Thanks slmkhoo. Didn’t read but the heading seems comparing gas & electric hob. I was thinking of gas stove vs electric oven.


You use your oven alot also, I feel. Kne of the reasons I try to bake bigger batch is due to electricity usage needed to heat up big oven. Not sure how energy consuming is that actually. I think should be manageable ba as I am not doing that everyday.

Have my 2 deep skillets delivered. Saw some tiny holes so thought of returning them and go buy an around 33cm skillet for pizza…just now checked on the weight omg too heavy for 1 pc…I may just take on these 2 deep skillets, bake smaller pizza etc…Funny tho, i just got one during holiday, complained abt the caring of it…then read more and discovered that actually quite interesting …and now get another 2.

I see. But since using electric oven takes more power than electric hob, then using gas should be even cheaper in comparison?

You can calculate the energy consumption of your oven:

I don't use my oven to cook, except for the occasional lunch of frozen chicken pieces (like nuggets). That takes about 30 mins, and I only do it if there are 2 or more eating. I use my oven once or twice week to bake, about 1.5hrs each time? I have never tried to calculate the electricity consumption, but there are no alternatives to what I use the oven for. In general, I cook meals on the stovetop as it's faster (and cheaper, I expect). I have an oven toaster and a microwave oven to do quick heating of single or small items.

I don't know what your electricity bill is, but ours is well below the median for a 5-room flat, so I haven't felt the need to really monitor.

Thanks slmkhoo.


Now I m thinking the danger of getting fingers burnt by touching the hot handle, by accident. Coz can be put into oven, so the handle is ‘naked’ and many of us are so used to just hold the handle of our usual wok/pan.

I like rainy days. Perfect for a hot cup of tea and a good book.


Craving piping hot bakchor mee kia soup so sent DH out to tabao so that I can continue getting lost in my book.

DS is unwell again. He is falling sick more often since starting NS. Think his visits to the doctors these few months have exceeded all his visits before NS.

Was at Bishan J8 NTUC. Didn’t expect the queue for payment was sooooo loooong. I gave up and returned everything in my trolley back to their respective shelves and left.

NTUC, pls lah, if want to give $4 return voucher, can perhaps spread over 2 weekends? We have 6mil people in Singapore.
