Cooking with Gas – Propane Gas

According to recently released data from the 2024 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, 4.8 million households across the country rely on propane for their cooking range fuel. And 1.1 million households have a separately installed propane-fueled cooktop. Combined, 4.4% of U.S. households have propane-powered cooking equipment in their home. On a regional basis, the Northeast has the highest concentration of installed propane ranges and cooktops. While indoor propane cooking appliances are used across all types of homes, the most common households cooking with propane are single-family dwellings, which represent 77% of all surveyed households.

Gas cooking equipment offers instant and consistent heat, precise temperature control, and enhanced performance. No wonder gas is the preferred fuel for home and commercial chefs. Cooking with propane is a safe, efficient, and affordable way to prepare meals.
