/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Electric is safer, there's a reason most landlords opt for it, so rentcucks don't burn down the building.

Gas is better for cooking, more control over heat.

Oh, you want some too?

Gas is better, no question about it

Both are equally safe if you don't live in some third world shithole and you actually maintain your residence.
Gas is better for cooking.

Gas is better for cooking. There is literally no argument. Anyone who says otherwise is just coping because they have electric and can't afford to have gas installed or can't actually have gas installed.

Electric is safer. Like the first reply said it's very common to see that in apartments to minimize the dumbass things that people can do. I greatly prefer gas.

3: please can you please pay to run gas out to my house please bro please

I think gas is too dangerous for residential. The government should ban gas stoves for safety and for the environment. Electric is also a bit too dangerous. They really should require those safety burners as well.

>gas is left on
>hmm smells weird, oh must be the gas, I'll turn it off

>electric is left on
>lights on fire everything nearby/touching and torches the house with no warning

hmmm

>Someone fucks up and catches it
>Nothing happens
>Someone fucks up and doesn't catch it

Woah that's crazy man.

>>15945961

Yeah. The point is that you are more likely to catch a gas error.

Thanks brainlet.

>The point is that you are more likely to catch a gas error.
Which is probably why so many electric stoves shut off automatically. The only one I've used that didn't was a shitty one from the '70s. You certainly can get that with a gas stove, or with a 3rd party peripheral, but I don't think I've ever been in the same kitchen as one.

My point from the get-go was just that it's easier for dumbasses to be actively stupid with a device that produces fire.

>>15945847
I've had a fire start on an electric burner lol

>>15945845
gas stoves literally release poisonous air into yoir kitchen an make you retarded and poison your lungs and start fires

>>15945847
I believe it's actually so that they don't have to run gas lines throughout the building

>>15945845
Induction.

microwave

>>15946017
Will nobody think of the children growing up in these toxic home environments? This must be stopped!

>>15945845
Induction is the best of both worlds.

>>15945926
You can definitely smell when an electric burner’s been left on though.

>>15945890
Cope.

>>15946836
what is this, 1997? You people still say that word like its meaningful?

>>15946836
I'm sorry, I'm an interloper, but when I see that word I just pity the typer. Fucking drives me nuts watching people embarrass themselves with 'internet jibber'.

>>15946859
>>15946861
Gas is better. No ifs, ands or buts.
You're literally coping if you argue that point, Adam.

>>15946874
I don't give a shit either way. I use electricity to make booze and wish I had gas. I just hate childish language. Stop typing like a child.

>>15946874
Speak Adult.

>>15946874
You're probably too young to hear the term "now I'm cooking with gas" That's what you want to do in the 80s.

>>15946889

Keep coping retards. Don't bother @ing me, Big Daddy shan't be replying.

Why are you getting so wound up? Who cares if you can't afford to get gas, it is what it is. And what it is is better than electric.

Induction gives you just as much control as gas. I keep a gas campstove for when I want to char something

>>15947002
I got induction after moving recently and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing with this shit.
It's weird, it's different, the numbers don't make sense. I miss gas.

>>15945845
True soychads use electric.

>>15947426
7) Fuck you retard burn your house down for all I care

>>15945879
LOL gas takes like three times as long as induction to heat up the same amount of water or food. Fuck gas.

>>15945845
Electric is better at everything except heating up fast.

>>15948533
And except for being able to control the heat, and you can't flambe, and you can't roast peppers, and you can't eat if the power is out

>>15947426
Fuck off Adam.

induction bitch

>>15946006
my point is that people who use gas knows how to cook and won't leave the fucking stove on.

>>15947426
>You want to pay to run a gas line into my house

How the fuck does he keep his house warm if not with gas?

>>15945845
Good gas stove > induction > most gas stoves >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> electric

>>15946006
flawed logic bruh. those images you might've seen online of people jumping through fire and lighting themselves on fire in a car filled with hairspray (nerve gas) was just plain idiocy.

if someone is teetering around dangerous materials or circumstances, and their fight or flight response isn't blinking on standby in the back of their heads, then they're lucky to be alive already. open fire SHOULD tell you to be fucking careful. the only concern is not knowing that if you leave a valve open or can't detect the smell of natural gas then you're liable to blow something up. knowledge should be shared, not hoarded...

>>15948981
electric powered heaters or space heaters

>>15946886
Ur on 4channel bro, what the fuck do you expect

Induction sucks

>>15946020
I kinda doubt that's the reason. Every townhouse I've seen for example already has gas lines for heating, but none of them have had gas stoves. I don't imagine the lines to the stoves would've been much of an issue to have installed.
>>15948981
He lives in Georgia apparently, probably doesn't need heating.

>>15945845
I think electric stove is much more safer. Here, where most people use gas stove, explosion and death caused by misuse of refilling the gas are much more common. If I can exchange my current gas stove with electric, I would do so.

For better cooking side, I'm not sure, but I think both serves the same purpose and I may not understand the difference between these two.

Gas stoves should just be the norm. I get the argument for induction, but it’s nice to actually see the flame and get a better understanding of how it’s heating. Natural gas is not sustainable but biogas is a thing.

>>15948966
Sure thing dude, whatever. I guess it somehow went over your head that you're talking to someone who uses gas.

>>15949476
>flawed logic
>Now look at these examples of people being actively stupid with fire
You even emphasized SHOULD but the thing about idiots is that they're idiots.

I've had several "accidents" with shitty electric burners and zero with gas. pretty much all of them were from not being able to tell if a burner is actually on or not aside from looking at the knob. a bunch of times I will try to turn an element on to boil some water or something but accidentally turn the wrong one on and end up burning whatever was on the one that actually got hot. with gas you can easily tell which burner is on because there's fucking flame coming out of it.

>>15945845
If we’re talking about stovetops then gas is better for cooking obviously, since it has fast responsiveness and greater degrees of control. It also allows you to use things like a round bottomed wok, and gas stoves are capable of higher heat output.

Electric does have its benefits though. It’s safer as others have mentioned, but it’s also far simpler to use, you don’t have to worry about stability of pots and pans since it’s an even surface and it’s extremely easy to clean.

With that said, if we’re talking about gas vs electric ovens, then electric is far superior. It heats more evenly, produces drier heat which is great for roasting, is much more precise for baking and is just easier to use.

There’s also induction hobs, which a lot of people say are better than gas, since they offer the benefits of electric + even better responsiveness than gas and faster heating. You can’t use all types of pots and pans though and they’re expensive.

I suppose the ideal would be to have a mix of an induction/gas stovetop with electric ovens.

>>15946927
Maybe I've only dealt with shit induction burners but I'm always frustrated with the lack of granularity over temperature. I just want a nob like a gas burner.

>>15947426
lmao, I almost forgot this poster was referencing this work of art

>>15949027

Ming Tsai lent his name to a (apparently not very good) portable induction range, but doesn't use induction ranges in his own restaurants; I think that says a lot.

Gas also doesnt run on the electrical grid so if shit gets real fucked you can still use gas
recently many texans were mega fucked cause they didn't have gas, those that did were basically fine
