[nagdu] ot: gas stoves

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

Tracy, 
Who/what should be treated with respect, the blind cook or the gas
stove? 
Does the amount of respect depend on the dish being cooked and does the
type of beverages the cook offers to his/her guests play any part in how
much respect he'/she should get? 
Sorry, I just couldn't resist this. 
We have a gas stove, and have an ignition so you hear the flame begin to
ignite. It's pretty cool. 
I also burned a number of pots and pans using a gas stove which did
*not* tell me when it was in the ignition sequence. 
I hope you are okay.

I prefer a gas stove over an electric, it's either hot or it's not,
there's no heat up time and no cool down time. I too have had problems,
in the past when using a gas stove I burnt many pairs of oven mitts.

When my wife and I met, of course she had seen the oven mitts that I
used. 
Now we remodeled our whole house and we have an electric stove. "her
choice"
