Using an oven with electric is exactly the same as with gas... both
contolled by thermostat... but it's the top burners that are very
different... electric top burners are too imprecise and too slow to
react, used to need to be on the ready to pull the pot off heat. With
gas I don't need dial markings, I just look at the flame. One
electric range at a place I rented had push buttons for different
temperture settings, that sucked big time... with nine buttons for
each burner changing temperature was always a crap shoot, especially
since each burner operated differently, the buttons didn't match the
temperature for each burner, was easier to cook over a campfire.
