Title: Gas or Electric Stove
Post by: Nancy5 on July 31, 2015, 08:29:46 am
What do you have?  We have total electric, there are no gas lines to any of the houses around us.  I would love to have a gas stove but will not pay the crazy price to have a line put in.  :(

I have an electric stove and prefer it to gas ... when you have cats you can't always predict when they will decide to jump up on the counter or stove ... even if they are taught not too

We have a gas stove and I prefer gas to electric for cooking.  I've cooked on electric before and its hard to adjust.  I'm sure I could get used to it but don't really want to. lol  We have gas heat also.

Years ago, I got very sick from a gas leak in my apartment. I have refused to have gas since that time.

Unfortunately I have a gas stove that I can't use unless I switch it to propane. Everyone around here has electric and it's sad because TN is not deregulated, so the electric company charges way too much! Right now we're living in the trailer with a gas stove, but when we move into the house I might have to buy an electric stove.

I have an electric stove it is so much cleaner then a gas stove but it does have its draw backs as it is harder to get adjusted and slower to cool down. My ideal kitchen would be too have an area for an electric stove plus and another area for a gas range. I cannot use a big pressure canner on my electric stove as it has a glass top. It is too heavy.  Of course then I would like to have a 3 compartment along with a hand washing sink.  But since I can't have the kitchen of my dreams I will settle with what I have.  At my age probably do not need to do so much canning anyway You just can't take the country out of a country girl.

I have a gas stove, but I'd prefer an electric one. It would eliminate an entire bill (gas bill) and I hear they do a better job of hearing quickly.

I've used an electric stove for many years and prefer it to gas.  The gas flame makes me nervous.  I have a glass flat-top stove which is so easy to keep clean, unlike the electric coils of years ago.

So do I. Plus, they work when the electricity goes out if you have a lighter.  :)

I have always cooked with a gas stove.  I have never used an electric stove so I don't know if an electric stove is better or not.  Either way I don't cook that much.  I probably use the microwave more.

We have electric.  Had gas growing up.  Would much rather have gas, I believe it's easier to control the heat level.   Turn it off, it's off.  Electric burners take a while to cool down.

I have an electric stove. Too scared to have a gas stove. Call me paranoid  ::) but I am kinda like that character Aunt Josephine, from the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events! LOL I think if I had a gas stove it would explode and kill me.  :o :confused1:
Everything in my house is electric and I am thankful!  :thumbsup:

I have gas and preferred to electric, I have cooked on both and the gas for me is easier, I understand that the new models of electric are very good but I still prefer gas, I have bought to houses in my life, from builders and have made sure to get them to give me gas stove,  I do not have cats but that is a good point.

Post by: plennis on August 28, 2015, 02:57:16 pm
I have had gas and I have had electric.   I feel that gas is head and shoulders above electric.  Every unit that I have had heats and cools quicker.  The electric you feel heat long after it says it is cool.  If a stove is hot and the cat jumps on it, I don't see why electric or gas would make a difference.

I have an electric stove. It is a black flat panel stove. There are some things I like and some things I don't like. I like the fact that it is so much easier to clean.

I like vickysue's idea of having one of each.  My electric stove needs to be replaced and I'm having a hard time deciding what to get.  I cook on a gas stove at our river home and I feel like it's way harder to adjust than my electric stove, but the oven cooks so much better!!!  I would like to combine the the best parts of both, please!

I have a gas stove. I have cooked on an electric stove and much prefer the gas. Heats faster and better control.
Now the oven- thats a different animal. I have a gas oven and I prefer the electric.

My dream kitchen would have a gas range and dual wall electric ovens. If you are going to dream, dream big!

I have a gas stove/oven.   I LOVE it because it has such a "homey" feel when using it but....I only use it in the winter time.  (My personal preference.)  I have a single electric burner, slow cookers, and a Nu Wave oven that I use during Spring/Summer months.)  I don't cook that much & bake even less in Spring/Summer months, so I'd have no use for an electric stove.
Title: Re: Gas or Electric Stove
Post by: AnnaKiki on August 30, 2015, 11:00:08 am
I have had both, but where I live now the only gas choice is propane. I do use the propane in my RV, but it doesn't burn as high as natural gas. I always hated the way electric stoves stay hot for awhile. It bothered me with little kids around. I would say they both have pluses and negatives.

we have had both we used to have an electric when we lived at my old house but since we moved into our new house we have gas and my husband is way happier.  me too because i hated how the top would constantly be getting scratched and since i can veg and fruits at the end of the year it makes it so much easier to do without having to worry that the glass top will shatter.
