I just like being able to put tortillas directly on the flame burner.

Staying indoors during rain can dramatically cut wetness.

Gas stoves have a place, and I'm not about to take away anyone's choice on the matter. With all that being said, to the title of this article, I say "duh".... Honestly, who thought that cooking using an open flame inside your home was somehow safer than the alternative?

I use electric, I've pretty much always used electric. I will continue to use some form of electric stove. I want to have complete control over the heat going into my cookware, and while it may not be as flashy or as quick to use electric, I can't see any situation where electric would not be safer.

Indeed, we're going with an induction stove top and a speed oven. Adios gas!

real men use diesel stoves

Growing up we usedgas. Mother's home (not our childhood home) also has gas. I'm in a home that is wired for either but had electric when I moved in. We had to replace the stove and I choose to keep it electric which surprised my mom. "But gas baking is so much nicer!" And no it's not. Electric interior was much easier and nicer to use. But she didn't bake much so lol.

I had gas stoves my whole life until about 5 years ago I when I moved into this home I live in now that doesn't have gas lines in the neighborhood. I have a glass top electric stove, not induction and after about a week of adjustment it suits my purposes just fine and I got used to it and it wasn't a big deal at all. I cook pretty much every meal my family and I eat at home too with 0 issues.

Cheap 90s era induction stoves in apartments that are still kicking give induction a bad name. New ones are the closest thing you can get to temperature control and speed of a full burner stove. My ideal would be an induction stove with one zone rounded for a round bottom wok. For a home kitchen, it's the best choice because you're not going to get the amazing jet burner stoves you get in commercial kitchens

A quality electric makes a big difference fwiw. I’ve gone through several types depending on where I lived. I gotta admit that gas is my favorite to cook on. Just so many ways to control heat, where the heat is, and how quickly the heat can be changed. Most electric cooktops and ovens are shit unless you buy an upper tier brand, and even then heating a big coil under a glass top is inefficient AF.

Just switched to induction. While not the same as gas, and it does have a few peculiarities, it is by far better than standard electric cooktops. Way fast, more efficient, easy. These need to come down in price to help win over people used to gas.

you don't say, captain obvious is on it again today

but i guess it's nice that we now have quantitative data on it

I'm suprised there are developed countries were gas stoves still are used, unless power is non-existant or in low quantity due to poor grid or fully off-grid.
