Break up with her.

>>12211148
Dude! Gross. You want that guy to cut his hand off?

>>12211136
That's irrational and unbelievable. I guess if you only grew up with an electric stove a gas stove might be intimidating, but being that irrationally afraid of it is unbelievable. You trolling.

>>12211221
>That's irrational and unbelievable.
It is which is why I am mad
>I guess if you only grew up with an electric stove a gas stove might be intimidating,
correct, zoomie in a country where induction stoves are now the norm
>but being that irrationally afraid of it is unbelievable.
well she is a woman and a zoomie, plus when she tried a gas stove she burned her fingertips and her pasta was a disaster(somehow, i wasn't even there)

>You trolling.
I wish

Imagine being so annoyed you have to complain it on 4chan like a bitch

You are worse then your gf

w..what?

>>12211136
God, fucking cry about it. Stop dating your "zoomie" gf if you despise her so much you stuffy piece of shit.

>>12211136
tell her those produce emf radiation and will give her cancer

>>12211136
baby steps. Get her to do something simple on the gas range. Maybe saute something while the ... whatever you call those electric things, is cooking something else.

>what in the living hell is wrong with zoomies?
Is this another thread where some old, decaying 30 year old refuse to understand the views of others, and seek reassurance from their fellow fossils? As far as I'm aware, her fear of open flames have nothing to do with the generation she was born into. I honestly cannot wait till the day I am able to spit in the graves of Millennials, they have the entitlement and mindset of Boomers without any of the numbers to back them up culturally and economically, and as a result is responsible for the rise in progressivism and the demand for mollycoddling in our society.

He's implying that his girlfriend is his hand.

i tried and even found a bogus link to show her
she said "as if the chemicals that the gas gives out are any better"
>>12211444
this might just work, also creating a positive association between gas stoves and pleasant feelings
>>12211456
this a pasta?
>her fear of open flames have nothing to do with the generation she was born into
all women used gas stoves before the retarded devilry in OP was invented dumb zoomie

What other methods of heating up food that didn't involve a flame either directly or indirectly were there? I don't use electric stoves myself, but I understand that people who prefer a seemingly safer method will use it.

>>12211463
I forgot to add how old you are getting, how your muscles are atrophying, how your brains are wasting away, how your figure is shrivelling. I am glad that time flew by so quickly, finally the era of entitled 90s kids dominating the web is coming to a close, and guess who's next in line, old man?

>>12211434
You fix it by exposure. Show her how to use it. There's no magic trick to using a heat source.

>>12211136
My ex didn't refuse to try, she just naturally sucked at it. She had her good points, cooking wasn't one of them.

>>12211472
>What other methods of heating up food that didn't involve a flame either directly or indirectly were there?
well I suppose you had ovens and fire stoves where u put the pan on top
>>12211480
nice tism fit zoomie
>>12211481
that's what I'm thinking as >>12211444
said.. maybe "fun" cooking together while being affectionate

>>12211489
>ovens and fire stoves
Both of which used flames retard, or gas heating at least.

>>12211508
>Both of which used flames retard
the flames are not visible they're not "open flame"

Are millennials the worst generation ever? Gen x are cool, and zoomers are amusing but millennials are just cancer, always complaining and crying

I'm a guy. I turned 30 last month.
You're just a piece of shit. Dating a girl half your age, no less, which is creepy as fuck.

>>12211521
most everyone that gets called millenials are actually zoomers so no
if you don't remember 9/11 you're automatically a zoomer

>>12211524
>You're just a piece of shit. Dating a girl half your age, no less, which is creepy as fuck.
Is your boyfriend your age? Or are you single?
I bet you have the luxury of picking since you're such a charmer

There's a clear pattern where every other generation will always be culturally worse than the generations before and after it. The Lost Generation lived a luxurious life in the 20s and left nothing but economic stagnation and poverty for the Greatest Generation, who grew up during the Great Depression and fought in World War 2. The Silent Generation which came after were very insignificant, which is the only exception to the rule, however the Boomers then came along and with their strength in numbers, introduced progressivism and all sorts of societal illnesses to the west, sexual promiscuity became the norm and life became easy for them as the economy also shifted in their favour. College costs coincidentally increased rapidly after most of the Boomers had graduated. If that wasn't enough to prove that Boomers are a parasite on society, it's the same Boomers who eventually took positions of power in the education system to indoctrinate the Millennial generation who would have been old enough to go to college by the time Boomers became professors. Boomers ruined the economy and who gets to carry the burden? Generation X, they were relatively reasonable compared to the cancerous generation that followed - the Millennials. The attitude that the Boomers left behind were adopted by the Millennials, the same sense of entitlement, the same levels of promiscuity, the same sense of superiority to the following generation. It's too bad that the Millennials were neutered by the Boomers, who had introduced the norm of having fewer children and leaving childcare to third parties in pursuit of second jobs during a poor economy to the Gen X'ers, because the Millennials don't have the numbers to back up their pathetic mindset, and they (along with Boomers) will be remembered as the generations that nearly destroyed western society, only barely saved by Generation Z.

