Electric Stove with Stand — format advantages

No gas infrastructure required — there is no need for gas piping, safety valves or gas detectors; an electrical connection is sufficient; see Gas Stoves as an alternative. Neutral cabinet or stand — the under-counter space can be used for storing pots or as an open frame for side access; see Electric Hobs. BHS supplies electric stoves across Europe.
