I had an electric stove for 2 years in my old apartment, and it sucked. I would find myself burning things, and hated the wait for it to "warm up". There's like a "crap factor" when it comes to adjusting how you cook on an electric stove, imo. One key advantage to having the gas is during a blackout you can still cook and use your burners. That is a HUGE deal to someone who doesn't own a generator or anything of the like during a power outage (especially during the winter where it would be difficult to start my outside grill). Now, one thing I don't have a lot of experience with are induction ovens/stoves. I've used that maybe a handful of times, so that's why this topic is here. Not sure how good they are compared to electric. I'm not going to give up gas anything until the government goes after the big boys, first. When I see the cruise industry finally being effected by their extreme use of fossil fuels or people who own private jets....then I will consider using other things. Until then, me as the little guy, I'm not changing. --- "With half my brain tied behind my back - just to make it fair." <cite>Caution999 posted [p:962723879] in Are YOU wi...

Okay, well is the plan to get rid of gas stoves only once we're at 100% clean energy?

monkmith 02/17/22 9:29:13 AM #11:	gas is shit. its a huge waste and you run the risk of lighting things on fire. coil electric aren't great but induction ranges beat the hell out of both coil and gas. the major benefit of induction is that there's not a huge amount of waste heat produced. --- Taarsidath-an halsaam.

I was under the impression that natural gas is a cleaner source of energy than most electric generation. Gas stoves leak methane even when not in use: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/27/climate/gas-stoves-methane-emissions.html Gas stoves leak significant amounts of methane when they are being ignited and even while they are turned off, according to a new report, adding to the growing debate over the effects of gas-powered appliances on human health and climate change. The small study based on measurements from cooktops, ovens and broilers in 53 homes in California estimated that stoves emit between 0.8 and 1.3 percent of the natural gas they consume as unburned methane, a potent greenhouse gas. During the course of a typical year, three-quarters of these emissions occur when the devices are shut off, the study showed, which could suggest leaky fittings and connections with gas service lines. Over a 20-year period, emissions from stoves across the United States could be having the same effect in heating the planet as half a million gas-powered cars, the study estimated. --- Have you tried thinking rationally? <cite>Intro2Logic posted [p:962725542] in Are YOU wi...
