Operating cost between Gas/Electric Cookers

The price differences between gas and electricity usage varies from regions, countries, down to service providers. For instance, commercial induction cookers are extremely popular among the Chinese catering Industry due to the price advantage in electricity. In contrast, gas appliances are considered more economical than electric appliances in Australia. Although, the vast price range might different, and might not provide the most economic benefits in some regions or countries. However, induction adopters would still choose induction over its safer operation, precise temperature control, smart cooking abilities and more.

 

Notably, according to researcher Sweeney (2014) the thermal efficiency of induction cookers can convert more than 90% of heat whereas 74% for traditional electric and only 40% in gas cooking. Hence, the implementation of induction cooker ensures the maximum thermal efficiency by directly heating under the pan to shorten cooking time.
