That's a bizarre generalization. I cooked (unwillingly) on an electric
stove for 4 years before I renovated my kitchen to include a gas stove.
My gas stove kicks ass...I can bring a 12 qt. kettle of water to boil
in under 10 minutes; my old 'lectric couldn't even raise steam in that
amount of time. I say go for the gas.
