Are Viking Gas Ranges or Viking Electric Ranges Better?


The gas vs. electric debate in the kitchen is just as heated as ever (no pun intended). There are quite a few advantages to both it may be kind of hard to choose between the two.

 If you’re looking into discount kitchen appliances, and can’t decide between Viking gas ranges and Viking electric ranges, here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of both types.

Gas Ranges:
They heat up quickly. Gas stoves and ovens are known to heat up extremely fast, so if speed is important to you, gas may be the way to go. They also heat evenly, which something that serious cooks care about.
On the down side, something I’ve experienced is that they’re a pain to clean. If you’re sautéing something and the food gets into the burner, you have to take of the guards and scrub out the insides, which can take some time when burnt food is caked to the oven.

Electric Ranges:

These are great because on many models you can set the precise temperature you want to work with. This can sometimes lower the amount of time it takes to cook something because the temperture is accurate. Also, these are a dream to clean because all you have to do is wipe it down, and maybe use some protective solution to keep the glass nice. They don’t heat up as quickly as the gas ranges and some people like being able to cook over a flame, so electric doesn’t work for them.
