I hate cooking gas. IED that could go off anytime. I read it in the news that one just killed wife of a prominent Nigerian.

cookie27:

She didn't ask which is the fastest. She asked which brings out the taste. Every good cook knows that there's nothing like good old firewood or charcoal smoke to really give flavor to ANY meal. Large fast food chains may not use them because of industry regulations and such, but nothing beats firewood. NOTHING.

@OP I've invested in a small coal pot to cook with once in a while when I crave that "ijinle" taste in any of the meals I cook or when I have guests over for sunday lunch and each time, I have my guests asking for more. The taste of traditional soups and stews (efo, gbegiri, omi obe, palm oil-fried pepper) and meals (jollof rice, yam pottage, beans) is especially enhanced.
in fact, u don finish work. U 2 much

Conner44: i and my friend are currently arguing about this topic.

He says they all taste the same and the only difference is the time it takes to get the food done.

As for me i believe that firewood is the best for bringing out the taste of any cooking, my mum and grand mum both confirmed this fact.

But for the benefit of doubt, i will like more views on this issue. Can anyone add their observations please . . .

Sorry o mr old skool

Obe to dun owo lopa.

Those days Our mummy cook with fresh leaf and some other materials you can not see anyhow today, Try to get those things and use your Gas to cook it I promise you will eat your tongue.

The firewood is the X factor. Meals from firewood always taste best.

@lilkech: maybe kerosine or smoke or gas adds up to the taste of food. D fact s dat food prepared wt firewood usually tastes different and better even most times. It ha nothing to do wt anyone's individual taste bud :p

lilkech: im sorry to say this but both your mums must be really old croonies to be spreading that false tale to their future generations. I am sure if i dont set the records straight you would go ahead to misinform your own children.

FIREWOOD: fast

STOVE: faster

GAS: fastest

easy as a.b.c, the only difference is that in the case of the firewood smoke from the fire manages to mix into the food and that gives it a kind of 'smokey' taste. If this taste is what your taste buds recognize as being 'sweet' then you are seriously on a very very long thing.

Why Mr. Biggs and Tantis never dey use firewood dey cook for their kitchen since? abi nor be 'FAST & SWEET' foods be their business? or u go wan talk say e better to use candle light take read for night pass electric bulb because na wetin ur mama and grandmama been use that year?

Actually adding a smokey taste to food is well practiced by top chefs for some menus. If you follow the british cooking series MasterChef you would see on occasions despite being in jand they would bring in some pieces of wood/charcoal into their professional kitchen just to add that smokey taste to food.

But with regards to the question I think it all depends on ur like for the smokey taste. People who don't like would count other means as the winner while people who have that craving would vote firewood the winner.

@lilkeach may b u have not cook wit firewood or eat a meal cooked from firewood. let me correct u, its not about d smoke. infact if smoke mistakely enter d food on fire, forget d taste cos u will nt enjoy it. But d flavor is based on hw d food "rotate" inside d pot and d person cooking d food.

Naturally, under even conditions, the food cooked with firewood will taste better because it cooks slowly, bringing out every taste of the food in the process. Ever wondered why the local mama put tastes better? To confirm this, when cooking with a gas cooker, just turn down d burner to d lowest possible and see for yourself.
