Electric ones are safer than stove top ones that are manual. I've had the latter explode in my kitchen way back in 80s due bad luck. Food particle got lodged in pressure vent inside and its lit exploded open destroying overhead vent. Loudest bang ever and haven't used it much since. But electric ones are much weaker and have so many safety I would trust it.
