“Notably, no two Molteni stoves will be alike, as each is built to suit the cooking style of its chef. Built to last a lifetime, or longer, the Molteni Range Cooker comes with as many options including different sizes, materials and colors. For instance, buyer have the option to choose an electric solid top, a gas solid top, hot cupboard, fryer, fry top, hot surface, induction, gas burner, and gas or electric static oven. ”
Looks like most models come with a cast-iron gas cooktop. Must be really efficient when cooking for long periods of time.
From what I hear, electric solid tops are pretty efficient. You just can’t do any stir fry on electric. You have to get one of those chinese gas burners – I think they are between 50k-200k BTUs.
In terms of cost though in SD, I think gas is cheaper.
Gas 1therm = 99976.1 BTU
Elec 1 kwh = 3412 BTU.
SDG&E rates (typical home)
Gas ~$1.36/term
Elec ~$0.242/kwh
For equivalent energy (29.3kWh = $7.09)
