It really depends on what you want/need.
Definitely induction cooker consumption cost is higher than gas cooker, but it look neat and mush faster to heat up.

And some people say gas cooker can produce a higher overall heat which can cook better. In Cantonese they call it 'Wok hei' Technically i believe is due to gas cooker can produce a more even heat on all surface of the food, rather than an induction cooker which produce heat by the induction plate surface only.

quite the contrary, it is the opposite, gas cooker cost more than induction cooker.

see here: https://www.bijlibachao.com/appliances/cook...-induction.html

pls note m'sia using LPG stove (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

i can see pretty soon induction will replace gas cooker in future.

It depends to stove you are using. If we are talking about those fancy stove with built in oven that cost thousands, sure induction cooker win hands down.
But if we were to compare with those old school rm50-100 type of gas stove, no need to say more, gas wins thumbup.gif
Now my villa are using induction cooker, the cooking time increase from 25 minutes to 30 minutes. But I counter this problem by using hot water to soften the noodle and vege first to get back the 5 minutes.

Another question coming in now, how you get the hot water?

QUOTE(ReWeR @ Oct 1 2014, 12:02 PM)
some of the first world countries enforce the use of induction is due to the long term cost.

some costs are hidden and you'll not see it immediately, such the effect of petrol based burning cost to the environment.

i don't want to provide too much details as it will derail everything. if you want a short answer whether gas stove or induction which one cost more, I can directly tell you it is gas stove.

You are right, some of the country yes. But definitely not in Malaysia. Maybe you do not know Malaysia rate. Do refer to paskal post.

Environmental friendly or not will be another aspect.

Can't say like this. Have to see where our stand is.

You refer to paskal post then you will know why i say rewer is not from Malaysia.

thanks for the first post. but that's normalized for india prices.

here's when it's normalized to malaysian prices:

adjusted for RM1.90 per kg LPG from KPDNKK controlled pricing.
adjusted for RM0.33 per unit electricity averaged from normal RM150-ish bill.

assuming that this :

is correct.
the original reference at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appl...fs/cookgtsd.pdf could no longer be found.

so no.
LPG cooking is still cheaper in malaysia. even when the efficiency is at 40%. if you take into account the adoption cost of a good induction cooker, the higher risk of failure of the component; it's a no brainer really.

Yes, this is more applicable to Malaysian.

the tariff did not come down. how come you see it as go up and come down?
the table is pretty much straight forward.

the last calculation i did, with the tariff at RM0.33 per unit is from memory. i remember reading the averaged electricity cost for malaysia is RM0.33 per unit. turns out its RM0.32 per unit, for people with bill costing under RM128.

nobody less probability people with electricity bill less than RM130 would even consider going induction. they simply can't afford the cooker. it's a few thousand, which is better spent buying food.

RM231.8 / 500 units = average at RM0.4636 per unit.
RM 452.70 / 1000 units = average at RM0.4527 per unit.

My calculation wrong?

you still don't know how to calculate your electricity bill ah? aiseh.

say u used 500 units.
first 200 unit  = 0.218 per unit  = RM21.8
next 100 unit after 200 = 0.334/unit  = RM33.4
next 200 hundred after that 200 = 0.516/unit  = RM103.3

so total = 21.8 + 33.4 + 103.3 = RM158.5
so your average per unit is at RM0.317

feel free to correct.

I get 'RM231.8 / 500 units = average at RM0.4636 per unit.' from your own calculation, which i presume you get it from the table provided by you which you circle them in red.

I just jump 2 row down to get the RM 452.70 and 1000 units.

Yes, i do know how the TNB tariff works, just i didn't croos check it with the table provided by you.

And your RM 231.80 now become RM 158.50 after your own calculation.

Seem like another problem with induction cooker is durability.
