The gas shortage in Karachi this winter has been at an all-time high. People have to time their cooking because the gas can go away at any time and is not back for hours. Many times, even when the gas is present, it burns such a low flame that no food can cook on it, only reheat. Thus, people have begun to turn to alternatives to their gas stoves in this winter and we want to compare two of them. Yes, today we are going to put the Hot Plate against the Gas cylinder.
It is true that both of these items have pros and cons of their own, but which one has more pros in the question to ask. A lot of people prefer a hot plate because it is more convenient to use. However, many people prefer the gas cylinder because it is cheaper and less prone of being damaged. Let us dive into the details of each.
Going For The Hot Plate
While the Hot Plate is no cylinder, it can certainly hold its own well in battle. The device is known to heat up to more than 100 degrees Celsius. You can do anything on it, from cooking food to boiling water. It can also handle quite a lot of weight on it but continuous pressure on the plate can be harmful in the long term. Additionally, the hot plate also consumes electricity when it is turned on, which means a higher bill for you.
Gas Cylinders Everywhere
If we are talking about gas cylinders, it is important to note that a tested one must always be bought. An untested cylinder in operation is dangerous. Other than that, the cylinder burns less gas than one would expect and can last a person a long time. Gas is cheaper than electricity, but you will have to refill the cylinder from time to time.
This comparison tells us that, if we are not worried about a higher electric bill, then the hot plate is for us. However, if we are not worried about potential gas leaks or constant refills, then the Gas Cylinder is for us. Overall, the gas cylinder is certainly the preferred option for more people.
