I have never used a gas stove before, only electric. I used grills, but they are outdoors. I’m just nervous about safety since I have never used one before. I guess it’s time to learn
If you have kids in the house that you can't control then you probably should be worried about safety, even with your electric stove.
Gas stoves are perfectly safe ..... as long as you don't turn "on" a burner and immediately rush off somewhere without making sure the gas ignited.
I love a gas stovetop because when I put something on the burner I want it to start "cooking". I don't want to
wait 5 minutes while the element is heating up.
And when I turn it off I want it to stop cooking.
With electric, you have to turn it off AND move your pot or skillet off that burner if you want it to stop cooking.
And with gas, when you turn the heat down, ......
it goes down, it doesn't take 5 minutes to go down. Thus, you have
far less "boil-overs" with gas.
Cheers
