[Electronics-Talk] Accessible flat top stoves

Thu Feb 20 21:40:03 UTC 2020

Well, you are lucky that you can choose which type of stove to buy.  But 
many of us who rent apartments have to settle for whatever the landlord 
provides, which in my case is a gas oven with electronic ignition. This 
is not a problem for me because I do most of my cooking in the microwave 
and toaster ovens.
