"Home cooks have been told for years that gas stoves are superior to electric - mostly because gas stoves offered superior temperature control. You can turn the dial and instantly go from low to high heat, cutting down on cooking time and reducing the chance of over or undercooking food. There was also the homey feel of seeing a real flame, and the fact that you had clear visual clues as to how hot your stove was actually running."
"Electric stoves also remove the chance of gas leaks which can lead to fires and have safety features like turning off automatically when there is no pan on the stove for an extended period of time. Of course, those flat surfaces are also much easier to keep clean. Should your kitchen be showing signs it's due for a remodel, that could be reason enough for you to make the switch."
Gas stoves were long considered superior because they offered immediate temperature control and a visible flame that provided visual heat cues. Electric stoves, especially induction models, now deliver precise heating by transferring energy directly to pans via magnetic fields. Burning natural gas produces nitrogen dioxide and other emissions that raise indoor pollutant levels and may worsen respiratory risks, including asthma in children. Electric models eliminate combustion emissions and gas-leak hazards, and they often include safety features like automatic shutoff when no pan is present. Flat electric cooktops are easier to clean and suit modern kitchen remodels.
