Electric appliances such as induction cooktops, microwaves, air fryers, rice cookers, OTGs, and electric hot plates offer alternatives to LPG cooktops for daily cooking tasks during supply disruptions or refill delays.
Recent reports of LPG refill delays and supply constraints in several cities have raised concerns for households that rely on gas cylinders for everyday cooking. When LPG availability becomes uncertain, preparing daily meals can quickly turn into a challenge.
In such situations, electric kitchen appliances can serve as practical alternatives. Devices such as induction cooktops, microwave ovens, and electric pressure cookers run on electricity and support cooking methods including boiling, frying, steaming, roasting, and baking. Used individually or together, they can handle most everyday cooking tasks that are typically done on an LPG cooktop.
Here are six kitchen appliances that can replace an LPG cooktop for everyday cooking.
1. Induction cooktop:
Can be a good alternative for your gas cooktop

2. Grill round G-coil hot plate electric cooktop:
In Case the Induction cooktop is running low on stock, you can use G-coil based cooktop as a good alternative. Not only it functions as a regular gas cooktop, but also let users do the regular cooking like making roti, paratha and the best part is that all cooking utensils — stainless steel, iron, aluminum, etc work on it like regular LPG cooktop.
This means, it can be used for boiling water, frying vegetables, making tea, or heating food. It functions in a manner similar to a single-burner stove and can act as a direct replacement for an LPG cooktop in many basic cooking tasks and it is pretty affordable too
3. Microwave oven:
A microwave oven heats food using microwave radiation that excites water molecules within the food. This process generates heat inside the food instead of heating the container. Many modern microwave ovens include convection features with heating elements and fans that circulate hot air. These units can bake, roast, grill, reheat, and boil food, allowing them to perform multiple cooking functions typically handled by a cooktop and oven.

4. Electric pressure cooker:
One Appliance, Many Uses
An electric pressure cooker contains a sealed cooking pot, a heating element, and pressure sensors. The appliance cooks food by trapping steam inside the pot, which increases pressure and temperature. It can prepare dishes such as rice, lentils, vegetables, and meat. Many models combine multiple functions including pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming, and sautéing. Users can select cooking modes and timers through the digital control panel.

5. Air fryer:
Saving Energy Without New Appliances
An air fryer cooks food by circulating hot air around it using an internal heating element and a high-speed fan. The process is based on convection, where heated air surrounds the food and cooks it evenly. Air fryers require very small amounts of oil, often a tablespoon or less. They are commonly used for frying snacks, roasting vegetables, baking small items, and reheating food.

6. Electric rice cooker:
An electric rice cooker includes a heating plate, a thermostat, and a removable inner bowl. The appliance boils water and cooks grains by maintaining controlled heat until the water is absorbed. Once the cooking process is complete, the thermostat switches the device to a warm mode. Some rice cookers include an additional steaming tray that allows users to steam vegetables, fish, or dumplings while rice cooks below.

7. Oven toaster griller (OTG):
An oven toaster griller uses metal heating coils located at the top and bottom of the chamber. The appliance includes temperature controls and a timer that regulate cooking duration and heat levels. OTGs are commonly used for baking cakes and bread, grilling vegetables or meat, and toasting food items. The heating coils radiate heat that cooks food placed on trays or racks inside the oven.
