The claim that gas stoves are more energy-efficient than electric stoves, due to their use of an open flame, is not supported by the facts. Electric stoves, especially induction cooktops, are far more energy-efficient than gas stoves, making them a better choice for those looking to maximize energy use in the kitchen.Induction stoves use electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly, which means that nearly all of the energy is transferred into heating the pot or pan. This process drastically reduces energy loss compared to gas stoves, which rely on an open flame to transfer heating resulting in a significant amount of energy loss in the process. According to Energy Star, induction stoves boast an energy efficiency of 85-90%, while gas stoves are only about 40-50% efficient.(1)(2)
