Stainless Gas Cooker (Advantages)

• The cooker can still be refurbished even after the surface stainless sheet has undergone corrosion.

• It lasts longer than glass cookers.

• Its control which is better covered and protected from salty water and food particles, doesn’t get stiff and unresponsive easily.

• Stainless gas cookers can withstand rough handling unlike glass cookers.

• It is more affordable than a glass cooker.

Stainless Gas Cooker (Disadvantages)

• It is vulnerable to corrosion (rust) when the salty water that pours on it reacts with air.

• Cleaning it is more cumbersome because food particles/residues stick to it.

• It is less physically attractive and appealing than glass cookers.

Glass Gas Cooker (Advantages)

• Its shiny surface makes it very easy to clean. Oil and food particles/residues hardly stick to it and are easily removed.

• Aesthetics: It is more physically attractive and appealing than the stainless cooker.

• The glass surface of the cooker does not corrode (rust) unlike a stainless steel cooker.

Glass Gas Cooker (Disadvantages)

• It must be handled with special care to prevent cracks or damage.

• Low and medium quality glass cookers can shatter within 1-2 years of use.

• Its design makes it easy for food particles and residues to accumulate in the control housing, which causes the control to become stiff and unresponsive.

• The cost of replacing the surface glass when it breaks is prohibitive.

• Spaces around the burner allow salty water and oil to flow underneath the cooker to the metal frame and bottom of the burner to cause serious corrosion.
