It’s so weird because I’ve hated every electric stove I used and loved every gas one.
One big reason is that when a gas burner is off it is no longer producing any heat. The number of times I’ve had a boil over or burned food because the heat doesn’t just turn off immediately makes me hate electric. And that’s just one reason.
So take it off the burner.
And then it’s getting cold while I wait for the burner to cool down. Oh, and now the burner is a burn hazard, and whatever boiled over is searing itself to the burners.
I disagree. The burner and grate retain a bunch of heat when you turn the gas off. Maybe not as much as the electric element but it's still a consideration.
Thanks for your response, I appreciate the dialog and wish people didn't downvote you for having an opinion.
There’s going to be latent heat with any burner, even induction. But resistive electric is the absolute worst.
Resistive electric just requires a different technique. If you adapt to it, they work just fine.
