omg, is this for real? weird how recent conspiracy rumbling about gvmnt taking away gas stoves may have been covering for a real conspiracy. First I've read about benzene in stove fumes. Like cooking w/gas

Induction stoves can heat much faster than the hottest setting on many gas stoves which gives many the impression that electric stoves are "hard to control". But then the resistive element ones have the opposite problem where the power is somewhat lower than gas. Most people don't differentiate the type of electric stove they're using, and just project a single bad experience or two to all electric stoves.
