Gas or Electric Cooktops, which do I choose?
Gas Cooktops heat and cool quickly. Due to the flame being visible it can be controlled easily. Electronic ignition, low energy consumption, and high flame levels enable you to heat and boil water quickly. Electric Cooktops allow for lower temperatures than were traditionally available with gas. This can be handy when simmering soups or sauces. Keep in mind though, that Electric Eco plates retain heat for up to 45 minutes after they have been turned off and their flat surfaces must be handled carefully to prevent scratching and discoloration.
