Just about every house I have ever lived in has had gas cooktops. I very much prefer it over electric. They are perfectly safe and the technology is mature and well understood.

Great back-up to have in case of electricity blackouts too. You can still cook some things, and make hot water.

Except for a short time in a rental flat and then a house, I’ve always cooked on a gas stove. I like my electric oven. It’s probably because it’s what I grew up with, but I feel I can control the heat a lot better. And as MV said…what about the wok?
