97% of Professional Chefs Prefer Cooking with Gas
YOU WILL TOO. Although you might spend less time in the kitchen than a professional chef, you’ll still appreciate the advantages of cooking with propane.
Propane cooking appliances cover a wide spectrum, from low-cost economy models to deluxe units that combine every imaginable cooking convenience and energy-saving feature. The wide variety of ranges, ovens, and cooktops available today offer a choice of unique and functional kitchen designs. There are freestanding, slide-in, built-in, and console models with high ovens or single ovens; there are models with waist-high broilers and microwave ovens, self-cleaning ovens, pilotless top and oven burners, and convection ovens.
Propane gas ranges or stoves offer faster, more precise temperature control than electric units. This allows adjusting from a boil to simmer in seconds.

These features can reduce gas consumption by 30-50 percent, further increasing propane’s cost advantage over electricity.
