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

    It’s so weird because I’ve hated every electric stove I used and loved every gas one.

    One big reason is that when a gas burner is off it is no longer producing any heat. The number of times I’ve had a boil over or burned food because the heat doesn’t just turn off immediately makes me hate electric. And that’s just one reason.

        And then it’s getting cold while I wait for the burner to cool down. Oh, and now the burner is a burn hazard, and whatever boiled over is searing itself to the burners.

    • I disagree. The burner and grate retain a bunch of heat when you turn the gas off. Maybe not as much as the electric element but it’s still a consideration.

      Thanks for your response, I appreciate the dialog and wish people didn’t downvote you for having an opinion.
