Gas stoves have a place, and I'm not about to take away anyone's choice on the matter. With all that being said, to the title of this article, I say "duh".... Honestly, who thought that cooking using an open flame inside your home was somehow safer than the alternative?
I use electric, I've pretty much always used electric. I will continue to use some form of electric stove. I want to have complete control over the heat going into my cookware, and while it may not be as flashy or as quick to use electric, I can't see any situation where electric would not be safer.
