An LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) is so much better than using a traditional electric cooktop.

An LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) provides heat more rapidly and evenly, as the cooking gas flame wraps around the pan.

And it’s easy to add cooking gas LPG and an LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) to your kitchen.

Temperature control is instantaneous with an LPG cooktop (gas cooktop), so you don’t have to move a pot off the LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) burner to stop cooking.

Likewise, LPG oven (gas oven) and LPG gas stove (gas stove) models also enhance the gas cooking experience.

Finally, imagine being able to cook a real stir fry in a proper wok, with an LPG cooktop wok burner!

LPG Cooktop (Gas Cooktop) and LPG Gas Stove are Easy to Install

Installing a gas cooktop

Cooking gas LPG and an LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) can be fitted into the same space as your old electric cooktop.

You just measure your current unit and select an LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) that is the same size. You can even install a larger LPG cooktop (gas cooktop), if you have additional countertop space and can cut the countertop material to fit the LPG cooktop (gas cooktop).

An LPG gas stove is also easy to install, as there are common standard sizes for an electric stove and LPG gas stove (gas stove).

You simply remover the electric stove and place the LPG gas stove (gas stove) in its place.

Cooking gas LPG, LPG cooktop (gas cooktop), LPG gas stove (gas stove) and LPG oven (gas oven) installations all require the assistance of a gas fitter.

Cook Like a Pro with Cooking Gas LPG at an Affordable Price

Best of all, cooking gas LPG is very affordable.

There is a range of affordable LPG oven (gas oven), LPG gas stove and LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) models as well as entire cooking range sets.

This includes many with a premium stainless steel finish, wok burner and electronic ignition, so no wasted gas on pilot lights.

Gas cooking is very affordable, too. Cooking gas LPG typically costs less than $0.50 per day.

How long will a gas bottle last using an LPG cooktop (gas cooktop)?

That depends on the cooking gas LPG consumption rating of the LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) burners being used.

Cooking gas LPG consumption is expressed in mega joules or MJ of energy.

One litre of cooking gas LPG has approximately 25MJ of energy content.

Gas-Bottles-On-HomeA 45kg gas bottle contains just a bit more than 88 litres or approximately 2200MJ of cooking gas LPG.

So, to determine how long the gas bottle will last, you divide 2200 by the MJ rating of the burner:

Example 1: a small 5MJ/H LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) burner will run for approximately 440 hours* on a 45kg gas bottle (2200÷5=440)

Example 2: a large 12MJ/H LPG cooktop (gas cooktop) burner will run for approximately 183 hours* on a 45kg gas bottle (2200÷12=183)

*Please note that the calculations shown assume that you use the burner on its maximum setting.

Cooking gas LPG consumption would be less, and the gas bottle would last longer, on lower settings, such as during simmering.

A 45kg gas bottle could last for a year or more when used just for an LPG cooktop (gas cooktop).

The occasional use of an LPG oven (gas oven) would not change that substantially.
