With LPG prices on a near-permanent upward climb and supply disruptions making headlines, more Indian households are quietly pivoting to electric alternatives, without compromising on a single meal.

India's LPG crisis is far from over. Supply disruptions have led to restaurants cutting down menu options, in some cases even completely shutting down. The crisis has even left households stranded mid-meals. The good news? Your kitchen doesn't have to depend on a gas cylinder anymore. From air fryers to solar cookers, a new generation of electric kitchen gadgets is making it easier, and more affordable, than ever to cook without LPG.

Here are some affordable kitchen gadgets that do not require LPG.

1. Air Fryer

An air fryer fries, grills, bakes, and roasts using rapid hot-air circulation — no flame, no oil splatter, and no gas. Starting at Rs. 3,200 for entry-level models and going up to Rs/ 10,000+ for premium builds, it handles everything from pakoras to tandoori chicken with ease.
