Is cooking with gas really that much better than electric/induction stoves or is it just a meme?

>> No.7019995

stop saying meme.

>> No.7020000

Yes.

>> No.7020021

Yes, much like Chris Pratt movies and being left-handed, gas topped ranges are simply memes.

why though, induction can boil a huge pot of water in 2 minutes when a gas stove takes like 15 minutes

>Has to ask

How come you've never cooked with gas, OP?

Gas gives finer control when sauteeing and there's very little residual heat once it's turned off.

The best solution would be a combination induction/gas cooktop.

the ideal oven would have a mix of different hobs

You ever live in a rural area? Well, everyone has gas ranges because of power outages.

Growing up, we would lose power for a week straight just about once a year. We had a generator, but powering a range/oven is quite difficult. I grew up about 90 miles north of NYC, so it wasn't even total bum-fuck.

You don't know what rural is, tbh
Natural gas? nope
Propane stove? too much $
I don't even have cable and that's the way I likes it

I live about 20 minutes from Midtown Manhattan and I have gas range. My parents have it too, and my cousins who live IN Midtown have gas ranges, so I don't think it's only a rural thing.

Tbh I always thought of gas as being a luxury, while other stove types were for poor people.

that's how it prettymuch is tbh

only reason to have induction is if you live in a dorm and the urban planners didn't want retards to blow the place up

Pretty much every apartment in NYC has gas because the buildings are so old that it's hooked up that way.
