Why an Electric Cooktop May Be the Best Investment in Your Home's Heating Strategy
There are many types of cooktops and each has their benefits and disadvantages. The most popular types of cooktops in the UK are the gas, electric and ceramic cooktops. There are other types that may be suitable for your kitchen, such as convection, electric and induction cooktops. However, before you consider any of these options, you should find out which type would best suit your kitchen and lifestyle.

Gas cooktops heat food by means of gas or a combustion ignition engine. This type of cooking is simple and quick and provides a lot of energy efficiency. The easy, intuitive controls make this type of cooktop extremely popular amongst chefs and cooks. Consider buying a gas cooktop that comes with sealed induction heating burners that avoid food becoming stuck below the burners, making cleaning after cooking less hassle-free.

Electric cooktops are very popular in modern homes. These cooktops heat up using electricity and gas in the case of gas cooktops. They are smooth on the surface, and generally are quite hardwearing. The lack of heat absorbing surfaces is a distinct advantage.


A disadvantage of electric cooktops is the ease of replacing burnt food. The lack of heat recovery means that the cookware can quickly reach temperature levels beyond what it was designed to handle. As a result, some food can overheat before being able to be safely removed from the pan. In the case of gas cooktops, this is not an issue, as the burner is permanently sealed and the gas will never leave the pan.

Ceramic cooktops are a new entrant in the market place. Ceramic cooktops are made from mica or clay. They are made to emulate the feel of stone or ceramic, but with the addition of gas and electric. These types of cooktops require different cooking practices. While they can be used for oven cooking, they are often better suited for frying and roasting.

Glass-ceramic cooktops are a relatively recent development. The biggest advantage to glass-ceramic cooktops is their similarity to ceramic cooktops, but with the added bonus of not requiring the same maintenance. The glass surface of glass-ceramic cooktops allows heat to be trapped inside, which prevents burning. The other major difference is that there are no gaps between the panels, which prevents steam from escaping. The surface of these cooktops is similar to the texture of stone or tile.

One of the biggest advantages to induction cooktops is the reduced energy needed for heating. The lack of electrical power means that the cooktop is much more energy efficient than a standard electric cooker. It also means that it will perform better than a typical home oven. This is due in part to the way that induction cooktops use a combination of heat and electrical signals to cook food faster and with less fuel.

Two of the biggest disadvantages to induction cooktops are that they can be loud and unpleasant to look at. Because of the nature of the ceramic or glass surface, heat can transfer to the cooktop's interior, sometimes causing a metallic smell to develop. Another disadvantage to induction cooktops is that they do not allow people to easily control the temperature. Although most models come with easy to follow temperature settings, if you need to fully lock in the optimum cooking temperature, you may have to purchase an additional thermometer or adjust the settings on your own.

As well as their high heat efficiency, some experts claim that electric cooktops are healthier than gas cooktops. Electric cooktops remove excess carbon dioxide from the air which is said to contribute to the formation of carbon monoxide in your home. However, there is still some scepticism surrounding the health benefits of electric cooktops. Most electric cooktops run on electricity and as such generate much more electricity than gas cooktops.

Despite the benefits, many homeowners opt for gas cooktops because they are less expensive. Electric cooktops are often more expensive to run and maintain than gas cooktops. They also have the disadvantage of using more gas than electric cooktops and so incur a greater impact on your household utility bill. Although it may seem more expensive, many families find the utility cost of a gas cooktop far less burdensome than the cost of an electric cooker.

If you are considering investing in an electric or gas range, consider having an electric cooktop installed. stoves cooktops and ovens The amount of heat your kitchen will produce will be less and you will not be adding any additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Although it may seem more expensive at first, electric cooktops are far more cost-effective over time. With regular maintenance, you can enjoy years of energy-efficient cooking.
