Cooking utensils are essential for kitchen space and must be used for daily cooking. However, there are many types of cookware on the market, and they vary in price and effect. With the development of the times, many small-sized families prefer induction hobs, which are light and compact and do not take up space. As the current popular mainstream cooking hob, induction hob, and gas hob have their advantages, which one is better?
Advantages of induction hob
Induction hobs have many advantages. First, it has multiple functions to meet various needs of home steaming, boiling, stewing, and frying. Second, it is easy to clean. The induction cooker is small and has a smooth surface, and the heating area is only the size of the bottom of the pot. It is convenient to clean after use and will not accumulate oil stains.
There is no open flame during use, which can reduce the pollution of the kitchen. In addition, the most significant advantage is that it is safer to use; unlike gas hob, there is a risk of accidental leakage. The induction hob has a variety of safety protection measures, and the panel does not generate heat during use. So the induction hobs can significantly reduce the chances of burns while cooking and reduces the risk of other gas stove-related incidents. Even if there are elderly and children at home, it is more worry-free. And portability is also a relatively obvious advantage of the portable induction hob.
Disadvantages of the induction hob
The induction cooker uses electromagnetic induction to make the conductor generate eddy current heat, thereby heating the food. This work will generate a small amount of radiation, but the amount of radiation is not enough to threaten the human body.
But any electrical appliance that works with electricity produces radiation. The radiation emitted by the induction cooker is low-frequency radiation, that is, non-ionizing radiation, and the amount of radiation is meager. This level of radiation causes no damage to cells and genetic material, and no experiments to date have shown that its accumulation can have severe effects on the body.
Advantages of gas hob
Apparently gas hobs are mainly heated by gas, while induction hob is heated by electricity. Therefore, it is more economical to use a gas hob. The use of a gas hob is also comprehensive, which can meet the different cooking needs of family members. In addition, the use of a gas hob for cooking is also relatively efficient, which is very suitable for home use or restaurant use.
Disadvantages of gas hob
Due to the structural characteristics of the gas stove, after a long time of use, a lot of oil stains and dirt will condense on the surface of the gas stove, which is more troublesome to clean.
There are some accidents such as poisoning and suffocation caused by gas leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the gas hob when using it to avoid accidents and tragedies. Even as modern gas hob become safer, there's no guarantee that the gas in your home won't leak. Therefore, it is essential to open the windows for ventilation.
Today, most households choose to use induction hobs for cooking. Its appearance has dramatically changed our kitchen environment; the method of use is also more convenient and straightforward and made our cooking more efficient and faster. The safety performance is better.
