Gas Stoves<\/h2>\n<p>Gas stoves use an open flame fueled by natural gas or propane to heat cookware.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pros: Fast heating and precise temperature control. Works with most cookware.<\/li>\n<li>Cons: Requires a gas line. Open flames can pose safety risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"post-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-633416 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Electric stove\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" data-src=\"https:\/\/trimfaucet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Electric-stove.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>2. Electric Hotplates<\/h2>\n<p>These use metal coils or solid disks heated by electricity to transfer heat to cookware.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pros: Durable, works with any cookware, affordable.<\/li>\n<li>Cons: Slow heating and cooling. Heat adjustment is sluggish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"post-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-633415 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Glass ceramic\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" data-src=\"https:\/\/trimfaucet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Glass-ceramic.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>3. Radiant \/ Glass Ceramic<\/h2>\n<p>Glass ceramic stoves use electric heating elements under a smooth glass surface.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pros: Sleek look, easy to clean.<\/li>\n<li>Cons: Slow heating, retains heat after use, glass can scratch or crack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"post-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-633414 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Induction\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" data-src=\"https:\/\/trimfaucet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/induction.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>4. Induction<\/h2>\n<p>Induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to heat compatible cookware directly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pros: Fast, precise heating. Energy efficient. Safer because the cooktop stays cool.<\/li>\n<li>Cons: Requires induction-compatible cookware. Can hum or make noise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Configurations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Freestanding: Includes cooktop and oven in one appliance. Fits between cabinets or stands alone.<\/li>\n<li>Slide-in: Built-in design with front controls for a seamless look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Features<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Smart Controls: Allow remote monitoring and control via apps.<\/li>\n<li>Convection: Circulates air in the oven for even cooking.<\/li>\n<li>Air Fry: Uses hot air to crisp food without deep frying.<\/li>\n<li>Double Oven: Two ovens for cooking multiple dishes at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Choose<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Fuel Source: Gas (requires a gas line), electric (needs 240V), induction (requires compatible cookware).<\/li>\n<li>Cooking Style: Gas for responsive heat, electric for even baking, induction for efficiency and speed.<\/li>\n<li>Kitchen Layout: Consider appliance placement, control location, and available space.<\/li>\n<li>Capacity: Match burner and oven size to family needs.<\/li>\n<li>Ease of Cleaning: Smooth surfaces and self-cleaning features reduce cleanup time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedit.com\/types-of-stoves\/\">Different Types of Stoves and How They Work<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedit.com\">Homedit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are four main types of stoves used today: gas, electric (hotplates), radiant\/glass ceramic, and induction.
