There has been an increase in overall propane use in recent years. According to IBISWorld, in 2022 the propane industry was expected to grow by 11.2% in that year alone. If you're new to propane service, then you might be wondering how cooking with this gas is different from an electric cooktop. Let's take a closer look.

You'll Enjoy Greater Temperature Control

One of the most challenging aspects of an electric range is the lack of temperature control that this option provides. When you have propane service for your stove, the amount of temperature control that you'll enjoy is far greater. Rather than just having settings, such as low, medium, and high, you'll enjoy full control over the height and strength of the flame. This allows you to exert greater control over the intensity of the flame and how quickly or slowly food items are cooked.

They're More Cost Efficient

Electric ranges can take a few minutes or longer to heat up. This means that you're using a lot of electricity that isn't productive. With a propane stove, there isn't any wait since the flame fires immediately and provides heat right away. Due to the immediate and intense heat, you'll have a lower cost per meal than when cooking with an electric range. Your propane stove will be a joy to cook with, and you'll have meals prepared in a shorter amount of time at a lower cost. It's a win-win situation!

Your Oven Will Have a Higher Moisture Level

Have you ever noticed that food cooked in your electric oven often dries out rather quickly? That's due to a lack of moisture. Fortunately, propane gas contains moisture in its makeup which is released into the oven as it cooks. This means that your food will remain moist and tasty. Anyone who's struggled to keep their Thanksgiving turkey from drying out will appreciate this benefit of propane cooking. Between your stove and your oven, you'll be delighted by just how much fun cooking large meals is again.
