Doesn’t the gas burned by your furnace all winter, night and day, dwarf the amount of gas you might burn with a gas cook top.

An electric oven with a gas cook top is the ideal option.

We have an electric stove (came with the place - no natural gas in the area anyway) I actually hate it. Instead of it working like the old coil units that actually regulated the amount of electrical resistance the burner received - so you knew by the setting (1-10) whether it was going to be hot-hot, hot-warm, warm, warm-cool, or cool. This thing has a thermostat that regulates the temperature by turning it off or on based on that. So it’s either 100% on and red hot or 100% off. And so easy to burn stuff on it. Even more frustrating, when it’s too hot and you lift the pan to keep it from burning, the burner senses that it’s now cooler (since you lifted the hot pan) and turns it up to 100%.

When it’s time to replace it I need to find one that’s not like that.

I HATE the electric stove in my apartment. It turns anything you bake into dark brown on one side and raw on the other. And there’s nothing like pancakes on the griddle on top that are more than done on one side and still watery on the other. I just bought a house and a brand new gas range to replace the gas cooktop and electric wall over, which is way too small. Heh!
