Electric kitchen stove

Many wonderful meals begin on the kitchen stove or range. The stove is a large appliance, usually with four or more burners.

The burners provide the heat for boiling, simmering, frying and other cooking techniques. The stove may be gas or electric. Electric stoves for cooking have been perfected to such an extent that they are a great convenience and in places where the cost of electricity does not greatly exceed that of gas they are used considerably.

Electric stovetops change the temperature more slowly than gas stovetops do. To reduce on the an electric burner, turn it down and remove the pot from the burner for a minute or two.

Flat-bottomed woks are a better option if cooking on an electric stove, as this ensures the surface is in constant contact with the heat source.

The best way to use a wok on an electric stove is to keep one burner - preferably the one next to the burner that is using - free of pots. That way if the heat gets too high, the wok can be moved to the empty cold burner.

Stovetop cooking

When choosing the proper stove-top cooking appliances, consider the fuel used to keep the stove hot. Natural gas combustion produces about one-third fewer GHG emissions than coal, the electricity generation fuel of choice in most countries.

The stovetop cooker usually is a stainless steel pot with a triple-ply bottom that works that works well as both a pressure –cooker pot and as a large pot for conventional stovetop cooking.

Ideally, it should have three different sizes of pots: a smaller pot for saucse, a medium sized for soups and single-serving meals, and a large pot for boiling noodles, potatoes and cooking for a group.

The speed of the pressure cooker may be combined with stovetop cooking to get curries and stews with a good texture.

Very tough beef ribs, oxtail, mutton or chickpeas may be first tenderized in a pressure cooker before the stew is finished on the stovetop. With stovetop cooking, the water added at the start of cooking has to take into account evaporation and rate of boiling.
