No, an electric stove cannot be directly used with natural gas or LPG (propane) without making significant modifications. Electric stoves are designed to operate solely on electricity and use heating elements, such as electric coils or induction technology, to generate heat for cooking.
Natural gas and LPG stoves, on the other hand, are specifically designed to work with gas as a fuel source. They incorporate gas burners and require a gas supply for proper operation. The burners are designed to ignite and burn the natural gas or LPG, producing the heat necessary for cooking.
Converting an electric stove to work with natural gas or LPG would involve complex modifications that require expertise and knowledge of both electrical and gas systems. It would generally not be recommended or advisable to attempt such a conversion without professional assistance.
If you prefer to use natural gas or LPG for cooking, it's best to purchase a stove that is specifically designed and manufactured for use with gas as the fuel source. These stoves are readily available and offer the necessary safety features and compatibility for gas operation.
