Free noodles lure Fremantle locals into a chat about ditching gas

An advocacy group in Fremantle, WA, called Electrify Fremantle, has launched an electric noodle bar as part of the city's Design Week. The event aims to demonstrate that giving up gas doesn't mean giving up on cooking with speed and ease. Wilf Johnston, one of the event organisers, believes that seeing and even tasting the benefits of an electric kitchen can dissuade people from relying on gas connections.

The event includes a flat-bottomed wok and a curved induction wok burner, which can reach temperatures required for authentic wok cooking. Electrify Fremantle encourages households to convert their appliances to electricity, which can then be powered by renewable energy. The group hopes that by sparking conversations about giving up gas, they can reach those who haven't yet considered the switch.
