Why Use a Gas Stove?
1. Gas stoves use LPG to function so there is no risk of electric currents and short circuits.
2. Almost every utensil can be used to cook over a gas stove. There is no specific requirement for cookware.
3. It is cheaper than electric and induction cooktops.
4. The flame can be increased or reduced simply by turning the knob.
5. The temperature of cooking can be judged by seeing the flame. Many people just like the idea of being able to see the flame.
6. Power cuts do not affect cooking.
Types of Gas Stoves
There are mainly 4 types of gas stoves based on the number of burners which are sold in India:
A. 1 Burner
B. 2 Burners
C. 3 Burners
D. 4 Burners
Gas Stove Buying Guide
1. Based on ignition type, you can go with either manual ignition or automatic ignition. Gas stoves with manual ignition need to be manually lighted up by matchstick or lighter. Auto-ignition models get lighted up just by turning on the knob.
2. Check that the spacing between the burners is enough for cooking with two utensils simultaneously like pressure cooker and kadai.
3. Check the position of the gas pipe inlet whether it will be reachable from your cylinder.
4. Make sure that the knobs are smooth in operation and do not get stuck in the same position.
5. Check that all the burners can light up simultaneously.
6. Do check that the gas stove is ISI certified and has the ISI mark.
Should I Buy Gas Stove Online?
If you have the same question, then do not worry because it’s safe to buy gas stove only. When we needed to change our old gas stove with 2 burners, we bought a Glen 3 burner gas stove from Flipkart as shown in the image.
I bought it in October 2015. Now it is not able to make it to the top 10 gas stoves in India list.
The advantages of buying gas stoves online are:
1. Discounts.
2. No need to hear sales pitch and bargain.
3. If you get a defective piece, you can always get a replacement or refund. This is not the case with offline shops. They will tell you to contact the company even if you go there the next day.
To make sure that you get genuine gas stove, buy only from Amazon Fulfilled seller or Flipkart Assured sellers. Cloudtail and OmniTechRetail are trusted sellers for gas stoves and other items on Amazon and Flipkart respectively.

Hi Vishnu, go with Prestige Marvel Glass-Top 3 Burner Gas Table.
Nice article…However, I am torn between Prestige Marvel 3 burner and Preethi Sparkle 3 burner stoves. Any recommendations?
I am slightly inclined towards Preethi because of removable drip trays (which are in addition to the fixed ones) and ergonomically designed support knobs which can be twisted to raise stove for easy cleaning beneath. My only concern is I think it’s a new product in the market with less exposure and not many reviews.
As for prestige, I don’t think it has removable drip trays as you have mentioned but it has been on the market for quite some time and has garnered positive reviews. Thanks!
You should go with Preethi Sparkle 3 burner stoves.
