So like I know certain things can’t be cooked on electric, but like I watch YouTube cooking videos and the guys with electric stoves just use like a small propane burner thing that goes on the kitchen counter to use like a wok or Moka Pot. I don’t know when people need 4 gas burners specifically, and I don’t think gas/electric matters for oven…. So shouldn’t that just be the end of the debate.
Like just buy one of the little gas stove things for those specific recipes, and then you won’t get cancer…..
I agree with gas stoves getting better results, but maybe tone down the hostility? I have an induction and really dislike it, but that’s only because improving my ability to cook is one of my main hobbies.
Since you seem knowledgeable on the topic: are those portable burners worth checking out?
Sorry I'm just annoyed that it's even a thing I'm just like what is wrong with people like if we're arguing about stoves this site will literally argue about anything. Also I like my stove.
But sorry I don't know anything about portable burners. I would imagine they'd work just as well as a stove as long as they put out enough heat and as long as they give you the same level of control over it. And as long as they give you a good work area, like I don't have to worry about my stove tipping over but you might need to keep stability in mind if you're shopping for something. Don't want a badly designed thing that'll tip over while you're moving food around.
When you're looking at heat output it's usually measured in British thermal units for some fucking reason, basically the higher the number the more heat it can put out, and generally you want those fuckers to get as hot as possible to get good sears or if you're using a wok for stir fry or whatever. My stove has one burner that goes up to 13000 BTUs and Id say try to get something at least that high if not higher
Again, sorry I don't have more specific information but I've never used one
Thanks for the response. The BTU and stability points are both good ideas in what to consider. I agree though, this is by far one of the silliest struggle sessions.
Np, and yeah it really is. Good luck in learning to cook, though, it's a fun and rewarding hobby and people will love you for delicious shit
Thanks!
