the first advantage is saving time. When using electric stoves, you need to wait until the burner warms up to the required temperature. Also, when the gas stove is turned off, the fire immediately disappears, while for an electric stove, it takes time for the stove to cool. In addition, on fire, food is cooked much faster than on a hot plate.
Thanks to such differences, people do not stop using gas stoves. Manufacturers are trying to invent new types of such equipment. Because of this factor, a problem arises - how to choose a gas stove.
