I was raised using a gas stove one with a pilotlight; but, have used 2 other gas stoves since that had electric starters. Now the pilotlight in my last 2 gas ranges had electric starters. These can be circumvented in the event of an electrical outage. You can use one of the large lighters to light the oven or burner. If you have your sense of smell, you would then know there is a problem with the gas. My flat top electric stove, I need to be careful as it can take a really long time to cool down. As a person who is blind, I cannot see the little light that shows me the burner is too hot to place something ont the stove--this can be 30 minutes after you stop using the stove top. Lori

Hi all, I'm remodeling my kitchen and thinking about getting either a gas or electric stove. The new apartment i'm moving in to has a hook up for gas, and that is the stove that is there now. But my family says it is unsafe, they are afraid of the pilot light going out. I am nervous about this too, but like gas for the all the audio feedback you get. Does anyone have any thoughts? Have any of you used gas stoves? Do you prefer gas or electric? Thank you in advance for any help.
