Introduction to Cooking with Gas

Many prefer cooking with gas due to its significant benefits over electric stoves in both residential and commercial settings.

Gas stove tops offer quick temperature adjustments, heating and cooling promptly for precise control during cooking tasks like simmering, sautéing, or stir-frying.

Pennant Hills Plumbing, as experts in Sydney’s gas and electric appliance servicing, recognises the exceptional heat control benefits an efficient gas cooktop or range brings to your kitchen, far surpassing electric stoves. As you’re cooking with your gas cooktop, whether in a professional setting or aspiring to elevate your home kitchen with new gas appliances, our expertise ensures a safe and hassle-free experience.

Precise Temperature Control

One of the main benefits gas cooktops offer over electric ranges is the ability to precisely control temperatures. Gas cooktops uniquely offer this immediate responsiveness, unlike their electric counterparts.

Gas burners in a gas oven heat up and control the heat better than electric options, cooling down almost instantly, allowing cooks to make small temperature adjustments to achieve the perfect simmer or low boil. According to the American Gas Association, gas stove temperatures can change by up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit in less than 30 seconds.

Gas cooking accelerates food preparation, perfect for delicate tasks like simmering stocks, poaching, and tempering chocolate, without the risk of overcooking.

You can also sear meat at high heat before quickly lowering the temperature to finish cooking it on a gentler up side. Cooking with gas is appreciated for its superior heat control, enhancing a wide range of cooking techniques more effectively than alternative methods.

As licenced gas fitters, Pennant Hills Plumbing specialises in the safe installation of gas line systems and appliances tailored to your cooking needs. Our expertise ensures your commercial gas cooking stoves are set up for precise flame control right from the start.

Faster Heating and Cooking Times

One of the biggest advantages of gas stoves is their ability to heat up extremely quickly.

Gas burners heat to full cooking temperature in under a minute, outpacing electric cooktops which take several minutes to warm up. The immediate high heat from gas means faster boiling points and shorter meal preparation as cookware and ovens preheat more rapidly.

An immediate open flame from gas cooktops often results in reduced cooking times. One study by the American Gas Association found compelling evidence why a gas stove is a better choice for tasks like boiling water or baking a frozen pizza, as these tasks involving the stove’s heating elements were completed 25-30% faster than on electric models. The quick heat delivery shortens the time needed to cook everything from stir-fries to steaks.

While electric installations have their merits, at Pennant Hills Plumbing, we use our gas expertise to illustrate how our gas range installation delivers fast and powerful heating performance. Our gas fitting services ensure your cooktop or range is set up for maximum convenience and speed.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

Gas appliances boast inherent energy efficiency over electric models, showcasing gas as the smarter choice for energy-conscious consumers. The Department of Energy states that gas stoves convert 75% of energy to heat, compared to electric ovens achieving just 40%, demonstrating gas as the superior energy-efficient choice. This makes modern gas cooktops and gas ranges over twice as efficient at utilising energy than electric ovens.

According to the U.S.

Gas’s heightened efficiency leads to reduced operating costs.

Households can save approximately $120 to $250 yearly on energy bills by choosing a gas stove over an electric one.

At Pennant Hills Plumbing, we specialise in the installation of energy-efficient your natural gas lines, cooktops and ranges tailored to your cooking needs and budget. Our experts can assess your setup to ensure you reap the cost-effective benefits of gas cooking, while prioritising safety and convenience. Investing in an efficient LPG gas system will provide long-term savings on your energy expenses.

Flexible and Versatile Open Flame Cooking

The unmatched versatility of gas stoves for a variety of cooking methods stands as one of their key advantages.

Gas burners, in contrast to the metal coils or flat glass surfaces of electric stovetops, offer an open flame suitable for any cookware shape and size. You can use round pots, square pans, large griddles, small saucepans, pots pans alike, stainless steel cookware, specialty tandoor ovens and more – if it’s ovenproof, you can use it on a gas stove.

This adaptability lends gas cooking to endless culinary applications. You can go from a rolling boil to a delicate poach instantly. An open flame’s versatility enhances performance in cooking techniques ranging from stir-frying to pan-roasting, as well as barbecuing and baking.

Gas flames distribute heat around cookware evenly, perfect for simmering, frying, and precision charring of ingredients.

Contact Pennant Hills Plumbing for insights into our expert fitting and installation of gas lines, cooktops, and ranges for the best open flame cooking experience. With the proper setup and regular maintenance, cooking with gas provides you with the flexibility to whip up a delicious meal, regardless of the recipe.

Let us help you get your ideal gas stove option that’s both safe and versatile for your cooking needs and space.

Reliability and Ability to Cook During Outages

A significant advantage of gas stoves is their operability during power outages. Natural gas lines and appliances operate independently from the electrical grid, so gas burners remain fully functional whether your power is on or off.

This gives gas stoves a crucial advantage to turn out reliable for everyday cooking needs as well as emergency situations. You can easily prepare a meal without concern for storms, blackouts, or other disruptions that can knock out your electricity.

The independence of gas systems allows for effortless transition of food between different cooking zones. Outdoor kitchens equipped with gas grills, cooktops, and ovens remain usable year-round regardless of weather or darkness thanks to the self-contained nature of gas appliances.

At Pennant Hills Plumbing, we specialise in the installation of gas lines and appliances set up to keep your cooking capacity secure, even during outages. We also provide maintenance checks and repairs to ensure your existing gas systems, including all components within oven cavities, continue to function reliably for cooking even during power interruptions. Our expertise gives you peace of mind knowing you can cook with gas no matter the circumstances.

Tips for Safe and Efficient Gas Cooking

Safe and efficient cooking with gas necessitates adherence to specific guidelines:

Regular Maintenance

Regularly schedule inspections for your gas appliances to address leaks or faults promptly. Pennant Hills Plumbing can make sure your gas system stays running optimally with reliable servicing.

Ventilation

Equip your kitchen with a rangehood to effectively ventilate gas fumes. Operate the rangehood whenever using your gas stove to enhance the climate around your pan and ensure efficient extraction of cooking fumes.

Flame Control

Adjust flames to prevent them from creeping up the sides pan, ensuring they only cover the bottom of your cookware. Lower flames when simmering or cooking delicate foods.

Cleanliness

Maintain clean burners to ensure unobstructed gas flow. Wipe up spills immediately to avoid baked-on residue and potential blockages affecting the pilot light.

Awareness

Pay attention and remain in the kitchen when cooking on a gas stove. Never leave burners on and unattended.

Adhering to these gas safety and efficiency tips will maximise your cooking experience while ensuring complete control over your appliances.

Comparing Gas to Electric and Induction Cooking

Various cooktop types, such as gas, electric, induction, and dual fuel ranges, each present unique kitchen benefits:

  • Gas outperforms other cooking options, providing precision temperature control, swift heating, and flexible flame cooking at reduced energy costs.
  • Electric cooktops provide a flat surface for easy movement of pots and precise digital controls, yet they have slower heating times.
  • Induction cooktops heat very rapidly and offer digital precision, but require special induction-compatible cookware.

Over ten years, gas ovens and cooktops can equate to energy cost savings of around $1200-1500 compared to electric ranges.

At Pennant Hills Plumbing, our expertise can guide you to select from ranges featuring options tailored to your home kitchen, cooking style, and budget. Specialising in the safe installation and repair of gas stoves, we ensure that you receive optimal performance from these cost-effective, versatile appliances.
