If your home runs both gas and electric, the cheaper option for using units for your cooker is gas. Here a KitchenSolution.co.uk we give an unbiased view on all products, just guiding you towards making the right choice, but if you are looking for a hassle free, efficient option for your cooker, then we would recommend choosing gas when purchasing your next cooker.
Deciding which gas range cooker is for you
When the time comes for you to replace your cooker, you’ll find so many different makes and models, all of which are not particularly cheap! Obviously you will have a budget in mind, but do remember that a gas cooker purchase is made very rarely in your life, so going for something cheaper is not always cost effective. If you pay a little more for a quality cooker, it is likely to last far longer.
As all kitchen appliances these days, you can get your gas cooker in almost any style, from traditional farmhouse country through to contemporary stainless steel, you will certainly find a cooker to suit your kitchen. Gas cookers benefit from instant heat from the hob and some even come with special features such as an extra-fast wok burner or cast iron griddle convenient for cooking fish or meat.
Depending on the size of your kitchen, you will also need to decide the size of cooker you require. Do you spend much time cooking? Are you cooking for just yourself or a whole family? Here a KitchenSolution.co.uk we give you this general tip – a 2-3 cubic foot oven is perfect for one to two people, 3-4 cubic feet for a small family and a capacity above 4 to cater for a larger family.
There are a few disadvantages though to choosing a gas cooker. Firstly, gas ovens are known not to heat evenly inside, meaning that rotating your food is a must and more care has to be taken when cooking produce such as chicken, due to its unhealthiness if under cooked. Also, gas cookers are in general more expensive then their electric counterparts, but this is mainly off set as they are more efficient, so in the long run, your money is made back but the initial outlay is more. Then finally, gas cookers have been notoriously hard to clean, due to food getting under the burners, but fortunately these days more and more gas cookers come with sealed burners making cleaning that much easier!.
A gas cooker is a fantastic purchase for those who really enjoy the art of creating lovely dishes. With so many options available here at KitcheSolution.co.uk, we are sure you will find the right product for your kitchen
