In the fast-paced restaurant industry, chefs demand the quickness, control and reliability of #CookingWithGas.
Quick
"We’re talking about power. We’re talking about the ability to cook many things rapidly, which is what every chef in every restaurant needs."
– Jeff Bradley, Posh, Phoenix
"What we do on a daily basis in that restaurant can’t be done without natural gas. It would probably be impossible."
– Gio Osso, Virtu, Arizona
Control
"Natural gas is so great because I can control the temperature really easily, and the pan gets up to temperature super fast."
– Amber Kelley, Cook with Amber
Trust
"Well, I realized that cooking with gas is the way to go, when I went to a place that had no gas. That's when I realized the benefit of it, when I cooked with something other than gas."
– Ivan Calderon, Taco Mesa, California
"Cooking with natural gas is just a natural thing for me, so I've never really thought about cooking with anything else."
– Tarit Tanjasiri, Crema Cafe, California
More Affordable
Households that use natural gas for heating, cooking and clothes drying save an average of $874 per year compared to homes using electricity for those applications. Low domestic natural gas prices have led to savings of almost $50 billion for customers who have used natural gas over the past four years.
