Are Gas Ovens Still Worth It in 2025? Here’s Why the Answer is Yes.
For years, the humble gas oven has been a kitchen staple—favoured by home cooks and professional chefs alike. But with rising interest in electric models, digital controls, and energy efficiency, many are asking: Are gas ovens still a smart choice in 2025?
At Kaiser, we think the answer is a resounding yes—and here’s why.
1. Instant, Responsive Heat
Gas ovens still lead the way when it comes to immediate heat response. Unlike electric ovens that take time to warm up and cool down, gas models give you heat on demand and dialled-in control. That’s especially useful for dishes that rely on precision and timing—like crispy roasts or baked goods that need even browning.
2. Moisture Retention for Better Cooking
One underrated advantage of gas ovens is how they retain natural moisture. Because gas generates a slightly more humid heat than electric, it’s ideal for:
-
Roasting meats without drying them out
-
Keeping baked dishes juicy and flavourful
-
Achieving a better crust on breads and pies
3. Energy Conscious in All the Right Ways
Electric ovens may seem greener, but the bigger picture is more nuanced. Modern gas ovens, like the ones in Kaiser’s lineup, are engineered for low consumption and high efficiency, helping you make better use of your fuel without sacrificing performance.
Plus, with the UK's changing energy mix and rising electricity costs, gas ovens can still offer lower running costs depending on your tariff and usage.
4. Built for the Traditionalist—with Modern Features
If you’re someone who still prefers the tactile feedback of knobs over digital touchscreens, gas ovens are often a better fit. But don’t be fooled—today’s models combine classic functionality with sleek modern design, safety features, and high-tech performance.
Take our Grand Chef EG 6372, for example:
-
Powerful gas cooking with top-tier flame control
-
Timeless black enamel styling
-
Safety cut-off systems and double-glazed doors
-
Built to blend with modern or traditional kitchens alike
5. The Right Fit for Serious Cooks
Ask any seasoned chef and they’ll tell you—gas cooking is still the gold standard. Whether you’re searing, baking, roasting, or grilling, the level of control offered by a gas flame is hard to beat. And for families or frequent hosts, that reliability matters.
Final Thoughts
Gas ovens aren’t going anywhere—and in 2025, they’re more refined, more efficient, and more relevant than ever. If you’re planning a kitchen refresh and wondering whether to go electric or gas, it’s worth considering which suits your cooking style best.
And if gas ticks the boxes for you, Kaiser’s gas ovens are a smart, stylish place to start.
