Actually, it used to be that LPG was cheaper... but with the rising price of fuel, it's likely that the equation has reversed... I'd actually like to see their "study" first.... because most studies published online are based on North American electricity, which is cheaper and North American propane, which isn't given the same tax breaks ours are.
Yeah sure... They'd want you to use more electricity than LPG. They talk like they're the electric company.
Oh wait... they are! :D
Kidding aside, induction cooking definitely wins the efficiency round as far as putting more heat into the food than it is lost in the air. However, it's also known for a fact that electricity in the Philippines is one of the most expensive in the whole of Asia. With that in mind, it is interesting to know what is the actual TCO of using an inductive cooker as opposed to an LPG stove to cook the same food.
We are about to replace our LPG brand from manila gas to a more popular brand like gasul and shellane, (because of the recent news about m-gas). Then i heard induction is cheaper than gas stove on the radio. But I dont want to switch to induction cooking only to find out its more expensive than lpg, then ill end up with an expensive and unused induction cooker.
But id really want to try it because of how safe they are compared to LPG.

Otherwise, using plain LPG is the best. And it still functions in blackouts too. ... try cooking something on an induction stove when the power is out in the middle of a tropical storm. :)
BTW, induction stoves need induction specific cookware.
nahuli ng TV5 yung refilling station nila sa cavite, pinapatungan ng pintura yung mga kalawang ng tangke para magmukhang bago, tapos mga kulang kulang ang timbang. yung mgas namin ngayon may singaw, papabakal ko na lang to at bibili ng solane.Quote:

Di nga basta basta cookware ang uubra sa induction cooker.... But induction cookers prices are also now going down... Ewan ko lang sa cookware kung bumababa na rin...Quote:

The free cookware that comes with them, though, is crap. :grin:
mura pa din LPG.. magkano lang 11kgs ngayon.. 600 to 650.. with ordinary daily cooking.. that will last you 2 months.. magkano electricity dyan sa induction cooker?
I would not rule out induction cookers as less expensive even if we have high electricity rates.
However, if all of us use electricity to cook, we will definitely suffer more power shortage.

So which is cheaper, palitan lahat ng cookware to magnetic type or buy a single burner + LPG? Hehe. What i got was the single burner (tama ba tawag?) and it's 2000watts. Na-arbor na ni sis-in-law a few weeks ago after matambak sa cabinet for years.... :happy:
how much po ba ang induction cooker? at mga cookware na kailangan gamitin?
alam ko mura na lang ang mga induction cooker ngayon. I got one for free when we bought a new ref last year. I think nasa 1k na lang ang single.Quote:

tingin tingin ka lan, hehe. Para akong timang nuon, nagdala ako literal ng small magnet (i dont trust sales ladies), kapag dumikit yun magnet - it will work sa induction cooker! :grin:Quote:

Any steel bottomed cookware works.
