Cooking With Gas? Include A Range Hood In Your Kitchen Design

The controversy stirred by Trumka's comments was further diminished when the chair of the Consumer Product Safety Commission Alexander Hoehn-Soric clarified the government’s intent by stating instead of proposing a ban on gas stoves, the Commission wanted to increase research efforts to identify how to minimize potentially hazardous effects of cooking with gas. An easy way to avoid potential problems is to include the installation a range hood in your kitchen design.

Cooking with gas is favored by approximately 40% of Americans. It is a preferred method, especially among avid cooks and home chefs in Boston, MA because gas makes it easier and faster to reach and maintain desired temperatures, offers more versatility for grilling, searing and simmering, and, in most cases, gas stoves and cooktops are easier to clean. 

Thanks to technological advances there are electric options that provide similar benefits to cooking with gas that have been embraced by many homeowners in Boston, MA. For homeowners in Boston, MA that want the performance of gas in an electric alternative, we often recommend induction cooktops and stoves. They offer even more precise temperature control than gas and heat up to the desired temperature in a few seconds. When you turn off an induction burner, the heat stops immediately eliminating the possibility of overcooking, burning, or pots boiling over.

Energy efficiency is another benefit of induction cooking that is favored by homeowners in Boston, MA. Induction appliances are also safer.There is no chance of a fire or accidentally burning oneself because the cooking surface remains cool. Only the pots and pans get hot. As a result, induction appliances are easier to clean and safer to use around children.

Unlike gas, induction cooking does not emit anything into the air and induction appliances automatically shut off when a pot or pan is removed from the cooking element, eliminating the possibility of accidents that can occur if you forget to turn a gas or electric cooktop off.
