Cooking with Natural or Propane Gas has many benefits over standard methods. Gas burners require no wait time to pre-heat. There’s no comparison when boiling water, gas burners are much faster than their electrical counterparts. Gas burners also cool down much quicker than electric burners or coils. Gas cooktops are generally very easy to clean and very low maintainance. Many of the newer gas cooktops come with a “Power Burner”, an exceptionally high BTU gas burner specifically desgined for quickly boiling water. Modern gas powered ranges do not have continously lit pilot lights, instead they utilize an electrical ignitor, erasing all of the risks associated with older gas cooking appliances. When purchasing a gas powered range, consider the BTU’s load it will require and consult a Gas Piping Professional to be sure your current gas line can handle the additional load. If the current system cannot handle the extra BTU load or you do not have a gas line installed in your kitchen for a gas range, a licensed Gas Piper can add to or upsize your gas lines as required. New products such as Flexible Stainless Steel Gas Piping make adding a new gas line much more affordable!
