recently had to move into an apartment. fml
>>21771666so fucking what, Satan, nobody gives a rat's ass
>>21771666Was it clean at least? I hate moving somewhere and I have to clean filth from the fridge or stove (there’s always grime behind the knobs)
>>21771666Portable gas ovens are $20, just slap one on that glorified counter space and you'll be fine.I still do just use the electric for soups or whatever because it's fine for those, who really cares.
So fucking real, fuck electric stoves.
>>21772194Yeah gas really is the final solution
>>21771666skill issue
>electric touchscreen soy stove with no physical knobs>have to input a button combination to turn up the heat instead of just turning the knob>some gay "safety" feature throws a tantrum if nothing is on a heated plate for half a second
>>21771666I would use an induction burner.
Eh, I've come to prefer ceramic tops over gas just because they're easier to keep clean. I can wait an extra minute for my pan to heat up.
>>21772262That's what you get for not buying a base model. All you're paying for is bullshit past $600 or so.
>>21772292ive only used normal electric and induction but always wanted to try gas bec i heard its good for searing etcis it really that bad? also how are pots/pans holding up under a real flame?
>>21772300Modern electric ranges get plenty hot, a lot of the gas vs. electric stuff comes from when electric stove tops looked like this. My main gripe with gas is if god forbid something spills on the burners it's a pain in the butt to clean. Also an open flame doesn't do much to pans that radiant coils won't aside from making it easier to ignite the contents of a pan, but that isn't an issue if you aren't retarded.
>>21771666I bought an apartment near Centennial Park. It's nice.
>>21772300>is it really that bad?Electric stovetops for some goddamn reason don't use PWMs which mean they just turn on and off to vaguely maintain temp. Just universally garbage for anything involving precision.
>>21772262>electric touchscreen gets covered by a nanometre-thin layer of grease>becomes completely unresponsive>get locked out of using my fucking stoveI have to use an aluminium moka pot filter as a stylus just so I can use my fucking stove. Not having knobs is the most retarded thing there is.
>turn on stove>BEEP>select zone 1>BEEP >turn it up to 7>BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP>select zone 2 but accidentally touch the pan on zone 1>PSCHHHHHHH>BEEP>FUCK>try to turn up zone 2 to 4>the child lock engaged because of some moisture on the controls>hold lock button for 10 seconds to unlock>BEEP>select zone 2>BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPThen there is the stupid cycling that causes the temp to go up and down constantly, not being able to tell if the stove is on from a distance, the pan losing heat when tilting to baste, and zones getting less hot when you turn up the others. Just kill me, fuck this gay earth.
>heats up super fast>has physical knobs>makes no noise>10 year guaranteeyep. *sips* living the good life

I've had both gas and electric, and the glass top electric that came with my house works just fine for my needs. It's easy to clean, heats up reasonably well (one of the burners is surprisingly fast), doesn't seem to heat up the kitchen as much, and works for what I need. It also has real knobs for control; something like >>21772262 or >>21772844 sounds like a goddamn nightmare. If I ever do want a gas flame I can use the side burner on my grill.
>>21772166what gas do you use for that, butane (lmao)?
>>21772982i have one too, and the burner i use on high to boil water for ramen started heating up max heat always and fast, so i just replaced the dial switch unit, and it fixed it. maybe it will happen to u. if it does its an easy quick fix. well, cya!
>>21771666why not get pic rel?
best part of induction is how easy they are to clean
>>21773153inside? this is how you blow up your house accidentally while cooking grilled cheeses.
>>21771666This is the only good version of this meme. My condolences, I still sometimes have flashbacks to the shitty coil stove in my first apartment. I'd have to turn all 4 dials to high just to see which ones felt like working at that moment and they'd reassign themselves randomly to whatever coil they felt like. Put a bright spin on it and consider it training in an adverse environment. You could also use this opportunity to git gud at grilling or use the broiler more.
