The Indonesia Cooking Diaries Study

The Indonesia Cooking Diaries Study assessed the transition from LPG to induction stoves in South Jakarta. While participants noted efficiency and cost-saving potential, they faced challenges with electricity spikes, kitchen layouts, and cookware compatibility. The study suggests that induction stoves may serve as complementary tools rather than total replacements in the short term and recommends infrastructure upgrades and financial incentives to support national goals of reducing LPG imports.

• Participants generally viewed induction stoves positively, citing perceived cooking speed and long-term cost savings, though they encountered practical hurdles including electricity consumption spikes, kitchen layout constraints, and a learning curve for cooking techniques.
• The study indicates that induction stoves may function as complementary tools rather than complete replacements for LPG in the short term, but notes that the use of low-power modes without sacrificing results could make the technology accessible to households with lower electricity connections.
• Broad adoption of induction stoves requires infrastructure improvements, specifically regarding electricity grid capacities and kitchen designs, as well as policy interventions such as subsidies and educational initiatives.