>>12211565
There's a lot of shit here, so the only thing I'll say is that I've seen no empirical, non-anecdotal evidence that any of the generational stereotypes are true.

>>12211136
Motherfucker listen. I had to do road trips for my company, that was so fucking cheap, that they never reimbursed me for meals while I was 400 miles from home... I wised the fuck up, and bought one of those things, as well as a compatible pot and pan, and a rice cooker / steamer, and believe me when I say, dick face, those things are a god damn life saver. I probably saved about $8000 in a year of traveling with one of those fucking things in my suitcase. I'd like to punch you in the face for having such a pussy life.

>>12211524
What the fuck is your problem, its a free country you son of a bitch, as long as two loving individuals who are capable of forming consent agree to a loving relationship, there's nothing wrong with that -

YOURE probably just some old feminist geezer that wants to once again lock off the sex market and monopolize it so you can try to force men to dust off your vacated pleasure holes, go fuck yourself bitch, and value Freedom, or you can GIIIIT OUT

>>12211639

WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

>>12211136
Honestly, unless you're doing something that requires very precise temperature control these things are fine - assuming you have a quality set of cookware (copper bases are essential)

The house I'm in currently has no kitchen facilities at all (it was from a time when cooking was done over the kitchen fireplace which is broken now, and the kitchen was never modernized and no natural gas connection) so I have to use one of these induction cook tops and it works pretty well.

fuck zoomers, but zoomies are cute.

>>12211136
>And what can I do to change that?
lay hands
>More importantly what in the living hell is wrong with zoomies?
they refuse to lay hands, bunch of pussies

>>12211136
>What's worse, my zoomie gf refuses to use gas stoves because they are "dangerous" and "scary"
>Does your SO refuse to use one cooking accessory or the other for some crazy reason too?
Yea, my wife flatout refuses to have anything gas operated in the house, for fear of it breaking and causing an explosion.

>And what can I do to change that?
Not much, if you want to keep her. That is mostly an irrational fear, rational arguments won't help (and believe me, I've tried).

Get an induction range - they're really the next best thing. Yes, I know, the heat isn't gone just as fast as turning off a gas flame, but they're way better than a classic or ceran range.

Biggest problem with induction (and I like induction) is that most cooktops for home use cant be turned down enough for something resembling a simmer. 400W is the usually the lowest seting, 300W if you are lucky. That is still way too high for a simmer, even with a one gallon pot full of potatoes. The only portable inducction top with a low enough setting (100W) is th IKEA Tillreda. It has got really respnsive toich controls too, and a timer. It doesnt haave temperature regulation though, I really miss that function. It works so great for keeping tea, coffee or soups and stews warm. YOu can even use it for a poor man's sous vide device. if you have enough money and space I'd seriously consider getting a Tilreda and another cheap induction top with temperature function.

>>12211136
just explain to her why gas isn't dangerous it's low pressure, has a pilot light for leaks, etc), teach her how to light it easily, and then cook something on it with her. she'll need to figure out how it's different from electric stoves- the sides of the pan heat up, it's hotter, etc.

women are like children anon. You shouldn't be mad at them for not understanding things. Just teach them in a fun and nice way.

>>12211156

>>12211136
If the power goes out (earthquake, storm, fire, city forgot to pay the bills, whatever) the electric stove won't work. Gas, on the other hand, should work regardless of power outage, and can be lit with a match, meaning you don't have to worry about being stuck with cold shit. Unless, of course, the gas line itself is damaged, and in that situation the power is probably already down anyway.

In other words, gas stoves are just more reliable.

>>12211136
"Watch this"
>begins tossing fried rice on the stove and making a huge mess, with rice sent directly into the burning flame, but nothing catches fire because only oil is low-ignition enough to maintain a fire

Ignorance is the greatest danger.
She's probably scared of the goddamn knife.
