What are the advantages and disadvantages of electric burners as oppose to gas burners?

Electric burners have the advantages of reducing fire hazard due to the lack of open flame, not needing to have a gas line to run the burner, and eliminating the risk of a gas leak from the burner. The disadvantages of an electric burner are a longer heat-up time for the burner, less precision when cooking since the burner takes longer to respond to changes in heat setting changes, and the risk of burn since the burner surface stays hot relatively longer after shut-off.


Why won't the burner of an electric range give you a shock?

The burner of an electric range is just a giant resistor. Like all resistors, they have a special coating on the outside to help protect the resistor from the outside environment. This coating is normally made of a type of ceramic, and is a poor electric conductor. Because of this, electricity will have a hard time making a complete circuit (which is necessary for one to get shocked) between the burner and your body.While you will not get electrocuted when you touch the burner, you will still get burned. As such, refrain from touching the burner, as it may result in a very painful experience. And be careful when around an electric stove; even though the burner may not be glowing red, there is still a possibility that the burner is hot. Skin damage does not require very high temperatures, and a burner can easily cause serious burns when you are not careful.
