Many homeowners in Kamloops, Kelowna and Vernon are switching to gas stoves to take advantage of the efficiency, accuracy and economical benefits of this kitchen appliance.
There’s a reason the expression ‘cooking with gas’ has come to mean doing something perfectly. As family chefs in Kelowna and Vernon know, gas ranges deliver a heat that allows them to cook like the pros. But what gives this kitchen appliance an advantage over its electrical or induction counterparts?
Easy, even heat
Ignite the flame on a gas range, and in seconds, you’ve got enough heat to begin cooking your meal. Gas ranges are a must-have in restaurants because of how fast those flames heat up.
Many of today’s models, which are not your grandma’s gas range, let you ignite your flame quickly and easily with self-ignition from an electric spark, much like lighting your barbecue. No more continuously burning pilot lights.
Just the right temperature, every time
A gas stove’s heat is immediate, and it’s precise. Genier's Vernon appliance store is selling more gas ranges these days because cooks enjoy the accuracy and control of the heat.
A cooler kitchen
Summers are hot in the Okanagan. Appliances such as a gas range help you keep your house cool because they heat up quickly and cool down faster than most electric ovens.
Efficiency
Cooks with big families love how this kitchen appliance allows them to cook so many more dishes at once. Today’s gas stoves can come with six burners and a removable griddle plate for frying pancakes. And with the self-cleaning function, clean-up is a breeze.
Long-term savings
The price tag of a gas range might be a little more than a conventional electric oven at the start, but you’ll quickly recover the cost. Modern gas ranges, which have cut out the constantly burning and gas-wasting pilot light, use much less energy—sometimes half the cost to cook with electricity. Plus, gas ranges tend to be long-lasting as well as nearly maintenance-free.
Peace of mind
Power outages are no match for a gas range. When the power goes out and you’ve got a gas stove, you can still cook food for your family as long as you have a good supply of natural gas or propane.
