>inb4 muh gas explosions

>>15042870
Lucky. My shitty apartment doesn't have gas hookups. All I got is glass top stove...

genuinely asking, is there anything special about gas stove ?
our 3rd word shithole government subsided lng to minimize the use of kerosene a decade ago, now even the poor have it their home

>inb4 muh gas expl--

>Gas stove master r-

>>15042936
Get a gas canister.

>>15042946
They tend to burn hotter, heat up quicker, and have more temperature control than even high-end flattop ranges, and coil ranges aren't really up for comparison on that.

>>15042948
>>15042957
Just don't leave it on for too long bro haha

Around gas
Never relax

>>15043111
Luckily, I'm not a retarded nigger.

>>15043111
Gas explosions only happen if you act like an absolute fucking retard with a gas stove

Might replace my electric stove with an induction stove when I get the money to.

>According to the NTSB's preliminary report, customers in the accident area received gas from a low-pressure (0.5 psi) distribution network which, in turn, was fed from a high-pressure (75 psi) main pipeline via regulators controlled by sensors measuring pressure in the low-pressure pipes. At the time of the accident, workers were replacing some of the low-pressure piping, but the procedure set out by Columbia Gas for doing this failed to include transfer of a regulator's pressure sensor from the old, disused piping to the new. As a result, when the old pipe was depressurized, the regulator sensed zero pressure on the low-pressure side and opened completely, feeding the main pipeline's full pressure into the local distribution network.

>The faulty procedure used caused natural gas to build up in homes within a matter of minutes. Multiple explosions and fires were reported over a very short period of time in the towns of Lawrence, Andover, and North Andover beginning about 4:15 pm (EDT). Through the evening emergency crews responded to between 40 and 80 fires. At one time, as many as 18 fires were burning at once, and Andover officials struck a maximum 10-alarm response.

a friend of mines house literally burned down from an electrical fire and he still refuses to have a gas stove because he thinks it's unsafe

>>15042946
No nothing special. Actually only third world countries have gas stoves nowadays. First world are all electrics
>>15045571
Ahah Americans all have a litteral bomb in their house.

>>15045643
I mean, I posted the Merrimack Valley explosion as an example of how you could be the smartest person in the world with a gas stove and still get blown to bits, just due to someone else's systemic stupidity.

>cook with gas, it explodes
>have an election, it explodes
>obesity and diabetes, it explodes
YOUU ESS AYE!

>>15045643
Gas explosions in non-American countries usually look more like this.

>>15045649
>systemic stupidity
'n sheit keepin us high IQ kangz down!

>>15045655
Look, you dumb cunt. If you can be bothered to read before you reply, don't bother replying.

House I grew up in didn't have gas, most of the houses on our street did.
None of the houses were insulated, pre-WWII construction.
My dad tapped into the neighbors gas line pre-meter and he and my grandfather installed the lines in our house.
Gas dryer, water heater, furnace, 3 fireplace inserts, BBQ, stove and wall ovens.
They used galvanized pipe and painted it black.
They did this in the middle 1960's. Parents died and I sold the house, suburb of San Francisco, Youtube headquarters is a few blocks away, thank you, thank you.
Passed all inspections.
Neighbor house was purchased and torn down, end of free gas.
Now the old house has no heat, no cooking, nothing.
Get sued, not my problem, here is the county inspection, my inspection, your inspection, house was sold as is. Never thought it was odd having all that gas and no bills.
PG&E tells the homeowner $75k in hookup. Plumber says $50k to 100k to correctly gas line the house. Utility said they owe maximum rate use per month for 10 years of ownership, plus fines and interest.
They tried to sue my parents estate again, estate is gone, after sale disbursements were made and the Trust was dissolved.

When the supply main blue up in San Bruno, I gulped a few times, gad explosion happened just up the road, news at first was vague, this was before the new owners discovered my dad's handy work, at first I thought shit dad's pipe work finally rusted through.

No gas for me, all electric, off grid, solar with battery wall for night time.

Feels good to be superior

Given the choice, gas is always what i'd go with.

That being said, a good induction top isn't BAD, I just find gas to be a much more intuitive heat to cook with. Especially for delicate temp control.

I've got a wooden fireplace in my house but instead of using it I decided to mount a metal bar across and hang meme pans from it

Imagine cooking with fire like some sort of caveman. How embarrassing.

>>15046598
To be fair, all the super high-end shit is pretty much all gas.

I've got a wooden stove in my kitchen but instead of using it I decided to mount a metal bar across and hang meme pans from it

>>15046607
There's some precedent for that, although usually it would be pots and pans designed to hang right way up.

>>15046658
oh yeah it's just some random post I saw though. they described it as a non-functioning wood stove in their kitchen and decided this was the best use for it rather than take a look at the flue

>>15046013
based

What's the benefit of a gas hob over other types? I've only used gas throughout my life so I don't know how they compare to others.

>>15046801
More intuitive heat.

You can see a flame and roughly gauge how hot it is based on size and color.

You simply can't do that with induction or electric hobs.

If I want a low simmer, i wont look at the knob for the hob to gauge the temp, I'll look at the flame.

1) I'm not a chef; 2) Fuck you; 3) You want to pay to run a gas line into my house? 3) Fuck you; 4) I can think of at least two Michelin-starred chefs right now whom I know have glass-tops; 5) Fuck you, you elitist fuck; 6) Get with the fucking times, gas comes in behind modern, high-end electric and induction ranges in nearly every objective test you could devise

>>15046871
>I can think of at least two Michelin-starred chefs right now whom I know have glass-tops
name and shame anon, that's just embarrassing.

>>15045913
God he's such a fag...
I bet he pukes after having sex with his wife.

>>15046605
American high end is all gas you mean.
Here in Europe only white trash use gas. You can even buy a gas stove in a regular store.

>>15046551
Cute, but where's the exhaust hood? Unless this is just for decoration

>>15047453
You're supposed to inhale the gas fumes. It gives you a little buzz and makes you forget that your pasta water has been heating for one hour and still not boiling.

>>15047453
>>15047472
Range hoods are not at all required. There is no particular danger, especially in an open kitchen with plenty of airflow.

GAS MASTER RACE RISE UP. GET THOSE OVENS WARM.

>>15046013
Thanks for sharing

>>15047512
>>15047518
Both of those look more like film sets rather than functional kitchens. It's not a danger issue, its a smell and grease buildup issue.

I pay a flat fee yearly: $125 for my gas oven.
How much do anon pay for their electricity monsters?

>>15047533
Both of which are non-issues in a well-ventilated kitchen.

Also, clean your fucking walls. No more grease buildup.

>>15046013
Great story. I bet those new owners were as pissed as one could be. Still like gas though.

>>15042870

Is this real? What video is this on?

for me, it's a stand along induction stove top + dual wall oven combo
