The home appliance industry would like you to believe that gas-burning stoves are not a risk to your health -- and several companies that make the devices are scrambling to erase their prior acknowledgements that they are.

To me that is the type of action that should land the entire management of those companies in jail

As if upper management would ever face justice in the American legal system

Brought to you by the same people behind all those #cookingwithgas social trends.

Oh god, that phrase really is propaganda. I'll erase it from my vocabulary.

Paging Dr Streisand. Dr Streisand you have a call on the Effect phone.

Laughs in induction supremacy.

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The only drawback for induction is for wok tossing. Western cooking prefers to have heat evenly distributed across a flat bottomed pan where Asian wok cooking prefers a concentrated heat source at the bottom of a round wok to have a gradient of heat. There are curved induction surfaces designed for wok cooking but they are very niche and not widely available, even in Asia.

I have no experience to inform this guess, but I wouldn't think even properly-shaped induction would work all that well anyway, considering how often the wok is getting picked up off the burner to flip and stir the food in the wok cooking videos I've seen.

Soon, CO2 detectors will be called woke

Simple, just route the exhaust thru a catalytic converter and then thru the chimney.

Ban all gas stove hookups! Use induction cooking instead!

My oven/stove died recently and I couldn’t convince my landlord to go induction since it’s like twice as expensive as traditional glass top.

Which country did you experience this in?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The land of the ~~free~~tariff.

Ah that makes sense as to why there isn’t subsidies and programs for installing electric stoves. In Nanaimo new gas heating hookups are banned.
