  This just in… Sunlight causes cancer! Exactly why I have this big scab on my cheeks. Get screened folks, especially if it runs in your family

  Cooking in electric is fine, just different. I had an exposed coil stove for a while which was passable, but my glass top coil range is rather good. I grew up on gas and honestly my only complaint about electric is a bit slower heating time and it doesn’t react as fast as I’d like, but it’s not nearly as bad as people like to claim.

  There are two kinds of electric. Induction, and coil. Are you talking about induction or coil?

  I remember reading a study on this where all the scientists replaced their home ranges because the results were so bad.

  Yeah, I prefer my gas stovetop than any crappy induction.

  Have they reinvented buttons yet or do you spend your time long-clicking and watching out not to short the touch-screen-top with 1 drop of water?

  Jesting aside, induction is probably good but the bullshit that gas stoves causes cancer is just an unfounded lie. It’s like being scared of the microwave owen or “3G mobile”.

    I think you’ve confused coil for induction, and gas stoves definitely cause cancer. So do cars.

      Show me some propf of that, a scientific study. Make me change my views.

  we have a decent quality induction range and electric stove and we’d never bother considering to go back to gas

    I think that’s the thing though… You need to invest in a really good quality electric cooker to get something decent… Whereas any old?Cheap gas appliance will get the job done.

    Plus every electric hob I’ve ever used has got bullshit touch sensitive buttons that don’t like wet fingers.

  As other people have said, induction is alright. Way better than traditional electric anyway.

    More than alright, it’s amazing

  It depends. A really good induction stove is fine. The cheap ones they put in rentals are all really annoying though. Bad UI is my main gripe with them honestly.

    I think they are more than fine but bad UI is real
