Default IN PRAISE OF THE ELECTRIC STOVE

We had an electric stove in our last house. ( no gas service ) During
the whole time, I pined for a gas stove.
Now, we have a gas stove in our new house. I HATE IT !
Turning it on and waiting for that "click-click-click" Peering under the
pot to adjust the flame. ( how "Dark Ages" )
Finding that the small burner ring only heats the mifddle of the pan.
Finding that there's no real <LOW> gas setting. It's either "Still Too
Hot" or "OUT"
and, and Oven BROIL setting thats just a High Temp Bake.
I Miss My Electric Stove !
When I set the dial to "4" I know exactly how much heat I'll get. When I
set the dial to "1", I can play "crock pot" AND, the large electric ring
applies heat to the whole pan ! AND a Broiler that really Broils.
I think I'll be hanging around the appliance stores.... <rj>

response: Living in rental apartments I have no choice but to be stuck
with electric ranges & ovens WHICH I hate.
If I had a real home it would be a restaurant commercial gas range &
wall electric self cleaning oven.
