Got me thinking. What do you like better?

I grew up with and only experienced gas ovens for about 50 years. Then, with great trepidation we bought an electric range. After using it for about ten years, I don't see any advantage to gas, and several disadvantages. Namely, dirty pots, difficulty moving the device for cleaning, etc., the (okay, rare) possibility of explosions (a home 1/2 mile from blew up three days ago!)

I would like to hear other people's opinions. G vs E. (But I'm most interested in feedback from people, like me, who have used both. I prefer E.)
The correct answer is both. If you use gas for the cooktop, it (gas) can be instantly controlled. So cooking a can of soup on the stovetop works best with gas.
However, an oven/ convection oven works best with electric as the temperature in the oven will stay more stable than with a gas oven. and your food will be ready following the instruction on the box.
So the answer is both. A good appliance store will have these, while Best Buy or Lowes may not have these. Go to consumers Report and take a look.
