Propane in Your Home: COOKTOPS/OVENS
Whether you're a master chef preparing a seven course
dinner, or a complete novice trying to burn water; you should be using
propane. Instant
on and instant off; propane can instantly go from boil to simmer without
the carryover heat associated with electric ranges. It's no wonder that
ninety-seven percent of professional chefs prefer to cook with gas.
Propane
cooking appliances cover a wide spectrum, from low-cost economy models
to deluxe units that combine every imaginable convenience,
efficiency, and cleanliness feature. The wide variety of ranges, ovens,
and cooktops available today can give home owners a choice
of unique and functional kitchen designs. There are freestanding,
slide-in, built-in, and console models with high ovens, or single
ovens; models with waist-high broilers and microwave ovens; self-cleaning
ovens; pilotless top and oven burners; and convection ovens.
Various
energy-savings features (such as pilotless ignition and improved insulation)
are available on propane appliances. These features can reduce gas
consumption by 30-50 percent, further increasing propane's energy
cost advantages over electricity.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it could cost consumers twice as much to operate their range, water heater, dryer or furnace with electricity than with propane gas.
