Comment on Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers wins lawsuit against Colorado. Judge claims there is no evidence that gas stoves cause or contribute to health issues

  Are there electric stoves that maintain temperature? Mine just turns on and off at different rates, so it can be difficult to work with

  That’s the my only gripe with electrical stoves. There many good reasons against gas stoves but keeping a steady temperature and cooking with woks are nearly impossible on any other kind of stove I know.

  Yes, there are induction stoves.

  These use magnets (how do they even work?) to heat the pan directly, instead of heating an element which then conducts heat into the pan. Since they don’t rely on resistive heating, they can actually be controlled in a much more precise manner. Maybe under the hood this actually involves cycling of the heat, but the result is something that for all intents and purposes “maintains temperature” You can only use pans made of certain metals, which is the main drawback besides expense. No aluminum

  I think it’s only really old stoves that have gas ovens (at least around here). In these you’d put in a metal sheet or a brick to regulate heat. Newer gas stoves come with electric ovens. Electric cookers are okay, but you have to cook with them five minutes in the future. And induction ones seemed too quantized to me, like they switch on and off all the time

  I think any modern stove will work that way.

  Something that helps mitigate it is using pots and pans with more thermal mass. Cast iron is great for that. I know not everybody wants to deal with it so really any pots or pans that are on the thicker side will be better.

  I notice it a lot more when I’m forced to use the dirt cheap thin non stick pans.

  Having a gas stove myself I can tell you there are only 2 temperatures to hot and way to hot. There is no low and medium so what you will end up doing is cycling the heat in and off yourself all the time.

  Further there are many different electric stoves. From the old just an electric heater over infrared based to induction based. Due to having a lot of different homes in my life I have cooked with everything and all electric stoves are way easier and maintain heat way better than a gas stove and you can have low and medium heat.

    My gas stove has one really big burner for when you need extra heat, and one really small burner for super low heat. It’s pretty nifty.
