The price of gas for cooking - and the cost of electricity and of petrol - is government controlled in North Cyprus. There has just been an increase of 10 Turkish lira in the cost of a ten kilogram cylinder of gas for cooking, bringing it to 390 lira (€11.78, £10.05, $17.11 CAD). Actually don’t know how long a cylinder lasts as we didn’t finish one when we were here for two and a half months last year. Have had this one for over two months and suspect we’re cooking more this year than last. Most sites say that gas is usually less expensive to cook with than electric, though obviously this would depend on local energy prices.
We have reached the point of preferring it to electric though. It is much more responsive, though seems slightly less willing to keep a pot on a very slow simmer. Also very handy in the event of a power cut, though somewhat surprisingly we haven’t experienced one this year - knock on wood.
