We replaced the electric range that came with our house with a gas one and I'll never go back to conductive electric heat. I really, really wanted a range with two induction and two gas burners - but I can't remember if they didn't exist or were insanely expensive. I do know that a gas cooktop and electric stove (i.e. "dual fuel") are available in high end ranges.How do you char a pepper?
I'm honestly not looking for efficiency when I cook. Grilling is incredibly inefficient from a cost and energy stand point, given I'm burning chunks of charcoal that are trucked in from Missouri and paying some 50 cents a pound for the honor. I'm looking for results.
When we redid our kitchen the only thing I really cared about was discarding the electric stove and installing a gas one. And I did. And it's more awesomer.
Gas stoves are the best to cook on. I hate electric stoves. Instead of encouraging better ventilation, they just decide to ban gas stoves...?
I think you're thinking of those abysmal glass cooktops with a heater underneath. Induction surfaces don't get hot - it's heats the metal pan, not the cooktop surface.Yes they do, but they are fragile. You must be careful, shaking a pan by sliding back & forth and to flip/stir contents will scratch the glass surface and if spillage is left to burn on the hot surface it can "etch" the area permanently.
A stick lighter works just a well, right?As someone who loves to do lots of flambe` style dishes I much prefer a gas cooktop.
What he said.Ban gas stoves, then reversal, is the latest shiny object they're using for distraction.
This isn't about stoves, just like California banning the sale of gas powered cars in a few years isn't about cars.
It's about control.
You (or your community) have been naughty, no electricity (heat, internet, travel) for you.
I prefer to think of them as standard capacity.
So very much THIS^^^^^When we redid our kitchen the only thing I really cared about was discarding the electric stove and installing a gas one. And I did. And it's more awesomer.
Wonder if we can get Davos nuked sometime next week and blame it on the Russians
The world would be a better place…Wonder if we can get Davos nuked sometime next week and blame it on the Russians
sorry didn't see the was part.....I have one, that's why I know it's only $250/mo at worst. I believe fully variable and 97~98% efficient? It's been a minute since I had it installed.
