Oven is a modern and stylish kitchen appliance, which quickly conquers the hearts of housewives. But which cabinet is better - electric or gas? We will try to solve this problem using the example of the main differences.
The difference is the first - the operating modes of
In this issue, the electric cabinet has an undeniable advantage, as it works on the principle of convection. What it is? The upper and lower heating elements work together with the fan, which accelerates the hot air( up to 200 degrees) throughout the entire area of the cabinet. Convection is necessary for making delicious dishes with a crispy crust( meat, chicken, pies, cupcakes).
It is also thanks to convection that you can prepare different dishes at different levels of the cabinet and each dish will be cooked well. In gas models, this principle of operation is not used. Why? For safety reasons, do not let the fan extinguish the open fire. Also, the principle of cooking at different levels is not used in gas cabinets.
The second difference is the control and programs of
. In this respect, the electric model will be pleased with existing programs and additional functions. For example, some cabinets are equipped with self-cooking modes - put a piece of meat in the oven, press the button, and the device will cook everything correctly and delicious, and after that will notify you with a sound signal and turn off on its own.
Gas models can also be equipped with a timer and temperature control, but can not surprise with built-in modes. Electrical cabinets are more accurate temperature adjustment, up to 5-10 degrees.
Advantages of the electric oven

- It is easy to clean, as there is no plaque, as when burning gas. Also the model can have a self-cleaning system

Advantages of

- electrical cabinet. Such a cabinet is customary and convenient for those who have only used the gas stove
- all their lifeThe speed of cooking is higher due to the fact that cooking on gas is comparable to cooking on an open fire. And the flame temperature is higher than the temperature of the heating element.
These are different, but worthy ovens. By the way, if you are thinking about buying a cabinet, the quality of the wiring in your home can be an important criterion. If you have an old and weak one, it is better to choose a gas model. If the house you have is new with good wiring - choose between the electric and gas model best, based on your requirements for the new technology.
