Is it better to use an induction cooker or natural gas for cooking at home?

Which is more economical, natural gas or induction cooker, can be compared with Mr. Chicken or Mr. Egg to some extent? And your girlfriend and mother fall into the water at the same time, who should be saved first? ...

Today, I will give you a tough look at the question of who saves more money, natural gas and induction cooker, the two enemies who seize the human kitchen!

Judging from the length of use

The power of induction cooker is generally between 800 watts and 2000 watts. One degree of electricity can work for 1000 watt electrical appliances for about one hour. According to the maximum power calculation, the power consumption of the induction cooker for one hour is 2 kWh.

According to the current electricity price of Guangdong residents, it is 0.48 yuan per hour, and the electricity fee for opening the induction cooker for one hour is 0.96 yuan.

Taking the cooking time of the induction cooker as two hours every day, the electricity fee generated by using the induction cooker every day is 1.92 yuan, which is about 57.6 yuan if it is calculated as 30 days a month.

If natural gas is used, the amount of natural gas used in one hour is about 0.4 cubic meters, or it is calculated according to the time of cooking with natural gas for two hours every day. The daily consumption of natural gas is 0.8 cubic meters, and the consumption of natural gas in a month is about 24 cubic meters based on 30 days in a month.

Based on the current price of natural gas for Guangdong residents of 2.28 yuan per cubic meter, the price of cooking with natural gas for one month is 54.72 yuan.

It can be seen that it saves 2.88 yuan per month compared with the induction cooker, calculated according to two hours a day. If you use it for more than two hours, the price gap will be even bigger.

Now, according to the aforementioned electricity charge of 0.48 yuan per kilowatt hour and natural gas charge of 2.28 yuan per cubic meter, heating 1 ton of water from 20℃ to 100℃ requires 49.776 yuan for electricity and 37.848 yuan for natural gas.

So how to save money depends on how long you usually cook or how much water you use, as well as the specific prices of local electricity and natural gas.

However, in daily use, in addition to paying attention to the price, other aspects also need specific consideration.

1, cooking habits.

Many people don't want to choose an induction cooker for cooking and cooking because the induction cooker is not suitable for the traditional cooking habits of China people.

The induction cooker needs a pan, and not all pans are suitable. When cooking, it is not as easy as using a traditional frying spoon, and the skill of tilting the spoon cannot be mastered at once, which will have some influence on the taste of cooking.

In addition, the vast majority of induction cookers in the market are generally divided into 60℃ insulation gear and 140℃, 160℃, 180℃ and 240℃ heating gear in temperature regulation, so the temperature sense in actual use is not accurate enough.

So about cooking habits, natural gas has an advantage.

2. Safe use.

As we all know, once natural gas leaks, the consequences are unimaginable. If it leaks for a long time and in large quantities, it is very likely to explode. However, as long as you remember to close the natural gas valve after use, the leakage problem can be avoided, but you must pay attention to the misoperation of children, and the flame of natural gas will burn people carelessly.

Regarding the safety hazards of induction cookers, people are generally worried about the radiation of induction cookers rather than the leakage.

The induction cooker has a certain amount of radiation, and the radiation of the induction cooker has a very important relationship with the pot it uses. The pot is used to absorb the magnetic field generated by the induction cooker. If the magnetic resistance of the pot material is small, it will strongly absorb the magnetic field. Consumers are advised to choose a large-size stainless steel pot.

Regarding the safety of use, any method needs attention. After all, life is priceless and safety comes first.

3. Use it beforehand and clean it up afterwards.

Although cooking habits, induction cooker is not as handy as natural gas, but it is light and easy to take, and can be used in any space at home. Combined with the functions of steaming, boiling, frying, stewing and rinsing, it can be said that it is very convenient in practical use.

In contrast, natural gas must generally be used on the fixed natural gas stove in the kitchen. After cooking, you should take the food somewhere else. It's inconvenient to eat hot pot and the like.

As for cleaning, the induction cooker is also very convenient, and a simple brush can generally solve the problem. However, the gas stove will turn black and greasy after being used for a long time, which is not only difficult to clean, but also affects the appearance.

However, whether it is an induction cooker or a gas stove, it is necessary to cooperate with a range hood to avoid the problem of oil smoke when cooking.

In short, no matter which way you choose in life, you need to consider your own situation before making a decision.
