I'm suprised there are developed countries were gas stoves still are used, unless power is non-existant or in low quantity due to poor grid or fully off-grid.

What’s even more sad is that in the USA it’s seen as woke to give up your gas stove.

Well because it is woke. And that's a good thing. Acknowledging that gas stoves cause indoor pollution is woke as fuck.

So sick and tired of "woke" being used as a negative term, because the republicans labeled it as such. They hate it so much because they hate change, even if it's positive change for the betterment of society.

Stay safe. Stay woke.

I'm here in Europe where I've never ever seen anyone using a gas stove, ever. Not even the old timey stove in my grandparents' tiny summer home. I'm almost 40 years old. Seriously, gas stoves are ancient and not efficient.

Depends alot where you are living. As a kid I never saw anyone using gas. But later, especially living in a bigger city gas stoves are really common.

Electrics are all I've used for the last 30 years

Growing up we usedgas. Mother's home (not our childhood home) also has gas. I'm in a home that is wired for either but had electric when I moved in. We had to replace the stove and I choose to keep it electric which surprised my mom. "But gas baking is so much nicer!" And no it's not. Electric interior was much easier and nicer to use. But she didn't bake much so lol.

Indeed, that is very much true. Electric stoves are also much safer as it is less likely to cause a fire.

But still, I'm pretty pissed it is very VERY difficult to find a house on rent with gas stoves. I don't care about this stuff, I like cooking and there's nothing better (except a cooking wood stove) to cook in a house.

I'm just sad about that, besides that if you do not care about which one to cook on for sure go ahead with induction.

Have you ever used a proper, three phase induction stove?
