The holidays are a time to enjoy togetherness with the people you love most by sharing love, joy and of course … good food. Whether it’s a delicious Thanksgiving turkey or your family’s favorite sweet treat, “the most wonderful time of the year” would not be the same without the cuisines that make it extra special.

At Lake Apopka Natural Gas District (LANGD), cooking with natural gas is a tradition the entire team enjoys, especially during the holidays. The District isn’t alone either – 88 percent of professional chefs also prefer natural gas for cooking (Blue Flame Alliance).

So why should you make the switch to natural gas cooking? For starters, it’s much easier on the wallet. During the holidays, the average household using a gas-powered oven will spend half as much to cook a turkey compared to cooking with an electric oven.

In addition to its cost-friendly characteristics, natural gas cooking comes with several other benefits, some of which include:

  • Design Options – Natural gas appliances are truly designed for every type of home. From the traditional free-standing range, which includes a stovetop and an oven, to built-in ranges that can fit between cabinet spaces, there are plenty of options to choose from that will best fit your family’s needs.
  • Sealed Burners – Most natural gas stoves come equipped with sealed burners, which are available in several different sizes to support multiple cooking functions and allow for controlled temperatures.
  • Temperature Control – With natural gas cooking, you’ll always be able to serve a hot meal in a flash. Precision temperature control takes you from a boil to a simmer in a matter of minutes, and natural gas heat contains more moisture than no gas, which leads to better quality baking.
  • Easy Cleanup – During the holiday season, natural gas can help decrease your cleaning time and increase your family time. Features like removable control knobs, porcelain drip pans under the burners and a raised edge around the cooktop to keep spills under control reduce your time spent cleaning the kitchen.

Between cooking meals, buying gifts, planning family gatherings, and more, the festive season can quickly become stressful. This year, consider natural gas cooking to spend less time worrying about preparing meals and more time with the people you love.
