I have always had gas, but when I looked at electric cookers the hobs seem so much easier to clean.....

    Gilly,

    My preference is gas more so for the quickness of the heat control, although I must say mine is easy to keep clean I always wipe it down after every use and that's all it takes, i am sure there will be a few others along soon with their input...........happy shopping ........Marie xx

    Hi Gilly

    We have just bought a new cooker. And we always have gas. I have always preferred gas to electric.

    Good luck with the choosing of a cooker. There are so many different ones out there, it does get a bit mind boggling after a while.

    Gas all the way for me. My hob has a flat top and the pan supports are paired, I deliberately chose this arrangement to make hob cleaning easier. Oven cleaning however? I'm going to get someone in to sort it!

    I've had hobs with individual wells and found those a right nuisance on the cleaning front. It is a matter of personal preference but, when away and been confronted with an electric hob its lack of speed and reaction is always frustrating - at home when my spuds boil over a quick twist of the knob and it's sorted!

    We don't have gas in our village, so I have an electric cooker. I am however thinking of getting a duel fuel cooker, gas hob (calor), and electric fan oven. This seems to me the best option.
    Good luck with your decision.
