It’s a great feeling when you find the perfect cooker for your home. Whether you love the charm of a range model or the sophistication of stainless steel, cookers are a great way of adding personality to your kitchen. Not to mention the fact that they play an important role in keeping us healthy and alive.

Gas cooker use is fast becoming a trend in Nigeria. It is amazing how it has also penetrated rural communities and become a choice cooking mechanism in many homes. 

Days, when you have to spend a fortune to acquire a gas cooker, are long gone. 

There is a reason why this Kitchen appliance has become the people's favorite today.

Brief History of Cooking Fuels and Methods.

Long before gas cookers, our grandmother's and mother's used Coal or Wood for food preparation. It was said that food prepared using coal or Wood tasted sweeter. However, there were lots of disadvantages to using this method of cooking. For one, it was very hard to control the amount of flame you needed for your food, if you didn't constantly monitor your food it might just burn.

With this method of cooking also comes the issue of harmful air pollutants being released to the atmosphere. According to research done in China, it was said that burning wood or coal to cook food is associated with increased risk of hospitalization or even dying from respiratory diseases. There is also an increased incidence of Lung cancer among woman that use firewood or coal to cook.

With time, this method of cooking was seen as dangerous and harmful to both people's health and the environment and so enough it was phased out. Then came the kerosene stoves, cooking with kerosene had a couple of advantages some of which are; Fast cooking when used in appropriate stoves, easy storage of fuel, very affordable.

Again, with every advantage that the kerosene stove offered, there were double disadvantages. Kerosene was seen to significantly contribute to indoor air pollution and ill-health. It was also highly flammable making it very dangerous to store at home. Eventually, the use of kerosene stoves became history with the invention of gas cookers.

Some of the advantages of using gas cookers include energy efficiency, precise temperature control, immediate heating and cooling, lower operating cost, and the ability to work without power. Cooking gas is the way to go for those who want a clean and pleasant cooking experience.

Gas cooks food faster than electricity. That means you can now spend more time doing what you love while still feeding your family with delicious, well-cooked food. You also help to save the environment by cooking with gas. Gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. It produces less carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, dissolved solids, or airborne particulates, all of which can be harmful to human and animal health.

When cooking with gas, you save money because gas cooks faster than electricity and it lasts longer. With the money that you save, you can even buy more food ingredients. If you’re shopping for a new cooker, the huge number of options available can be confusing.

Should you buy a range cooker or a freestanding model?

There's also the Table-top cooker.

In this post, we would be talking about the Table-top gas cooker and the Freestanding gas cookers. Understanding the features, benefits, pros, and cons of these gas cookers would go a long way in helping you to decide the one to get.
