Is it easier to cook in electric ovens or gas?

Answer 1

Not if were comparing them "apples to apples". If it's the same brand and same age and the thermostats are accurately calibrated, the would cook at the same pace. However, typically an electric oven takes longer to pre-heat than gas, especially electric ovens with an inclosed bake element. As a side note, many people like an electric oven better than gas because electric tends to be more consistent at holding temp during baking than gas, and it doesn't dry food as much. I do have to say, there's nothing like artisan bread out of a gas oven. I feel gas is far superior for making artisan breads, but overall electric is preferred.

Answer 2

Ah, the age old question. Really, these days, they are the same. What do you prefer is more the question? Used to be that gas would heat up quicker, the flame is instant and the old burners have to take a while to heat up. Spend some money on a newer unit and those puppies are instant and and ready to go. I prefer the consistency of electric, but then again, I'm an electrician.

YOU ARE RIGHT... BETTER USE ELECTRIC STOVE OR OVEN -- YOU KNOW WHY? I HAVE KNOWN MANY AND SOME ARE MY FRIENDS WORKING 15 - 20 YEARS IN AN LPG BUSINESS AS SALESMAN, TECHNICIANS THEY SHARE SOME SECRETS TO ME WHY THEY DON'T WANT TO USE THEIR OWN PRODUCT BUT CHOOSE TO USE ELECTRIC STOVE. THEY CAN GIVE GAS STOVES GIFTS DURING CHRISTMAS TO THEIR CLIENTS BUT THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO USE IT TO THEIR FAMILY FOR A CONTROVERTIAL NEVER BEEN DISCUSSED SCIENTIFIC REASON WHICH I WILL SHARE LATER ON.

Answer 3

It is easier to cook with gas ovens because they are faster at cooking and boiling water, but they can also cook too quickly and burn your food. The recommendation would be to have a gas stove.

Answer 4

The cooking times between gas and electric ovens don't necessarily vary greatly, however with a gas oven the temperature seems to go up a little quicker. When cooking on the stove top it seems that gas stoves are quicker than electric ovens.

Answer 5

They can pretty much reach the same temperatures.

If a recipe calls for a temp of 425 in a gas oven, do you use the same temp in an electric oven. I thought electric ovens cook faster.

Answer 6

Doesn't really matter much. Gas has a bit faster response time(=goes cooler or hotter faster), but that's about it.

Answer 7

The main difference between gas and electric stoves is the ease of changing temperature. A gas stove can be turned on and off instantly whilst an electric stove will need time to cool down.

Answer 8

Personally, I believe that gas is better. It will heat more evenly and costs less money.

Answer 9

Gas by far.
