In general, gas ranges offer more precise temperature control than electric ranges. They also have no cool-down time, so you can cut the heat to a dish instantly without having to take it off the burner. Gas ranges can come with sealed ceramic burners that allow the easy cleaning of electric burners, while offering the control of gas. Some gas ranges come with specialty burners that allow you to do specific kinds of cooking. A sealed “simmer” burner will let you cook delicate ingredients like chocolate or sugars without a double boiler. Other “high output” burners can deliver a scorching 15,000 BTUs. This lets you boil water for pasta, heat oil for deep-frying, or any other task that requires a lot of heat, fast. |
