Infrared cookers heat fast, use less energy than coil stoves, and wipe clean easily. Prices in Uganda range from UGX 80,000 (single) to UGX 195,000 (double).
Why buy an infrared cooker in Uganda?
Instant heat helps busy Kampala households boil water and stew faster. Infrared works well with any flat pot and suits renters who need a compact cooktop.
Single vs Double — which to pick?
A single-plate cooker is ideal for one-pot cooks. A double-plate cooker lets you simultaneously cook rice and stew.
Energy use
A 2000W infrared plate uses roughly 2 units of electricity per hour at full power — cheaper than gas at current UGX rates.
