Hear you. My oven, however, is an electric convection and I love how it cooks as does my wife. No hot/cold spots. Cooks dead evenly and very quickly. The stove’s a DeLonghi semi-commercial job. Simple, no electronics, barebones five burner, big oven and cooks great.
We use propane to cook and for hot water. So a little goes a long way. We heat with wood - just took delivery of another cord today. All of which these shitlib rat democrats want to ban.
While not the reason stated. I can see not having natural gas in California cities. When “The Big One” finally strikes broken gas mains could be a real problem.
On Guam if you had a gas stove you had a propane tank. They did not have gas lines for just that reason.
But, as I wrote, that is not the reason they want to ban gas stoves.
When my parents started getting forgetful, I capped my gas and got an electric stove. Its not as good, but have greater peace of mind. I’m a lousy cook anyway.
I suppose we could always use clay ovens and charcoal.
Yes, after Hurricane Ida rains, several homes blew up in my area. The structures shifted causing gas leaks.
underscores how the culture of democracy often is the culture of fads...
It’s what our founders warned us AGAINST!
It’s why we are supposed to be a republic...
“There are an estimated 60 million people of Hispanic origin living in the United States. There are roughly 20 million people of Asian origin in the country, nearly 5 million of whom are Indian and more than 5 million of whom are Chinese.
Telling them that the way they cook their food is bad for the environment certainly is a peculiar position for Democrats to be in.”
With a FUNCTIONAL Republican Party, we’d be all over this crap. But, of course, they’re not. So the Democrats can continue to get away with it, because they know the GOP will NOT call them out*.
*that’s due to the GOP not being able to find anyone who can speak Asian or Indian.
My sister has a Blackstone griddle and makes the best cheeseburgers. It seems like I’ve seen videos where some put pots on it and cook beans or whatever while they do other stuff. In the restaurant biz they had big griddles built in and they used them as a heating surface for pots as well as the gas flame top burners.
The wok on an electric stove does not work!
I tried it. The temperature necessary and the consistent application of heat cannot be attained, nor sustained on an electric stove.
I get your point and I agree completely.
Once my four year old turned on all the burners on our old no-pilot gas stove. I only discovered it because I was getting so-o-o-o tired and really needed to stay awake to study for a final exam so I got up and went into the kitchen to put some coffee on. Seeing the turned knobs I switched them all back and grabbed the nearest of my two now sleeping little ones and put her out on the lawn, ran back in and repeated with the other then the dog. Everyone woke up after a few minutes.
I cook outside at least once a week usually on a Kamado style charcoal grill, I had a old Weber gas grill that i had used for than 20 years, it was in need of numerous repairs and the price for the parts was about the same as he Blackstone griddle, I’m very pleased with it so far
Yes a dual fuel is the ticket - gas cooktop and electric convection. Yes that is pricey - $5k+ for the stove. But a middle tier home could budget that into construction.
All the higher tier homes I work on have seperate gas cooktop’s - usually Wolf and built-in electric double oven
or oven/microwave combo’s. Lot’s of drawer type microwaves which I like very much - easy to get hot pots out of without the possiblity of spilling hot stuff all over yourself.
Actually they are. None of the heat goes out the chimney.
Cheaper to run? Nope.
Electric Heat is not as warm as gas heat. Gas just keeps the room warmer for some reason.
Open restaurants just outside the city limits.
Gas furnace, gas water heater, gas stove/range, the only thing missing is my gas heater in my hot tub and life would be complete. The immediacy of the house heat, hot water and cooking, cannot be beat. I have been thinking of putting in a gas powered electric gennie. The house would then be perfect.
Well an 880 volt electric wok would work pretty good…
I live in Sicily. I paid ~$600 for the stove I have. Caught it on a flash sale down from $1600. Big stovetop, big oven and built like a tank. Nothing digital - even the timer’s mechanical. My wife says that when we move the only appliance she insists taking with us is that stove. Lol! Yeah, I was a builder for years - noticed that trend coming on strong around 2000.
