You cook quickly, easily, and affordably on a gas cooktop. Another advantage is that you can control the heat supply very accurately. You easily turn the fire up or down and you see right away what you're doing. When you want to buy a gas cooktop, think about how many pans you use every day while cooking. Is 4 burners enough or do you want a larger cooktop for gas with 5 or 6 burners, because you often cook extensively?
