If you have a beautiful, well-equipped kitchen with all the necessary equipment-such as a hob, oven, sink, microwave, refrigerator and exit system-you already know how important the convenience and functionality is. However, in Karachi, Pakistan, a major issue that is facing home owners is constantly natural gas load. This becomes a serious challenge when your hob (stove) works completely on the natural gas supplied by the government. During gas load shedding, cooking becomes inconvenient, and you can often surprise yourself whether the option is best.
The first general option people consider that an LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is using cylinders with a separate hob. Although this solution can work, it contains many downside: it is slightly expensive, can be risky due to potential leakage or exercise, and the LPG setup requires additional space in your kitchen to store and operate the LPG setup.
Fortunately, Karachi is now widely available a smart and safe option: dual -fuel hobs that come with both gas and electric burners. These modern hobs are designed with an electric burner built up with regular gas burners. You can continue using natural gas when available, and only the gas load shedding can switch to the electric. This provides for uninterrupted cooking without any major agreement.
Although it is true that electricity in Pakistan can be expensive, the use of electric burners is usually only during emergency or when gas is not available. Additionally, if your home is equipped with a solar power system, the cost of using the electric burner becomes almost zero. Therefore, choosing a hob with both gas and electric burners is an intelligent investment. It provides flexibility, security and peace of mind – it ensures that your kitchen remains functional all the time.
