The induction cooker is generally considered to be safer than a gas cylinder stove. While both appliances pose risks, the gas cylinder stove presents a higher risk of fire and explosion due to the presence of an open flame and the flammable gas it uses.

Gas cylinder stoves are more dangerous because they rely on a gas supply that is highly flammable. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), gas leaks from appliances are a leading cause of home fires. When gas leaks occur, they can ignite with a spark or flame, leading to a fire or explosion. In contrast, induction cookers use electromagnetic fields to heat pots and pans, eliminating the risk of open flames and gas leaks.

Data from the NFPA shows that in 2019, there were an estimated 56,600 residential structure fires involving cooking equipment, and gas cooking equipment was involved in 46% of these fires. This highlights the significant risk associated with gas cylinder stoves. Additionally, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that gas leaks from appliances resulted in 1,300 injuries and 100 deaths between 2002 and 2011.

Induction cookers, on the other hand, do not pose the same risks. They do not use gas, and the risk of fire or explosion is significantly reduced. While there have been reports of induction cookers causing burns or fires due to improper use or faulty equipment, these incidents are relatively rare compared to the number of fires caused by gas cylinder stoves.

In conclusion, the induction cooker is safer than the gas cylinder stove due to the absence of open flames and flammable gas. The data from the NFPA and CPSC supports this conclusion, showing that gas cylinder stoves are a leading cause of residential fires and injuries.
