Before this info about how unhealthy gas stoves are came out, I switched to an induction range. I really liked it then and still do now. Highly recommended.

I really don't get this love of gas stoves. You'd think electric stoves killed their parents.

There's a whole lot of people for whom "electric stove" means "giant metal coil that heats up in an uncontrollable way and contacts my cookware unevenly."

When my gas stove fails, I will almost certainly replace it with an electric induction stove. I have never used one, but my understanding is that they are just as easy to cook with as a gas stove.

However, old style electric stoves are still about half the price of induction stoves, and gas stoves are even cheaper. I can't fault someone for having to replace their range with something they can just barely afford instead of with something they can't afford at all.

Having used all three types a fair bit, holy shit yes a good induction hob is leagues above the old electric coil ones

someguy3 ,

There it is. Lol very controllable. The only way it doesn't contact properly is if you have warped pots. You also missed one of the electric stoves, is that the one that killed your parents?

You also missed one of the electric stoves, ...

Which one?

... is that the one that killed your parents?

Now I'm thinking you read someone else's comment and not mine.

I don't get it either. I hate them as well and I just see them as one more thing for landowners to fuck you over with on. I wanted to get into baking things at one point but because I baked a pizza for 20 minutes in my gas stove, that was like $15 on my utility bill on top of rent. Fuck that.
