Gas stove ~ first timer

mindi1, Aug 28, 7:01am
After owning my own place for 25 years I am moving to a rental ~ v sad situation / leaky building. Only up to this is that I have always wanted gas cooking and now I will have it.
What do I need to know! Will all my existing pots and pans be suitable!

Yes, but be alert ,gas is far faster than most of the other cook tops and you could end up with burnt pots.

Loved cooking on gas but it was a pig to clean.

Certainly you have to keep on top of it wipe down every time cover pots etc but it is awesome to cook with I love mine, while its easier to burn the pots if you forget by the same token you also have much more control and even cooking when frying etc.

Your normal cookware will be fine.

Love my gas. Simmering can be a problem. Easily solved with a simmer mat available from f&p. Cost $20 and they sent it too me.

I have been cooking with gas for 25 years now and would never go back to electric, it is very fast but after a while you will get used to it, you will find you have much more control with gas than with electricity. I have a stainless hob and it is the easiest thing to clean.

We have recently bought a 600mmIndesit gas hob and oven. The top is easy to keep clean. I wish I had a fan forced oven but they only had that in a stainless steel which I did not want.
