omg, is this for real? weird how recent conspiracy rumbling about gvmnt taking away gas stoves may have been covering for a real conspiracy. First I've read about benzene in stove fumes. Like cooking w/gas

And how annoying they are to clean. In China, I had a gas stove and it seemed like it left residue on everything. Getting into the nooks and crannies to scour it was also annoying, and one time I accidentally broke one of the burner heads.

My induction stove at home now is just a flat surface. It cooks quick enough, has no fuss, I don't have to worry about carcinogenic fumes, and I can just quickly wipe it down when I'm done if any shit gets on it.
