The belief that electric stoves, particularly induction models, pose a higher risk of electrical fires than gas stoves is based on misconceptions about their safety features. Induction stoves generate heat through electromagnetic fields that only activate when in contact with suitable cookware. This means that the cooktop remains cool to the touch when there is no pot or pan on it, significantly reducing the risk of accidental burns or fires. Additionally, many electric stoves are equipped with automatic shut-off mechanisms and precise temperature controls that prevent overheating and further enhance safety. On the contrary, gas stoves can continue to emit gas when not in use and pose a fire or explosion risk if left on or improperly turned off.(2). Gas stoves come with inherent risks from open flames, which can easily ignite nearby flammable materials, and from gas leaks, which can create dangerous situations if not properly managed. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electric stoves generally present a lower risk of fire compared to gas stoves.(1)
