She originally said she had an all electric stove, then when gas was
available got the gas cooktop, I assume a countertop cooktop... so she
must still have the electric stove but isn't using the electric top
burners. She never said anything about having seperate wall ovens,
she said stove. She really was very unclear, that's why my
questioning. And when I asked what's better about an electric oven
saying that's what I like is a non answer because that's not what's
better about the electric oven. The only real differences between an
electric oven and a gas oven is the fuel and that electric costs more
than gas. If somone is going to be switching to gas cooking the
normal person would buy a whole new gas stove, not go to to the
trouble and expense of buying and installing a gas countertop unit...
that means she gave up that countertop space for no viable reason and
has to look at those unused electric cooktop burners collecting dust
on the old stove. Maybe she installed that new gas cooktop in her
bathroom vanity. LOL
