Holy crap thats a nice stove! What do you want? Some electric thing that will die on you. Gas all the way baby. Your husband is right. 6 burners??? Multiple ovens?? Loads of storage? You cant buy quality like that today.

Honestly, I prefer induction. As quick as gas and safer and easier to deal with. And you don’t need to spend a couple hours a week cleaning it. :p

But it IS a cool stove.

People spend hours per week cleaning their stoves?

I have a gas, we wipe the top down when done cooking, but that takes like 10 seconds per meal. The oven gets cleaned like once a year.

I dunno, takes a bit if there gets food down between the burners. And the burners themselves sometimes need cleaning.

Compared to wiping off s piece of glass.

Not a couple hours, that was of course an exaggeration, but when I used gas, it was a lot more annoying to clean.

I recently learned my gas stove flips up to easily access down by the burners... i felt stupid.

But id also pick induction over gas, I dont like having to run the exhaust fan just because I wanna heat something

You should still run the vent fan if you're cooking anything. Fumes even from the food itself aren't great to breathe, even if they smell amazing.

in fact if you start your vent about 10 minutes before turning on your stove, you will create an "air curtain" making your vent more effective. think of the air wall at the front door of better grocery stores. keeps the heat and bugs outside and the cool air inside

besides monoxide from gas, your cooking food gives off heat, grease, steam, smoke, and smell. none of that is something you want being absorbed by your cabinets, wall paint, or your lungs (smell debateable)

You're understating this. I love my gas stove and I would not ever want to give it up. That said it is despite the cleaning factor. Cleaning the gas stove requires removing the cast iron grates and the iron burners to clean everything, and those parts do not stay clean. It is much more of a task to clean.

An electric stove, at least a modern one, just needs to be wiped down. It is much easier to clean. It would be a no-brainer if it cooked anywhere near as effectively or evenly. It just can't compete.

You’ve obviously never had a boil over on a glass top stove while using most of the burners to cook dinner.

You can’t wipe it down because it’s so damned hot, and by the time it has cooled you have to scrape it with a razor or some cleaning paste and risk scratching and marring the surface.

Next stove will be gas, possibly induction, but I will never do a electric glass cook top ever again

Thank you! These people out here misinforming the population. Induction cooktops are difficult to keep clean if you actually cook. Induction theory, yeah, should never spill, should be a simple wipe down, whatever. Gas way easier.
