Cooking Gas LPG – LPG Gas Cooktop – LPG Gas Stove
Professional chefs cook with an LPG gas cooktop and an LPG gas stove.
An LPG gas cooktop offers instant temperature control.
With cooking gas LPG available almost everywhere, you can, too.
And adding an LPG cooktop to your all-electric home is easier than you think.
Cooking Gas LPG is Everywhere
Cooking gas LPG performs just like natural gas but you don’t need a gas main to use it.
But how can you enjoy gas cooking if you live in an area without natural gas supply? An LPG gas cooktop is the answer.
Cooking gas LPG is available virtually anywhere in Australia.
LPG Gas Cooktop – The Better Way to Cook
An LPG gas cooktop is so much better than using a traditional electric cooktop.
An LPG cooktop provides heat more rapidly and evenly, as the flame wraps around the pan.
Temperature control is instantaneous with an LPG gas cooktop, so you don’t have to move a pot off the burner to stop cooking.
Finally, imagine being able to cook a real stir fry in a proper wok, with an LPG cooktop wok burner!
LPG Gas Cooktop is Easy to Install
An LPG gas cooktop can be fitted into the same space as your old electric cooktop.
You just measure your current unit and select an LPG cooktop that is the same size. You can even install a larger LPG gas cooktop, if you have additional countertop space.
Cook Like a Pro at an Affordable Price
Best of all, cooking gas LPG is very affordable.
There is a range of affordable LPG gas stove and LPG gas cooktop models as well as entire cooking range sets.
This includes many with a premium stainless steel finish, wok burner and electronic ignition, so no wasted gas on pilot lights.
Gas cooking is very affordable, too. Cooking gas LPG typically costs less than $0.50 per day.
How long will a gas bottle last using an LPG gas cooktop?
That depends on the gas consumption rating of the LPG cooktop burners being used.
Burner gas consumption is expressed in mega joules or MJ of energy.
One litre of LPG has approximately 25MJ of energy content.
A 45kg gas bottle contains just a bit more than 88 litres or approximately 2200MJ of energy.
So, to determine how long the gas bottle will last, you divide 2200 by the MJ rating of the burner:
Example 1: a small 5MJ/H LPG cooktop burner will run for approximately 440 hours* on a 45kg gas bottle (2200÷5=440)
Example 2: a large 12MJ/H LPG cooktop burner will run for approximately 183 hours* on a 45kg gas bottle (2200÷12=183)
*Please note that the calculations shown assume that you use the burner on its maximum setting.
Gas consumption would be less, and the gas bottle would last longer, on lower settings, such as during simmering.
A 45kg gas bottle could last for a year or more when used just for an LPG gas cooktop.
