Electric or gas stove?

Which do you prefer? I prefer to cook with a gas stove, because the flame keeps the heat more even and seems to cook better, but my house is all electric, so I have to use an electric stove now. Which do you prefer and why?

I prefer a gas stove because the heat distributes more evenly, and because I can see how high or low the flame is. I prefer it!

I can't argue with that but in my case the reason I don't want one is that I have no sense of smell so I'd never know if there's a gas leak.

I prefer a Wind powered electric stove to save money

Wind power is all fine and dandy until the reports of those windmills coming in where they show how they kill birds and bees.

How does a high elevation affect what you cook?

I grew up cooking on a gas stove so that was all I knew until I got married and since then all we've had is electric. I'm like you I like the gas stove a LOT better but my house is all electric so what can you do?

I know what you mean. When I bought this mobile home I didn't realize it was all electric and it took quite a while to realize just how different electric stoves were from gas stoves. I'm used to it now.

I love to cook in a gas stove then an electric one. I also love to use old fashioned ovens, where food cooks better, atleast i think so.

You might be right about that, I wish I had an old fashioned outdoor stone stove, I've heard those are wonderful for roasting meats and even cooking pizza
