Which one more jimat?

any pro & cons?

electric stove got different types also.

Got those electric coils type that gets hot

and those induction type that doesn't get hot

dapur arang

electric one will cost a bomb to your electricity bill. Normal gas stove will do lar.

electric stove got no wok hei

U try masak rendang guna elektrik stove

u got free electric or solar go electric
else quite costly if u cook alot

I found induction is the best.

My maid cook 3 x / day, difference in electricity < RM40 (when she balik kampong for a month)

Gas stove.

Runs hotter, heats up quicker, tastier food. Impossible to cook vege properly on electric, unless you like a soggy tasteless mulch.

Gas is still cheaper to run.



And not just any gas stove. Find one that can go hot enough to light your pan on fire. That's how you cook properly.

U try do char kuey teow which one is better.

Inb4 charcoal style

Induction stove very leceh. It has to be almost completely flat base and must be metal. Glass pots from pyrex and conningware cannot use. Ceramic and earthware like claypot cannot use. The old school gas stove is better

if you cook < 3 time a week, buy electric

got both
didn't quantify which saves more

Hahaha... actually I still do.


BBQ and soups. The best.


Someone tried to sell me a Gas fired BBQ once. I told him not to be stupid.

I'll go for Gas stove anytime
if I want boil water, electrical

Electric stove auto cut off.... loss of heat suddenly half way fry chicken.
Electric stove cannot fry like a pro.. flip here flip there. like Gordam Ramsee.
Electric stove... works only with certain pan... still true till today?

gas stove.. need place put tong. waste of space.
gas stove.. clean up not easy.
gas stove.. always run out of gas when urgent want cook maggie mee... I prepare 2 tong. $$ fly away.

My solution:-
Have a gas + single electric...

mix lo if u can...

buy 1 gas 1 electric.. solve

dunno about that. unker previously use induction cooker after that use halogen cooker

my tnb bill still about RM50 per month

that includes a washing machine, a fridge, ceiling fans, 24 hours always on t8 LED light, my gaming rig, tv etc..

Used gas stove previously when living with parents. Now new house using electric stove. Maggi mee and my boiled water come out all right. Steak also came out all right. All sorts of food ...curry, stew, bihun thng, porridge, fried rice, Scramble eggs also came out all right. Dunno issit my old gas stove is lacking on the features but for electric stove you can set timer on when it will stop the heat. You can put on heat mode to keep food hot. You can use the presets to boil water and leave it there, it will switch off when the water is done. Never go to calculate the running cost though. No electricty ....no need cook la. No need to remove parts to clean...it has a flat surface ...just use sponge and cloth to wipe off any food residue.

Nak seronok masak pakai gas stove je. At my parents' house I cannot cook coz it uses electric stove

arang expensive wor

Me and my wife in the house aircond (inverter) switched on min 8 hrs a day. Electricity bill RM50 to RM 60 monthly. Weekends we are normally chilling at home as well.
Not sure is the led lighting and newer energy saving electricals(3 years old tech fridge, washing machine, dryer, microwave, ) the contributor to low electricity consumption.

Uncle, ask you if I have a bunch of t5s and t8s with normal tube bulbs...wanna convert to led can ah ? need change what?

can liao. go to hardware store, sometime tescogot aeonbig got, giant got, Phillips LED tube for old fluorescent casing. It comes with a special starter, the LED tube might be expensive that fluorescent one, but in the long run (and the light quality) also much2 better

Gas stove jimat. 1 tank rm28-30 can last more than a month for normal home use.

agree on seronok memasak using gas stove. much2 more satisfaction. for convenient and ease of use, use electric stove.

induction is not cheap and that easy to use. halogen is much2 better

cool no need change casing? I go see see....tqtq

Got 3 major types:
1) Gas
2) Ceramic/Hot Plate
3) Induction

The most efficient use of energy > Induction
The cheapest to operate > Gas
* Valid for Malaysia and surrounding

GAS
Pro
Cheap
Can use any cooking utensil

Con
Gas leak/Explosion
Need to keep extra tong or wait for new tong to arrive if out of gas
Lot of power (heat) wasted
Hard to clean

CERAMIC
Pro
Can use any cooking utensil
Easy to Clean (Flat surface)

Con
Electric more expensive
May require separate wiring for high amp need

INDUCTION
Pro
Easy to Clean (Flat surface)
Most efficient of energy transfer

Con
Need to use cooking utensil only meant for induction hob
Need to use flat bottom wok (curve induction hob available but rare and limited of use.

You can buy cheap direct replacement at DIY. It shows how to do minor wiring change when removing ballast
