considering natural gas piped under the streets burned down much of SF post 1906 earthquake it is surprising this took so long. even in 2020 there was a natural gas explosion in san mateo

As somebody who loves to cook I’m pretty sad to hear this. The quick feedback on gas stoves makes cooking more beginner-friendly, and the ability to instantly fully cut heat means you can leave things on the stove to cool, letting you safely work in a smaller kitchen.

Also, this will probably cause more kitchen burns. Residual heat on an electric stove can be dangerous, especially since the stove doesn’t “look hot.” Working in a kitchen where your counters are cramped with lots of hot stuff is also a recipe for burns.

It’s also just hard for me to believe that the correct response to decades of gross negligence of PG&E is to take away something nice and replace it with something that is probably going to increase kitchen accidents.

gas stoves do add to indoor air pollution at a significant level and are associated with health effects, although maybe the better cooking displaces it
