omg, is this for real? weird how recent conspiracy rumbling about gvmnt taking away gas stoves may have been covering for a real conspiracy. First I've read about benzene in stove fumes. Like cooking w/gas

I turn on the vent hood and enjoy my instant heat.

Convection cooktops heat instantly as well, without needing combustion.

Convection is a fan that runs in your oven.

Oops, you’re exactly right

I've had both, I find gas much more responsive to temperature changing. But you do you.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Sure. I find inductive cooktops are close enough though, and without the dependence on fossil fuel.

Wasted heat is the worst part. The sides and handles of any pan not oversized for the burner gets blazing got and the kitchen spikes in temperature. Gas takes forever to boil water as well.
