Abstract
Four types of gas and electric cookers were tested, some of each (gas and electric) had traditional plates and others of each had halogen or ceramic ones. Water boiling tests were carried out under the same conditions in all cases. Pollutive emission tests, the efficiency of the ovens and surface temperature tests were performed on the gas stoves. Both cookers with ceramic plates were analysed by using infrared techniques. It was generally concluded that ceramic plates did not alter the heating-up times or the efficiency niveau of the electric cookers, whereas the heating-up time for the gas cooker increased in accordance with the reduction of efficiency. Efficiency was very dependent on the volume of water to be boiled, here the electric cookers were quicker at heating up large volumes of water, yet it was not possible to suddenly increase the heat, as it is in the case of gas cookers. The ceramic gas cookers took 30%-40% longer time to heat up in all cases. It was found that using gas cookers was significantly cheaper, because of the price difference between gas and electricity, and they are also easier to use. Ceramic cookers have undoubtedly the fastest heating up time. The
