Electrification: Cooking
There are a couple of options for going all-electric when replacing gas ovens and stoves. Getting gas out of your kitchen is both good for climate, and for indoor air quality.
Conventional electric stoves
This type of stove (either exposed, or under glass) works by heating metal coils to heat your food. Widespread, these are the type of electric stove that most people are familiar with.
Induction stoves
This kind of electric stove-top has quietly become more popular than gas for pro chefs. Much more efficient than either gas or conventional electric stoves, they use a magnetic field to “induce” heating in a steel pan sitting on the surface, and do not waste energy heating the cook surface itself or the nearby air. They also heat up much faster. While marginally more expensive than other electric stoves, they are generally cheaper to own in the long run.