>>21773737your rebuke smells of cowardice
Try living in an apartment with a really overbearing and jewy strata council of geriatric boomers for 6 yearsBeing a rentoid is pure humiliation ritual
>>21773947yea well my parents wont buy me a house
>tfw apartment has a gas stove with all utilities included in rent (which is low)
>>21772844>stupid cycling that causes the temp to go up and down constantlythat only happens in bottom of the barrel stoves>not being able to tell if the stove is on from a distanceit's in the same state you left it in>the pan losing heat when tilting to bastebasting is a meme>zones getting less hot when you turn up the othershouse wiring issue
>>21773957still a rentoid
>>21772300Primary issue is that electric stoves are binary; they're either just on or off and the temperature setting just controls how long they're on for to vaguely approach it. A flame gives actual fine temperature control instead of peaking hot enough to burn the bottom of what you're making if you don't move it and then shutting off to get colder over time
>>21774273I am almost 50 and gave used both extensively and it sounds tobme like you've barely if at all ever used an electric stove. I find it far, far easier to get a consistent low heat with a coil element than a gas burner. That's actually my main issue with it, I can take the oldest, thinnest piece of shit pot I have and put some soup or some shit to heat up on a coil stove, turn it on minimum and it's good, I can ignore it and come back to hot soup. With gas I have to get the flame nice and low but also if it's a shitty pot, it means all the heat is now centered on that tiny flame where it'shot so if I'm not constantly monitoring it and sturing I end up with burt soup in the middle of the pot and cold soup everywhere else. I don't hate gas, it's what we have currently as our primary stove. But I also keep a single element hot plate around because it's convenient and when we get a new place I'm going back to electric.
>>21774251Oof
>>21775992>I end up with burt soupMan I hate when that happens
>>21771666Get picrel for the few dishes that need exact heat control
>>21773050Propane personally
>>21773153Don't cry, in the 90s we used something like pic related, but a larger version as it was to heat the whole house
>>21773737>>21776848Mean for this pussy obviously
>>21776760could you just.. set this thing right on the glass top
>>21776851Sure, you can use it anywhere with proper ventilation.
>>21771666Mine won't maintain the temp level I turn it to and I have no idea why. I'll turn it all the way up to High and the coils will get orange for like 20 seconds and stuff starts sizzling then I'll notice food isn't cooking anymore and I'll lift the pan up and it's just normal looking again.
>>21772907>>10 year guaranteeIs that supposed to be good? An oven should last a lifetime.
The separate induction stovetops not having knobs to control it is really bad ergonomicsI guess you can get stove/oven combos where its still knob controlled but holy shit its annoying to deal with touch screen buttons
>>21776760Yeah I have electric inside my apartment but have one of these on my balcony for when I wanna sear some steaks or whatever
>>21773900>>21776850enjoy your gas concentration igniting a 30 foot fireball in your living room I guess. you either open the windows and backdraft to death or keep the windows closed and die of gas poisoning.
You need to buy better shit anons. I have and induction stove/oven combo that works just fine and has knobs.
>>21774273that heating element issue really isn't so bad when you consider that thermal inertia is a thing, and switching the element on and off will not switch it between too cold and too hot, but increase and decrease the temperature of the heating element until it reaches the target temperature.a low gas flame could be too small to cover the entire bottom of a large pan, and thus cause a heat gradient and uneven cooking.you can somewhat counteract that by using a thick, cast iron pot with lots of thermal inertia.
>>21776750Yeah, gas isn't bad and if you have good quality cookware it's not an issue. But this whole notion that it's somehow far superior to coil elements has never rung true to me. Almost 50, been cooking pretty much my whole life and have used both extensively. Would never choose a gas stove over electric.
>>21772907>10 years later>fails>new oven/range shopping >all models require Internet connection and an app>It's not a big deal anon, just download the app to run your oven. You can control it remotely and set timers >6 months later>to provide quality customer support and security updates, we will be charging 2.99 a month for access to the app
>>21774251at least I'm not a fiatfag
>>21771666>apartmentHone your skills now for subpar cooking conditions. Be prepared for the fire alarm to be poorly located and overly sensitive too. Save your monies to end your situation as fast as possible.
>>21779921>fire alarmsmoke detector, dumbass baka retard
I have an ikea portable electric because my rentals stovetop is the really shit old electric types that smell like burning and rusted.>temperature setting 1does nothing>temperature setting 2mild heat>temperature setting 3instantly boils water>4 to 9literally pointless because anything you do will instantly burn whatever you're trying to cook
>>21779939I assume your low end detector aren't wired, and aren't hooked up to your fire alarm, and don't physically call the fire department and alarm company. Stop being poor.
>>21772300gas stoves are literallu the worst for searingThey can't even get hot enough to do a 30 sec sear on a ribeye
>>21772345Delusional
>>21772982>>21773085>>21773518Yeah but you can't even make a fuckin French omelet on those glasstop bullshits lest you want to scratch the fuck out of it
>>21774222
>>21771666Nice trips satan. I've got gas thought. apartment owner
>>21777526How scratched is it though?
I only used a gas stove a few times and it sucked because it didn't get hot enough compared to elecric, which will easily get hot enough to melt the pan.
