omg, is this for real? weird how recent conspiracy rumbling about gvmnt taking away gas stoves may have been covering for a real conspiracy. First I’ve read about benzene in stove fumes. Like cooking w/gas

    Convection cooktops heat instantly as well, without needing combustion.

      I’ve had both, I find gas much more responsive to temperature changing. But you do you.

        Sure. I find inductive cooktops are close enough though, and without the dependence on fossil fuel.

          Wasted heat is the worst part. The sides and handles of any pan not oversized for the burner gets blazing got and the kitchen spikes in temperature. Gas takes forever to boil water as well.

          What do you think powers the house that powers the stove though? Coal is still the first option in many places.

            I get my energy from entirely renewable sources. Besides, the electric grid gets cleaner over time.

        Really? I have gas and a 50€ IKEA induction plate I use for frying outside and the latter heats oil up surprisingly quickly
