Those of you who’ve used both, what do I need to know about the difference?

    I don’t think gas gets as hot as electric—only really matters for a tea kettle though.

    When you kill the flame, it just stops. You don’t need to jostle pans around to not burn your rice. Or remember which burner was still warm.

    Cast iron on a gas range is cooking bliss.

    You can cook corn tortillas right on the hob if you want to get them toasty :)

      I think it depends on the kind of gas stove for if it gets as hot, definitely agree to an extent, for gas stoves a lot of the heat is lost anyways due to dissipating into the air and not into the pan.

      But I suspect if you’ve got one of those jet wok gas burners you’re getting pretty darn hot.
