We have a electric stove, I've never used a gas stove before.

LOL me too! We have always had electric, but my Grandma has gas, and I don't like using it. I am afraid that I will burn myself or start a fire because it has FLAMES or else gas everyone in the house and kill them. We should start a club Devon - "The Worriers Club".

We have an electric glass-top stove, in which I prefer using over gas.

I don't like the regular burners all that much either, I prefer the glass-top.

It's very easy to clean if there's any spills. Ours also tells whether it's hot or not.

I'm scared to use a gas stove.

Love gas, HATE electric! The coils gets icky when you spill something on them, the heat is impossible to control, and as I love to do a lot of complicated cooking, that's important to me; and I hate how long it takes to heat up and cool down. Once one of the kitties walked across the stove while the coils were still hot and badly burned her feet She screamed the most horrifying scream And on a couple of occasions, I failed to turn the burner completely off (it was on low) but you couldn't tell, as the coils weren't red. All the really great cooks say cook with gas, bake with electric and I agree.

Chris I've always cooked with a Gas cooker.
At school - in the dark ages - when we had Domestic Science I hated using the Electric stoves.
Whenever we've been away on holiday - and gone self-catering, if it's had an Electric Stove - I've insisted on eating out!!

Well, I've got my cooker! It's a gas one! Not new, dark green, and not connected yet, but it's here! Hopefully it will be connected up before Christmas, but whether it is or not I will soon be able to do 'real' cooking just like everyone else!

I am SO glad to see that I am not a odd ball. I would rather gas ANYDAY over electric.

electric I hate gas, and actually the ONLY places you will ever see gas stoves around here is in campers, and camping stoves. I have honestly never in my life seen a house with a gas stove but I have use one, and I hate it. I am terrified of fire, and even more so since I was making grilled cheese sandwitches one day and the stove started on fire, that scared the hell out of me for the longest time, and I am still paranoid that it will happen again, so the sight of a gas stove that it on scares the living hell out of me.

Looks lovely, Chris!! Will you be baking us all a cake?

My thoughts exactly...when's dinner? Nice looking stove, Chris! And I think you'll love the gas! Gosh, I never knew people had such an aversion to/fear of gas stoves! the flames are tiny! In the east, or at least where I've lived, most homes have/prefer gas stoves unless you're out in more rural areas. Anyway, have fun Chris!
