In most cases, a stove cannot be both electric and gas simultaneously. The reason is that electric stoves and gas stoves have different designs and mechanisms for generating heat.
Electric stoves use electricity to heat up metal coils or ceramic glass cooktops, which then transfer heat to the cookware. On the other hand, gas stoves use a gas flame to heat metal grates or burners, which in turn heat the cookware.
However, there are some stoves available on the market that offer a combination of electric and gas features. These are commonly known as dual-fuel stoves or ranges. In a dual-fuel stove, the cooktop uses gas burners, and the oven utilizes electric heating elements. This hybrid design allows users to take advantage of both gas cooking on the stovetop and electric baking in the oven.
Dual-fuel stoves are popular among professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts who appreciate the precise control of gas cooking on the stovetop and the even baking performance of electric ovens.
It's worth noting that these dual-fuel stoves are separate units with distinct components for each type of cooking. You cannot have both gas and electric cooking functions operating simultaneously on the same burner or cooktop.
