I have a gas range, is it worth it to use with that?
Do you live in a hot climate or cold?
I live in Houston Texas which is at the same latitude as Cairo. Daytime summer temperatures average between 90
o and 100
o Fahrenheit (32
o to 38
o centigrade) with 90% humidity. (This is the reason Yanks, especially Southwesterners, are so keen on barbeque. To avoid cooking fires inside during the summer.) So things that lessen the heat loads inside houses during the summer (convection ovens, microwave ovens, “George Foreman” type grills, and induction cooking) are greeted with enthusiasm.
In the United Kingdom, where there is almost always a slight chill in the air, this is less of a concern. In fact there is a brand of cookstove called AGA where there is a small fire continuously going. I understand these are desired because it helps keep the chill out of households.
I have one of these in my house. It’s called a Chambers Range. From late May to late October I do everything I can to avoid using it because of the heat it throws off.
Especially the broiler, which is frustrating because it does steaks so damn well.
So I have a convection, microwave, electric griller, and I am considering an induction “hotplate” like the Nuwave.
So the answer to your question depends on your climate.
