I've never seen a non-electric stove in my life. Doesn't that, like, introduce a bunch of nasty chemicals and such into the home? And what if there's a leak?
Maybe not boom. Maybe everyone just gets really tired and goes to sleep forever.
The American dream!!!
Concise and informative, thank you :3
The US tried to curtail gas stoves a bit in new home builds at the federal level during Biden's term to reduce asthma and carbon emissions and the GOP predictively lost its shit because that would threaten natural gas profits.
At this point induction stoves are as good as gas ranges to cook on, cheaper to operate, can be powered with clean energy and have no health issues, but Americans are fucking stupid in aggragate.
Gas is the slowest of the three, as well. It's so dumb. The only pros are that fire looks cool and that it can work during a power outage. That's it.

Wait until you hear about gas powered water heaters that are basically a 24/7 stove
And are not supposed to be in a living space but some ventilated attic, garage, or utility closet.
This all feels very unhealthy. I do hope that you at least have good healthcare to make sure you're healthy.
Yes, but many gas water heaters have an exhaust pipe that runs outside the home, usually with a fan to push the exhaust out.
All cooking produces off gassing and particulates that can be unhealthy. All cooking should be done with a good exhaust fan that sucks up all that stuff.
Gas ranges also produce nitrous emissions, CO, and CO2. I say this as a fan of gas stoves for many things - they’re not good for health and I’ve never seen a properly sized stove exhaust fan installed, not that people use the ones they have anyways.
Gas stoves are meant to be used with a range hood fan. The products of combustion are vented outside (ideally) from there. There are studies that show indoor particulate counts from gas stoves if you care to look up how they compare to electric, wood and coal.
A gas stove absolutely requires active hood ventilation or yes you are breathing a bunch of incompletely combusted petroleum by-products.
That said, cooking in general is awful for your indoor air quality and any stove needs ventilation.
Gas is treated with an additive that gives it a distinct smell. If you’ve never had a gas stove you may not be familiar with it, but this is done to make gas leaks detectable by smell. Gas leaks can lead to explosions if they accumulate a lot of gas in an unventilated space. However in most cases a slow leak can’t build up that much concentration of gas quickly enough to blow up the building. Not before someine notices.
The real reason gas leaks cause explosions is smokers. Their sense of smell is destroyed by the smoking so they don’t detect the gas smell when they wake up in the mornings. And then they light up that first cigarette and boom.
I’m over 40 and have never had an electric stove. Only gas, it’s safe as long as there is fire.
