[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody who can actually cook would ever get an electric stove. It’s always completely ridiculous when dumb realtors claim that there’s a “gourmet kitchen” but there’s an electric stove...  sigh.[/quote]

And you are wrong.  My mother was a cooking instructor for many years.  They moved into a neighborhood that did not have gas lines and there was no way to run a line into the neighborhood.  Otherwise a very nice home and neighborhood.  She still survived with an electric stove.

I've also knew one couple where the guy taught for a while at a cooking school and later worked part-time with a catering company.  Because it was the right house in the right school district for his kids, they moved into a house with an electric stove.  Again, very costly to put a gas line into the house.  He waited until the kids graduated from school and then they moved to another house in a part of town with weaker schools and he got his gas stove.

I'm a good cook and my first home (which I had for 13 years) had electric.  Not my favorite, but when I was young and single, this was the area and neighborhood I could afford to buy a house in on one income.  I would rather have an electric stove than keep renting, so I bought it.  I later married and we lived for another few years in that home.  When we sold, we had enough profit from that house to put a good down payment on our now forever-home--which has gas.

Gas is a huge plus, but not a deal-breaker for me.[/quote]
