I don't mind cooking on electric. I actually prefer it. My first house had a gas stove and when my daughter was a baby I used to heat a dutch oven full of water to make her formula. It took forever for the water to boil on the gas stove. This was an acient stove, mind you. It was yellow, so that should date it to about, what? 1975?
But when I moved to a new house where there was no gas, I could boil water in half the time on my electric stove.
I don't like these new electric cook tops, though. They work OK. I can adjust the heat just as well as any gas cook top. I can't just frigging clean the damn thing. What a mess. | Actually I was describing my perfect "Guy Kitchen". IOW an outdoor BBQ command post of stone. I want the gas because it makes lighting charcoal or wood simple. Me and the Mrs. are still searching for the perfect home. We thought we had it, but the seller wanted us to buy the place for 110K and it needed about 10K worth of repairs. The deal fell apart when he offered 500 bux as a repair allowance.
