Yes, electric stoves are easier to use than gas stoves. However, if there is a power outage, you will not be able to use your electric range, but with a gas range, you will still be able to manually light it.

It is cheaper go cook with gas. First, much electricity is generated by using gas for fuel, thus adding to the cost of electricity. Second, gas flame is highly adjustable and can be made to fit exactly under the pot or pan you are using, thus reducing heat loss. Third, gas heat is instantly available, whereas electric elements take time to heat.

Gas is also eco-friendly as much electricity is still generated by burning coal and thus creates much pollution.

Choosing an electric or gas cooker for a kitchen depends on someones preference or past experience with them. The cost of using an electric cooker will be more expensive than using a gas cooker. However, gas cookers have uneven temperatures while gas cookers have a more even temperature when cooking.

The difference in cost between electric kitchen stoves and those designed to run on gas is not a significant figure. The cost difference comes with the use of the oven. An electric version will be far more expensive to operate given current electricity costs.
