Alex hi everyone and chef Marc over the

answering your dial chef questions I got
a great question what's better for me a
electric oven or gas oven and you know
it really kind of depends they're very
very different in how they function
typically electric ovens are less
expensive so keep that in mind and it
really depends on what you have routed
to your kitchen if you only have
electric you might be stuck if you only
have a gas line that could be a little
easier to fix yeah you know sometimes in
electrical lines you can kind of punch a
hole in the wall and snake it through
can solve with your local electrician
but gas is harder to run I recently
purchased a new house and while I was
having it finished I asked him to run
both I happen to have an electric oven
in my stove but if I'd like to have gas
in the future I can go that route much
easier to install while you're having a
house built so if you're in the middle
of a housing build or you're thinking
about it just spend the extra few bucks
now so you have the option in the future
so how are they different and how do
they function differently an electric
oven is a very dry heat and in Colorado
specifically having that dryer heat that
dryer air allows things to cook a little
bit faster and a lot of things to cook a
little bit more even however the preheat
time on this electric is a little bit
longer on a gas stove it's a wetter Heat
what happens is you have moisture being
released from the gas
they're cooking so less beneficial to us
in Colorado where we have very very dry
climate anyways but quite frankly in the
Midwest or places where it's far more
with climate gas I think actually works
a little better particularly lower
elevations because you're not having to
push that volume of gas through a gas
line it's a little harder to do up here
at elevation as far as evenness of
cooking we think electric wins that race
because you have a very even heating
element you have the heat coming from
multiple places wearing gas you might
have one or two rows of gas when that
gas is on it's creating heat when it's
off just shuts off instantly you don't
have any residual heating the case so
you have to do more flipping and turning
while you're baking things also you
might need a little bit more ventilation
with gas just because you have a
backpack here that's back here and
that's releasing additional heat out of
the oven making sure that you have good
airflow because you're using that liquid
gas so keep that in mind that often
times when you're using a gas of it
might not be able to slide a pan all the
way back just because that additional
event might get in the way ultimately
you know if you have the choice and you
love cooking on gas on the stovetop you
can go duel fuel so you can have gas on
the top and you can have electric in the
oven and for Colorado in my opinion I
think that's the best choice a chef Mart
