Electric Stove

Types of Electric Stove

The basic electric stove is available in three options, a coil heating element on top, a smooth top typically made out of ceramic glass with hidden heat element or an Induction cooker. Electric kitchen stoves are closely related to induction cookers as both need electricity to function. While the electric burners use heated coils to convert electricity into heat energy, induction cookers use electromagnetism to cook food. Induction cookers use high-frequency and powerful electromagnets instead of heated coils but both come under the electric category. 

Electric Stove vs Gas Stove

Electric kitchen stoves heat up slower than the gas stoves and also take more time to cool down when turned off. While the initial buying cost of an electric stove is cheaper than its gas counterpart but the functional cost is way more of an electric kitchen stove, considering electricity prices in Pakistan. While cooking on a gas stove is much more even and faster, there are a lot of safety hazards involved with them like gas leakage that can prove to be fatal for the dwellers. Also, gas stoves have been known to explode with a build-up of gas, something unheard of electric kitchen stoves. On the downside, electric burners and stoves need electricity to run and considering the shortage of electricity in Pakistan, this may lead to a lot of inconveniences.
