The best gas stove options for your kitchen in 2023

When you install a gas stove in your kitchen this year, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner! 

How do I pick the best gas stove? 

Winter is fast approaching in South Africa and this means that hearty soups and stews will be on the menu before we know it. While these comfort foods take time to prepare and enjoy, using a gas stove to cook them or reheat leftovers is much more efficient and inexpensive than using an electric stove. Gas stoves have evolved over the years to fit into the modern concept of chic kitchens. Traditional gas stoves lost popularity with the advent of technology, but never left the restaurant kitchens or the homes of chefs worldwide.

Look at installing one that flows with the theme of your kitchen decor and will complement your kitchen cupboards. 

Why should I change from an electric to a gas stove? 

Gas stoves are not only convenient in speeding up your cooking time but are also a handy solution to avoiding the extra food costs that come with load shedding. With a gas stove, you are still able to cook or heat food up at your regular meal times, eliminating the need to spend additional money on fast food or dining out. You will also save money on your electricity bill.

A typical household kitchen will need about four burners to cook a meal simultaneously. Gas stove burners can be installed in different sizes, just like electric stove plates with the added benefit of consistent heat. This ensures your food cooks evenly every time. This level of heat distribution is rapid and provides an immediate opportunity for temperature changes. With an electric stove, you will often have to move pots and pans around while you adjust the temperature as it is a more gradual process. This not only wastes valuable electricity but also releases extra heat into the kitchen. During summer, this can be an uncomfortable, unwelcome experience and will cause you to spend more money on cooling the kitchen down again. 

Which gas stove brands are the most reliable? 

Depending on your specific needs and how often you cook, certain gas stove brands will be more suited to your lifestyle than others. If you cook every day it is wise to invest in good quality brands that are known for their longevity and style. The burners on most gas stoves are made by SABAF. SABAF produces some of the world’s best components for gas appliances. They are experts in manufacturing and boast innovative designs.

With reliable warranties and trusted company names, these are some of the gas stove manufacturers you should consider investing in: 

• Bosch 

• Smeg 

• AEG 

• Elba

• Totai 

• Defy 

These brands offer a combination of built-in and free-standing options for your gas stove. Select the best fit for your kitchen according to your budget and aesthetic and get cooking!
