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

I disagree. The burner and grate retain a bunch of heat when you turn the gas off. Maybe not as much as the electric element but it's still a consideration.

Thanks for your response, I appreciate the dialog and wish people didn't downvote you for having an opinion.

There’s going to be latent heat with any burner, even induction. But resistive electric is the absolute worst.
