Gas stoves are one of the things I turn into an old man about. I just don't like electric stoves, I want that visual feedback of an actual flame.

Also manual transmissions, which I guess are completely obsolete now but I dunno I want that feedback and control.

I don't think electric is obsolete tech, in fact it's better than gas at certain things like simmering or other low temp stuff.

With the heat capacity of cast iron, I can get a pan just as smoking hot on electric as I can on gas, it just takes longer and with less risk of cracking from shock.

Now with less breakage.

Like near everyone here I grew up with electric, but one of the places I rented a share of for a year had a gas cook top. Apart from having to haul gas bottles to the fifth floor, I agree that it works very well, but I didn't really turn into a fan. Electric is more sedate, but it also feels more civilised. I'll trade some heat control for having a flat hot surface with a control knob instead of fiddling with flammable gases and fire for breakfast. I can easily see how someone who grew up with it would prefer it, though.

They aren't obsolete, it's just that younger people in the US didn't grow up learning how to use them. Thus the manufacturers started making less of them, thus causing even less people learning how to drive stick. Now we're all stuck with slush boxes.

Portable induction stoves are also good if you're stuck with an electric hob against your will.

Understandable, but some of us enjoy playing with fire for breakfast. And on rare occasions I'll use the gas stove for something that isn't cooking related, like flame sterilization, heating up an implement to melt holes in something, or soldering when my soldering iron dies on me mid-project. But if I had to lug bottles up 5 flights more than, say, twice a year I'd settle for electric.

I grew up with electric, gas and wood stoves. Between the latter and the open fire we lost a lot of childhood weekends spent fetching, stacking and splitting firewood; solid fuel heating and cooking when modern options are available is obsolete and a waste of time. Wood stoves and heaters in the suburbs are anachronistic and polluting extravagance, they really aren't suitable for everyday use. But if I had an old house with the right spot for it, I'd be happy to obtain a Metters No.2 and use it occasionally to bake pies on a rainy winter's afternoon.


Aga stoves also stir some kind of romanticism in people too, but they're pretentious AF. I'm honestly disappointed that they're still making them because they're horrifically inefficient, seeing them marketed as carbon neutral is some hot garbage greenwashing. OTOH they're exclusive enough that it's probably not an actual issue compared to any industrial emissions or cryptomining.

Modern Stoves are good. That is to say if you're in a first world country in a kitchen that is within code there are no bad stoves, compared to a lot of the planet where the localized emissions from domestic open hearth cooking contribute to respiratory issues and a shortened life span. Open hearth cooking is obsolete but unfortunately has not failed, and a over a decade of UN-driven high-level philanthropy in that area involving hundreds of millions of dollars has failed to bring about meaningful change because it has focused on orchestrating market-based solutions that create opportunities for stakeholders instead of, you know, fixing the loving problem.

You had to haul bottles up yourself? Weird...I've never seen a stove like this, outside small camping stoves or grills. Which I would never personally use inside because they often have less complete combustion and you'd be at a higher risk for CO and other byproducts.*

Every place I've lived that's had gas stove was either piped natural gas, or propane tank, but the tank was stored outside and it was a small copper pipe to get it inside to the stove.

*That being said I've seen a few articles and comments lately that basically come down to,
"Unless you've got a good exhaust fan over your stove that actually goes OUTSIDE, and you use it every time you turn the stove on, you're probably slowly getting CO poisoning cause all stoves have bad combustion."

That arrangement is super common in Asia. Just (a) burner(s), no oven, so an undercounter tank is all you need.

You could probably chart the expansion of many Japanese cities, post war, by looking at gas tank deliveries. They radiated out from city center as the suburbs filled out and actual gas lines were laid.

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the entirety of SE Asia, both urban and back country China, parts of Africa, and many other burgs, the gas cylinder is the primary cooking fuel for many, many people.

Gas stoves are loving terrible for your health. Decades of gas lobby propaganda have pushed it as the best way for cooking and how it's totally safe and healthy but you are burning hydrocarbons and dumping the exhaust unfiltered into your home. It's really not great for your lungs and is especially bad for children.

I get it, I like cooking with gas as well but I sure as hell won't be buying a gas stove anymore. Induction is at least as good as gas and it doesn't slowly kill your lungs.

As a bonus, it's also terrible for the environment!

It's ubiquitous in Brazil as well, and I'd bet the rest of South America if not Latin America as well.

Also, speaking from experience in TYOOL 2022, electricity delivery to rural parts of Brazil's richest state is iffy at best - my parents go without electricity for hours pretty frequently, and sometimes, for days, at least with gas stoves they can at least cook food.

You can't do it with a gas oven, either. Gas-oven suicides were common when the gas in your home was coal gas, which contained carbon monoxide among other things. Nowadays it's "natural" gas.

Norway never really did do piped gas to homes, except for a short period in Oslo back when it was also used for street lighting.

The place we rented and split was an apartment in a nice, turn of the century, brick building; the owners were off ... idk, working in California or attending to their yacht or something. The gas cooker seemed to be a hobby or vanity project from the owners, so I can't imagine the apartment complex would want to install a gas tank shed (against their pretty, probably listed, facade) and install piping solely for them.

e: The oven underneath was electric, which seems like a reasonable tradeoff.
