Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
Hi! I have used both electric and gas and I much prefer gas. My stove has an electric pilot and I think it has gone out twice in 21 years. I have had no problems using my gas stove.

When growing up, we would use a gas stove. And I prefer one as well.

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
I, too, was raised with a gas stove that used a pilot light, and the stove I have in my apartment is an old Caloric. No electric starters, either. The pilot goes out once in a great while, but not often. I've been here sixteen years, and this stove is still going strong. And the advantage is, you can cook during a power outage. And, Karen is right: it cools down faster than an electric stove. I had electric stoves in some apartments, but prefer gas, if you can believe that.

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
To echo what Karen is saying, I'm still adjusting to pulling a pan off a burner to prevent overcooking on my electric stove. This is something I've always heard about, but, never experienced until having electric now. Gas is much easier to control on the stovetop. I do really like my electric oven, it seems to bake really well.

Dolores, there is absolutely nothing to worry about with a gas stove.

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
I currently have a gas stove in my home. The oven is absolutely the same to use, I don’t know why I am more afraid to use the top of the stove it’s because it’s something I’m not used to not because it’s something that cannot be accomplished. A lot of my friends who are blind prefer gas stoves. So honestly it’s whatever you prefer that is best. Take care.

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
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.

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
Hi Dolores, I’ve only ever used gas stoves. Both my previous GE gas stove which I had to replace 4 years ago, and my current one had and have electric starters. So if there is ever a power outage then the stove top cannot be used by turning the knobs. I never had any issues with the pilet light going out. I know on the previous Stove during hurricane Sandy I could use an Igniter to start the flame on the stove top. And, I’m assuming it is okay to use an Igniter on my current stove top should I ever be without power again. The only problem I had back in 2016 when looking for a new gas range was finding one with knob controls. To get them I went up in price to buy a professional range. I wound up buying a Kennmore, but seem to recall a nice Fridgidare in PC Richards. If you are renting then most of the lower cost models of gas ranges usually have knobs. In the home I own I wanted a better quality range so that’s why I went up to the professional model. My Kennmore range has a pad as well but I’m not forced to use it. With a few lock-dots I’m able to operate both the stove top and oven. I’m not sure but think that in August these go on sale. From what others had told me you can label the touch pads on these newer stoves, but make sure the touch pad has set areas where the settings will always come up on the same location of the touch pad all the time. I have a friend who cannot use her newer gas range with the touch pad because the settings move around and it is impossible to mark it. Good luck!

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
I'll go to a gas stove over an electric one, at least for the cook top, every time. Modern gas stoves don't have a pilot light, they use spark gappers to ignite the gas, one per burner. But pilot lights aren't a problem either, as they're controlled by the safety, and if they go out the safety will stop the gas. Gas takes some getting used to if you've only cooked on electric cook tops. It's immediate, with no warming up of the burner, and it's easier to regulate temperature. And for us it has the advantage that it makes sound, and that sound can tell you how much gas is flowing through the burner, and that means how hot the flame is. They also tend to have knobs, not menus, so they can be more accessible. I prefer gas cook tops and electric ovens, and they make that configuration now.

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
Hi, One question I have, is if your landlord is replacing the stove, they will have to tell you what you can put in. The new gas stoves do not have pilot lights in them they have electric ignition’s in the ad. I love my gas stove and wouldn’t trade it for electric, I’ve had both and love the gas stove much better. We switch back to gas from electric. If you have any additional questions. I will be more than happy to help.

[CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?
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.
