southern food. Moved to a place with a gas stove. Always had electric. I will never go back! Gas is the best! Every meal has tasted fantastic! When we finally build our "forever" home, a gas stove will now be top priority!

Gas is best!
Easier to control and cook with.

30 years ago, I lived in a house with a gas stove/oven that you had to light with match sticks. And when you lit the oven, you put on just a little gas, opened the door and threw the lit match into the bowels, knowing that it would "flash".

(55,026 posts)the top igniters are fine, it is those things in the oven that suck.

(16,388 posts)I guess gourmet cooks insist on them because there is more control. On the other hand, I've also heard that electric ovens were better than gas.
