Gas stoves vs electric stoves? A new culture war fight

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I have never heard of this culture war. I suggest we all pretend as if we had never seen this thread and go about our lives.

So we can grill for God's sake?

Gas, 100%. I've hated every single electric stove i've used over the past 4 years.

I like electric as it’s easier to clean a flat surface rather than having to deal with the grates of a gas stove.  It just overall seems simpler to me.

Not all electric stoves are flat, many have those coils you have to lift up to clean.

Our electric stove looks really nice in the middle of our kitchen island, and I think it is a "good" stove ... however, it is the weirdest stove ever.  It will go from literally doing nothing and cool enough to touch to completely torching whatever we're cooking in two seconds, lol.

You may need to replace a burner control switch.  Electric stoves work by running current through a bi-metallic strip that thermostatically opens and closes, interrupting the current at regular intervals to control the "average" current to the heating element.  If the switch is out then the stove will just run current continuously and overheat the element.

Gas stoves are simpler in that the control knob simply adjusts the rate of gas flow into the burner.  Higher flow = more heat.

Yeah I think induction is clearly preferable to both. Hopefully it will become cheaper and more common with time. Even in the newly built “luxury” housing here it’s still fairly rare.

Tbh induction has one big drawback in that it requires special cooking utensils, but once you buy them it is the best. In any case I think most induction setups also have 1-2 "standard" stoves. The setup I have back at home has 2 induction stoves (that get used like 80% of the time) and 2 regular electric stoves (usually used for the handful of pots that are not compatible with induction)
