Electric Stove . . .?
Can I use a glass frying pan on an electric stove?
No it will break.
Why does my electric stove smoke when I boil water?
I've never had a problem with this using a gas stove, but now I've moved to an apartment, and it has an electric stove. Any advice about this is appreciated. Thanks.
You have to make sure your electric parts that you set your pan on is clean, nothing can be on them. and make sure the bottom of your pans are grease free and completely dry. I had that problem when I went from gas to electric, always clean them after every use.
What is entailed in removing an electric stove and replacing it with a gas one?
I would like to remove my electric stove and replace it with a gas stove. We moved into this home a few months ago, and it is about 20 years old. I prefer a gas cooktop and the electric one we have gets on high and takes about 10 minutes to reduce the heat...I burn everything, and I am a good cook!! :)
Who would I need to call to get estimates and about how much would it cost?
Thank you.
The prior answer is correct except that the vent to the outside air may not be necessary. I am a volunteer builder with Habitat for Humanity in southern California, and in over 30 houses I've been involved with in the last seven years, all have had gas ranges and none have had vents to the outside. And all have been built to code, which in our case is generally the California Building Code. An outside vent may only be a local requirement. Since you should obtain a building permit before modifying your gas lines, your inspector will gladly advise you.
How to use an electric stove?
I'm used to a gas stove, but my new apt comes with electric.
I usually cook in thin stainless steel pots (from India) and non-stick frying pans. My freind said I might have to get copper-bottomed pans and stuff. Is that true or can I use my old stuff?
Also, what about round bottomed pans? Should I get flat ones instead?
And last, what about baking? I have glass cakeware, aluminum cake pans, regular baking sheets, and those foily bread pan things. Are these ok?
Is electric slower, faster, uneven, or anything else I need to know?
Ahhh yes...the same dilemma I faced when I moved out of my house, which had a gas stove (really nice one, too) to the current house I am in, which has an electric stove.
Electric stoves are not the greatest compared to gas ones frankly because it takes a while for the heating element to get hot, and a while for it to cool down after you've reduced the heat, making controlling the temperature slightly difficult. It is a pure fact of physics that metals take a while to absorb and release heat. Which is why a flame from a gas stove is better for controlling the heat because when the knob is turned, the flame is made smaller instantly. This tends to make certain cooking methods, like frying, a little more challenging because you don't have that instant control over how much heat you're getting.
Electric stoves also require flat-bottoms on your pots, simply out of the fact that the cooking surface is shaped that way. You can still use your old stuff--I use a stainless steel pot as well as regular non-stick frying pans on my stove, and for as long as you're careful, you'll be fine and won't burn your food.
Judging by your comment about having pots from India, I'm assuming you're from there, too. I'll be honest, being Asian myself, electric stoves aren't the greatest for cooking our type of food. But with a little experimentation and adaptation, you'll eventually be able to. It just takes a few burnt meals before you get there! Good luck trying stuff out with the stove!
How does a gas stove differ from an electric one?
I only have ever cooked on an electric stove...what does a gas stove do differently? Do you have to do something really different when going to cook something?
1. Gas is usually a cheaper fuel for cooking vs. electricity.
2. Electric burners stay hot WAY longer than gas burners after they are turned off (burn hazard).
3. Foods cook faster on electric stoves than gas stoves when on the same setting (like medium). Be careful you don't burn things if you are used to a gas stove.
4. You can use gas stoves during a power outage! You have to light the eyes manually but it's saved my family from going hungry during several power outages!
That's all I got!
