Get an induction stove.
Faster reaction than gas, better control and about 15% less electricity used than electric resistance heating.
Safer.
What's really going on is Demonrats are building an energy monopoly. Once they have that, energy costs get jacked 400%. Electricity is ideal because it can't easily be stored, and can be turned off remotely at the push of a button. Focus groups told them not to go after gas water heaters at this time, but boil the frog incrementally. They have a dream, and it's to make everyone else's life a nightmare.
Well DUH ! Why don’t you just get the proper ventilation hood installed.
Even electric needs a ventilation hood.
Because their designs suck and they are often in the unobtanium category.
I thought about that, thanks. Too many of my favorite pans would not work with induction. But I might get one of the portable single models.
I’m renting. For the lower end cost of installing a ducted vent a hood (necessary for gas) I can buy an electric range and take it to my next place. I have a sad NuTone hood they mounted over stove area but that’s just for (barely) capturing food particles, not exhausting gas combustibles up and out of the place.
That was my wife's objection many years ago to not get one.
Now she wishes she had done it sooner.
Good news is, cast iron works great on induction and we have a lot of cast iron stuff.
But I might get one of the portable single models.
That's what we started with. Nuwave, I think is how it is spelled.
They have a little less power than our stove cook top does, so everything takes a little longer, some a lot longer.
I have a 3KW inverter in our Zeppelin radio shelter on our Unimog, and use the portable ones while camping and at events.
