  Did you grow up with gas stoves? I did as well and really can't imagine using anything else. But I've got friends from the Midwest, where natural gas lines are less common that grew up with electric stoves, and they tell them they can't imagine cooking with anything other than electric -- the open flames on gas stoves actually scare them.

    Grew up with electric and much prefer using gas ranges now that I have the choice. I just prefer gas stoves and I don't think that the article or discussions in this thread are going to dissuade me from that. Also, my baseboard _and_ steam boiler in my house (old and new additions to the house) also use gas; it would be very expensive to shift and I have a feeling that I never will short of needing to do so. Gas is very common here in upstate New York.

    > they can't imagine cooking with anything other than electric -- the open flames on gas stoves actually scare them In my country, electric showers are common. The water is in direct contact with an electrical resistance. I've seen people from other countries calling these things "suicide showers" but nobody here bats an eye.
