As an architect considered about occupant health I recommend electric for superior indoor air quality. Do you always open the windows when you cook? Probably not.
We renovated our kitchen this year and went with electric. I'm not comfortable with flammable gas venting into the kitchen, especially if there's a leak.
Thx for this video. I'm trying to decide how to set up my rental property. A lot of people like gas stoves and enjoy them more but I also think electric can be safer (no fire no flame? ) . And it gets pretty cold in northern CT and ice heard of gas-lines freezing though I don't know how often that actually happens. What do you think?
High power electricity to run a stove in addition to other appliances might not be available in old homes. Precise control to stop food from boiling over. I can see and hear when gas is on, but not a flat pad heated not quite to incandescence. Gas might release more water vapors, but at the point when that matters electric would have guzzled up a lot of money. Why would a gas stove cost more? The piping and nozles are simple parts.
Im not a sales guy but I owned an electric and it took 1 chemical, 1 razor blade and electric stove top acrub brush and cleaning weekly. When I switched to gas I havent needed to clean my cast iron once. They burn off and I just have to clean the stove top itself. The only problem I have is the ignitor on my used unit is iffy and wont work on 1 of the burners but it's a simple fix with a lighter or wafting the flame from the front burner to the back when the gas is on.
You have a good point. I live in an area where electricity goes out frequently in the whole neighborhood. It's just the way it is. I don't even bother setting my microwave or stove clocks b/c there will be a power failure. It's awful.
totally disagree about the cleaning part. The electric stoves are difficult to clean if your food spills over and touches the heated surface. It is a permeant damage to the stove surface. Not to mention scratches that might come from trying to clean after any spill over.
The house I grew up in had a gas stove, now after moving out and having to use electric stoves for 4 years I CAN'T WAIT to have another gas.Sure, there are potential safety concerns involving gas, but it heats faster, you can instantly take away the heat (electric still has a hot surface after turning eye down), and can actually season my cast iron skillets properly. I hate electric stoves!!
Unless it's induction, electric is pretty much inferior in every way. Cooking on electric is unresponsive and miserable. Even keeping them clean sucks! Flat tops look absolutely filthy after one use-gas takes a while to get dirty.
electric is far inferior for cooking but superior for respiratory health (high VOC emissions associated with gas - some of which become hazardous without an externally vented range hood)
With gas, you have so many things that can go wrong! From Carbon Monoxide poisoning to elevated fire risks, I’m going Electric, all the way. Heck, I’ll even get a house with all electric appliances installed with it!
@Carolyn you are welcome, but it might cost bit more than gas range but induction cook top will reward in the long run , by saving electricity compare electric and gas range, and way more safe for children , elders etc... which will always be my priority as a home owner or otherwise.
The methane and propane fanatics never consider indoor air quality, vent hoods are never efficient enough to completely clean the air. Gas stoves make the air foul.

As electrician I recommend gas stoves and food 🥘 taste better

@@aethelwolfe3539 That is what ventilation is for.
I initially just wanted to see speed queen vs Maytag and I’ve watched like 10 review videos. Great work.

As someone who loves to cook, all I can say is that gas is ALWAYS better.
Until you realize you are breathing in poisoned air in your face.
@@aethelwolfe3539 Yea, right.
Whatever....

If you're a real chef, try to use a wok on an electric stove.

I prefer gas stove because if the power goes out in the house and you have an electric stove, you got nothing to cook on compares to a gas stove
Pay the bill
How often does power go out, holmes? LMAO.

easy off oven cleaner and a new box cutter blade
Gas stoves poison the air. You need windows and a fume hood at full blast to clean the air afterwards.
That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read
What is better in terms of quality of cooking semolina cookies?
I'm scared to cook on those flat top electrics. What if my cast iron cracks it? Just a worrisome thought.
I am scared to cook on gas stoves. What if it explodes?
@@anhbayar11 As long as there are no leaks in the lines then there shouldn't be an accident. Though they say electric is cleaner. Don't know.
What about ovens?

2023 is gas stove still cheaper than electric? Because my gas bill has close to 3x
You're not alone !
Bro lmfao you can completely ruin an electric glass top stove get renters and come at me😂
"Learn the TRUTH About Big Box Appliance Dealers:" Right.
Qualified opinion maybe.

Plus, dare you put a heavy pot on the glass, it shatters easily.

@@drened8502 No need for a stove when you can throw out scalding burns like that
I like electric !
@Carolyn I like induction cook top... They are fast... Safe......

Lol charge so much ridiculous
Gas is not more efficient, it may be cheaper but not efficient
Comparing how they cook . I chose gas Can’t step away to do something with the stupid electric Stove 😒
If you talk to a chef they will gas is way to go.
Talk to an architect that does large scale multi family buildings, we never prescribe gas in our drawings.
Ya i'm not dying from a gas explosion it's not safe electric is better always carry cash too.
Induction is better
Yes.
Unpopular opinion: electrics are better.
The methane and propane fanatics never consider indoor air quality, vent hoods are never efficient enough to completely clean the air. Gas stoves make the air foul.
Yeah til the fucking power goes out then what?
@@jessefinch4071 How often does power go out, chump?
Electric equals better indoor air quality.
