You wanna read the Gas vs Electric thread on SPS for a proper 'cooking' argument

LeperousDust · 07-07-2008, 19:18

Oh christ don't bring gas vs electric over here. How many rounds do you have if you cut a sandwhich in half?

Electric is less controllable than gas

BUT THE BOIL OVER TESTS ICRAIG, THE BOIL OVER IT SAYS NO

The tests says it will boil a pan of water faster. That makes sense as there's a large contact area.

However for controllability you can either get a £40 gas or a £600 electric. It is only the stupidly expensive electric hobs that are even worth thinking about. I know which I would rather have..

Unfortunately, dmpoole says you're wrong. He worked with cookers for 27 years and his dad invented induction hobs or something.

DO NOT QUESTION THE POOLE.

(seriously, find the thread and read it, it's gold)

I have I posted in it...
Cheap electric hobs are rubbish. Expensive ones are good. But still I would rather save the £500 and have a gas one.
Induction are the most controllable and safest but again even more expensive.

I figured you hadn't read it seeing as you seem to be arguing with me, when I was one of the most vocal pro gas posters in that thread

Basically it just varies a lot, we've got electric in our flat here (right next to the boiler, work that out). Its great, heats up in no time and i've never had a problem with it, but then i go home and realise just how **** our electric is at home, and i'm willing to bet my parents paid more for their hob than our landlord did on ours

Where-as gas is pretty much just given and consistent. I think almost all cases now days though it really doesn't matter. Reduction is cool, but obviously silly expensive and also more prone to failing (from what I've read, but this is because its newer technology too). Right i'm really not debating this after this thread (probably)
