minus-squareHule@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down3·1 month agoTl;dr: electric is better. I’m in the EU. “Range” is a cooktop plus oven, right? We got rid of out old gas appliance and bought an induction top and an electric oven. They both cost as much as the gas stove, so double the price. Running them costs about the same. But induction is just so easy and quick! Setting the time for eggs, getting water to boil in seconds… It’s truly next level. The oven is just alright, maybe heats more evenly with the fan. Other than that? I guess no danger of explosions. No yearly checkups. I like it much more, and wouldn’t go back.
