QUESTION:
How much does it cost to convert an electric stove to gas?
We have a gas line running beneath the current electric stove, but we would need a line up from the floor. Just wondering about how much this should cost for when I start calling construction people.
We plan on buying a new stove but i prefer a gas one.-
ANSWER:
If by convert you mean replace your electric stove with a gas one that wont be so hard. You will need to have a “t” installed on your gas line and then stub it up to next to the stove and you will need a 110V outlet. Relatively cheap project even if you need someone to do the work.

QUESTION:
which is the good cookware for electric stove?
currently i m using Gas Stove but we r planning to move and all the aprtament have electric stove and i m not at all familiar with electric stove. can anyone help me? thanks for giving me reply.-
ANSWER:
First of all, I’m sorry you have to use an electric stove. It is definitely a step down from gas.No matter what kind of stove you’re cooking on, always buy the very best pans you can afford. I really like Le Creuset pots and Calphalon pans. The cost may be painful, but you’ll get many, many years of enjoyment out of them.
When cooking with electric, you have to keep a very close watch on the temperature, because it is harder to control than gas. Be prepared to take your pan off the burner rather than just turning the heat down, because it takes awhile for the burner to cool down.
That’s the most important thing. Good luck!

QUESTION:
Why does water boil faster on an electric stove compared to a gas stove?
On the same settings, water boils faster on my electric stove compared to my gas stove.So why does water boil faster on an electric stove, compared to a gas stove?
Thank you. I just want to know.

ANSWER:
Electric stove has no heat loss. In gas burner, a considerable amount of heat is lost. Also, as we go away from the flame, the heat decreases. So, it depends on the vessel too. If the vessel is curved(Here, we use vessels with curve), the gas stove will perform better, as the electric stove needs more contact area.
Any way, the main reason is heat loss.Stand near a working gas stove, and compare it with standing near an electric stove. In gas stove, you’ll feel the heat, in an electric stove, you won’t.

QUESTION:
can I hook an electric dryer into a plug that an electric stove was in?
I got an electric dryer. I have a plug that was where the electric stove was. is there an amp or ohm difference?
will there be a danger?-
ANSWER:
There is an amp difference… dryers are typically 30 amp (check the plate on the back of yours to verify), while electric stoves are usually 40 amp. The plug is different too. A dryer plug will not fit into an outlet made for a stove.If the location is where you want it, you can easily change the 40 amp breaker (replace it with a 30 amp breaker), and plug, and use the existing wire without any problems (assuming the wire is in good shape). If the dryer has the old 3 prong wire cord, this is a good time to upgrade it to the 4 wire cord while you’re at it.
All of the parts can be found at your local hardware or building supply store.
I would shut off the breaker to the circuit, replace the outlet, then shut off the main circuit breaker and swap out the breakers. Because the dryer plugs have prongs long enough your fingers could slip between them, I won’t even plug/unplug a dryer without shutting off the breaker.
When in doubt – call an electrician
Good Luck

QUESTION:
Is it cheaper to use gas or electric stove for cooking?
I have an electric stove that was given to me for free. The home that I am in is fitted for gas and I don’t have a gas stove as of yet. Would it be worth the cost to get an outlet installed and forget about the gas?-
ANSWER:
All resources are expensive to use they are a commodities so we the consumer must pay for them, it also depends on how much do you cook , I have both stoves and the only difference is keeping them clean I love the self cleaning ovens so they use more energy when I clean the ovens, during black out I was glad to have the gas stove because I could cook . My advise to you would be to have both stove installed to serve you better in case of a large dinner party or even a possible black out .
