home and garden home appliancesIs dual fuel better than gas?
Last Updated: 11th April, 2020
The difference between the gas and dual fuel ranges is that gas ranges heat the cooktop and oven with gas, while dual fuel ranges offer an electric oven and a cooktop with gas burners. Gas cooktops are considered faster and more efficient than electric cooktops, while electric ovens cook more evenly than gas ovens.

In this manner, what is a gas and dual fuel range?
Simply put, it's a range (a.k.a. stove) with a gas flame cooktop coupled with an electric oven. As the name suggests, these ranges use two different fuel types as opposed to an all gas range that powers both the cooktop and the oven with gas.
Similarly, do chefs prefer gas or electric ovens? Natural gas ovens are almost always cheaper to run than electric ovens, often saving up to 30%. Gas is a more eco-friendly option than electric ovens. Gas ovens have fewer parts and tend to last longer. Many chefs prefer gas stoves as they tend to heat faster.
