Forgetting the global warming nonsense, electric stoves have a lot fewer downsides. They’re also easier to clean.

Let the games begin.

I much prefer gas for cooking as do basically all pro chefs too

Perhaps ventilation will help?

I have an electric stove, it is a step down from gas, one can adapt to its failings but why should people be constantly forced to have worse everything?

Turn off your stove.

Problem is over.

Then quit eating.

Asthma is reduced 100%.

I remember when the stove burned gas. There was no talk of climate change or asthma.

True, gas burners can irritate.

But you need induction, not those coils. Those coils are from another age. I mean, why make it better when you can have it worse?

OTH, meat needs gas heat on a grill.

This sounds like global warming deny you a gas stove via asthmatics. 🙄

I have gas and an indoor air quality monitor.

I open all doors and windows when I use the stove. Air quality crashes even with good exhaust fan.

Will shift to electric when I can.

Burning natural gas generates carbon dioxide, which is the main driver of climate change.

They're still spewing that lie. Stopped reading there.

My gas has never turned off in a winter storm.

Having alternative means of cooking (without breaking out camping gear and/or the grill and going outside) is a huge win.

My induction electric stove heats water faster than my microwave and AI says it is also faster than gas. I have a gas option but if I need a new stove I will continue with induction. I don’t care about climate change and no one in my house has asthma. I grew up with gas, it was better than electric coils but not better than induction.

So? Am I to assume that everyone who has a gas stove will eventually develop asthma? Or is it that I am supposed to assume that those with asthma are not able to obtain an electric stove? Which am I obliged to panic about and demand a total end to gas ranges?

I grew up in Connecticut. When the price of oil went sky high my parents used our gas oven to warm the house and cut the bill. It was also handy during power outages during a New England winter when an oil burner would not ignite without electricity. The gas range disn’t care.

As a former professional chef, modern induction cannot be beat at the home level not even with high end Viking ranges in the $15k price range. We have a dual electric set up at the big house. The island has this work of art in it and the counter side has a 48” pro grade radiant cook top for my high end anodized commercial grade pans and pots.

This can heat any size cast iron or carbon steel Debuyer to ripping hot in seconds much faster and with better temp control than gas ever could.

Most home could lack the skill set to even need such professional level tools but induction is a chef’s choice in a pro kitchen.

The only cooktop that beats it is a French Top and those are 20 grand for a home set up and you have to heat it for hours before hand so it reaches it thermal equilibrium point they are strictly for commercial use the average home user couldn’t afford the energy bill nor possess the skills to use it anyways.

I bought a very simple LP Gas Range about 6 months ago that requires NO AC to operate. All it takes is a single 9V battery. It does a great job cooking on the range top and the oven. We have a 500 gal propane tank (usually fill to 75%, lasts a LONG time.

If the power goes out? We can still cook. That happened again a week ago. Power was off from 4 PM until 1:30 AM. The issue was we had no air conditioning for that length of time. (It has been over 100 degrees every day for 4+ weeks. It was still hat in the evenings.)

Slow Biden is responsible for slamming the use of fossil fuel appliances. Pure Nonsense.

In the winter we rely on LP gas, and a backup up with fire places. (and 1 wood stove)

More follow the science, with an ulterior motive.

When winter hits and you have ice and snow and the electric lines are down I still have heat as I am on GAS! If worse comes to worse I can turn on the burners.

We use a 115 year old Glenwood Gold Medal combo gas wood/coal stove.

It’s got four gas burners on the right and four cooking plates on the left above the wood/coal stove. Above, it has an AutomatiCook regulated gas oven and a broiler, and below the range it has a large oven fed by the wood stove.

We love it. We’re in our mid 70s and just need to fend off the busy-body meddlers a little bit longer until we croak.
