Is induction cooker is good for replacement of Gas for cooking?

Hi surekha, I think you have to buy that one because its good when you don't have gas in any emergency, no need pay more money about it so I think all have to this type cooker for emergency or little one regular use also. But you can get still many cylinder as you want, there is no limit to buy cylinder and price did not hike, there is only now you can get only 6 subsidised cylinder in a year, after that you have to pay full money for every cylinder.

Gradually fossil fuel like gas is getting scarce where induction cooker is the best alternative to gas. Dependency on gas should be reduced. Gas can be kept in case of electricity is off. I have gas and its price is hiking because vehicles are being turned into gas driven. Gas is a powerful fuel which we should use in high tech industry instead for domestic purpose. I hardly switch on gas to make some tea or light breakfast. I told my housewife not to use it for any lame excuse.

Induction stove can be a good alternate to Gas Stove. But the Induction stove (Hot plate) cannot sense all the metals. It doesn't sense Indalium metals, particularly the 'Pressure Cooker'. Stainless steel is ok. But here in my state, electricity charges also have been hiked. So there is literally no difference in cost between the Gas stove and induction stove. (In fact, I have to buy separate vessels for induction stove. So, I just postponed buying it.)

Hi, Its all the same if you count the cost of electricity, that is, unless your electric rate is very low. I heard induction stove uses the same wattage as hot plate electrics, about 1k watts at minimum. I'd rather go for solar or the one that uses coals powered with a 12 volt DC, 600mA blower.

h i there i always like gas i tried electric one but it is okay to try it and use it but i like the gas one i do not know why i used to it and find it more nice and cook faster and easy

Based on my research induction cooker is faster and more energy-efficient than a traditional electric cooker surface. Because it allows instant control of cooking energy similar to gas burners. It is also safe to use because it only heat the pot, there is no flame, so there is no possibility to burn.

Hi sur! We have not used induction cooker, yet I think it is a good option. Needless to say that electricity cost in using the induction cooker will have to be taken into account. It could be used along with Gas stove and that may balance the cost and convenience.

Surekha, in my home i am using induction cooker whenever we are running out of gas. But the only problem is, it only able to detect certain types of metals. That's why, we still maintain using gas and only use this cooker on certain time. For my family, we will need around 3 cylinders of gas per month. It is really hard to survive only using a cylinder gas for 2 months. It is really pity to those who have to pay double the amount of gas in your area.

Hello Surekha, first thing Government will give some relief. In all states where congrss are ruling party decide to give 9 cyclinder per year. I also listen and read about induction cooker. I am also planning to buy it. I thinnk it best alternate of cooking gas. But power is also problem.

Surekha This is all politics, increase the price, put restrictions, there will be demonstrations, bandhs, TODAY IS BHARAT BANDDH!!!!, There will be burning of buses, cancellation of trains, market, school college bank all are closed, and you might be aware that it is 10 cylinders now You can use induction cooker, but you have to buy stainless steel pressuse cookers, vesselsthat can work with it.. Well here one unit of electricity costs 5.15, so it is equally costly... Bhuwan

Induction cooker is the best option to use. Well this is very strange and terrible decision taken by the government. I think it is better to buy an induction cooker on each homes because it saves our bills a lot. I feel it brings us a less loaded bill, sometimes it may be the reason I just use it only at some occasions.

Yes induction cooker can make the meal very fast and more cheaper than gas,but there are some limited on it such as it can not fit for some kinds of metal,so in my mind you can have both induction cooker and the gas one and in this way you can save your gas quota.

Have you heard of charcoal stove? I would rather have a charcoal stove. If you want to save a lot of money this is a good alternative for gas range and induction cooker.Induction cooker runs through electricity while gas stove functions by using gas.So what's the difference? Here in my country,the price of electricity has skyrocketed and gas also cost an arm and a leg. A pack of charcoal only cost 250 php which is more or less than 5 USD compared to the price of gas which is not less than 900 php that is equivalent to 22 USD.

Induction cooker is good. But not that good compare to gas. Maybe in the future more technologies come out with new things.

I also am thinking of using induction cooker. I am quite attracted with it because it looks so tidy and easy to maintain. It also looks safe because there is no open flame at all while cooking It is said to be energy efficient because it cooks faster than the traditional way of cooking. But because it uses electromagnetism to cook, it can't do with all all types of cookware. Your cookware must be made of ferrous or iron so this means your aluminum, copper, and glass cookware will not be compatible with induction cooker. I consider this as a major disadvantage of induction cooker. Where will all my aluminum, copper and glass cookwares go when I switch to induction cooker then? Shall I just junk, sell or give them away. My glass cookwares were bought at a high price so it would be a waste if I can't use them anymore for cooking.
