We have an electric stove and while I've adapted to it, the part I dislike it if you turn a burner off, you have to move the pot or the food will continue to cook. It doesnt instantaneously go off like a gas stove. When you have a few burners going, where do you put the pot you are removing from the heat? Also, along the same lines, you cant just lower your heat in a split second like you can with a gas stove.

I think its electric
Tammy, besides one running off the gas in your house, and the other electric.... If you have a gas stove you can actually see the flames on your burners when your stove is on. You don't see flames on the electric stove. That's one way you can tell.

Not anymore Tammyjill. Most modern gas stoves have electronic pilot lights and also auto ignition. Years ago I think you had to use a match or a flint.

Re: Poll: Is your stove gas or electric
It's funny how I responded to this post complaining about my electric range. Last night, I found two reasons to actually like it.
I made a pink cream sauce for pasta and looooved the fact that I was able to simmer on low. With the gas stove at parents' home, the flame would blow out when I tried to turn it very low.
A few hours later, DH accidentally turned on the wrong burner. Instead of heating up a pot on the front burner, he burned the coffee carafe that was sitting on the back burner. Can you believe that we were able to scrape away every last bit of burned plastic with no damage to the glass??!!

Re: Poll: Is your stove gas or electric
I have an electric stove right now but I rent. My kitchen is one of my highest priorities when looking to purchase a home. I MUST have a gas stove. It is a big difference.
