I live in a dry cabin in the woods of Alaska. My stove uses propane. Our electricity is not that reliable. Without propane we could freeze. I grew up in NYC. Those old apartments all had gas stoves plus my dad smoked three packs of Lucky Strikes IN THE HOUSE! None of us kids got asthma. I just turned 70.
Good post about a complex situation. I'm not sure why there are people here responding that you're being too political or voicing support for eliminating gas stoves. I suggest those people actually read your article again. I love cooking with gas, but if it helps save the planet, I'm down for changing to electric. Seriously, people. Oh, and the commenter who said you shouldn't be political—have they even read your stuff? Ever? So, yeah, those of you saying it's political and you're done with it, please, yes. Be done with it. Michelle and Matt, keep on rockin'.
Love this. We have a gas stove from the 40’s and are looking to go electric. Since all the chefs I know prefer gas stoves, I’ve had a hard time considering the switch. I mean, I LOVE my O’Keefe & Merritt. So your post is timely and will help to ease me into the more environmentally friendly option. ❤️
I’m just happy to have a working stove in my home ❤️ and a microwave, instant pot, air fryer.. power goes out and I have a gas grill, skottle.. hell I have a 110 outlet in my damn car. I’m feeling that moron elitist hard..
As I scientist, I am so interested into digging more into the data. As a human, I will chain myself to my gas stove before they take it away.
Also, fun fact, a roommate in college started a fire with our electric stove, so now I’m actually more afraid of those because I don’t trust them! Sneaky fires.
I am done with you guys. Why would you feel the need to politicize your once thriving business. Thug kitchen rocked. Do your fucking homework before you preach! Natural gas/electric?? See what’s sustainable.
Bad Manners, your post broke my heart today. I love you guys but you missed the mark. A one size fits all solution is going to fail everyone. As someone smarter than me said, we are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same ocean but some of us are in yatchs and some in rowboats. Don’t shit on gas stoves when you have a viable alternative. It doesn’t make good sense for all of us and for some, the gas stove is the best choice.
I do not believe that anybody cares about the kids with asthma. Except through mothers. Maybe that is the message should be. This is about trying to use a heavy hand to create people from using fossil fuels. But we do not have a reliable electrical grid. We do not have reliable electricity. Why should we endanger ourselves? I want electric and I want fossil fuel back up.
Feed, not fed
Hastening, not hassening
