[Electronics-Talk] Accessible flat top stoves

[Arlene]

When it comes to cook stoves I've used both, gas and electric. While they're 
a little different, they both do well cooking food. and one of the posters 
on this list told how they were badly burned using a gas stove. So when it 
comes to using these appliances, you have to be very carefull. However, with 
the story that I'm about to share this would not have happened with an 
electric stove. Years ago a young mother got up late at night to heat up 
bottles for her babies, this mother was sighted. Well as she was heating the 
bottles up for her babies, she got a little to close to the flames from the 
gas stove burners. her gown caught on fire and she died. This wouldn't have 
happened if it had been an electric stove. I hope this was helpfull.
