Just crappy electric ranges unevenly burning everything.

Don’t get me started. And they’re about to ban gas ranges in London. If you have one it’ll be grandfathered in, but better get that kitchen renovation done soon.
Cooking with fire is just vastly superior and the so-called “environmental concerns” are nonsense. Plus the ceramic tops break when you use heavy cookware (like cast-iron pans or Dutch ovens), which is the only kind worth cooking with, and you can’t shake a pan or stir fry, etc.
I think it’s the result of lobbying by manufacturers to get people to buy new, higher-margin induction ranges. I’ll build my own gas range with a propane tank under the countertop if I have to.
