If you love to watch cooking shows, you’ve likely noticed that many professional chefs use gas ranges. Propane offers many benefits that traditional electric cooktops can’t match. Whether you like exploring new dishes or want to save time while cooking for a large family, here are a few reasons to install propane appliances in your home.

Reasons to Cook With Propane

1. Greater Control

Propane burners activate immediately when you turn them on, so they’ll heat up quickly and cut down on cooking time. Once you begin, you’ll also have greater temperature control because you can visually monitor how big the flame is as you adjust the knob. Flames also heat the bottoms of pots and pans more evenly, ensuring your food cooks all the way through. Once you’re done, turn off the flame and see how quickly the cooktop cools. This reduces the chance of someone injuring themselves by touching the hot burner.

2. Eco-Efficiency

Propane is a clean-burning gas, meaning it releases minimal emissions. Because it also burns at a high temperature, it’s highly efficient. Together, these perks make it extremely eco-friendly compared with other energy sources. It’s also an abundant resource, meaning that you’ll always have access to it and that sourcing it won’t damage surrounding ecosystems. Enjoy cooking and knowing you’re helping protect the planet.

3. No Impact From Power Outages

Most propane-based kitchen appliances run independently from the electrical system. If a storm knocks out the power, or if there's an outage or rolling blackouts, you’ll still be able to cook. This can prevent you from wasting perishables.
