The current-thing people who want to ban gas stoves have convinced me: I'm getting rid of my stove. I've hated it since I moved here, but thought I'd wait until it wore out before I replaced it. But thanks to the current-thing crowd, I've just put in an order for this baby:

The last time I bought a stove, it was second-hand. But when I shopped for one yesterday, I only found two gas stoves in white, and one of them looked like it was made about the time Julia Child was on TV. But second-hand stores were full of detestable glass-top electric stoves like the one I'm getting rid of. The one I just bought is back-ordered for a month.
I'm not worried about getting asthma. For one thing, I cooked on a gas stove for 19 years and didn't get asthma. Before that, I was a prep cook and didn't get asthma (restaurants use gas). Heck, I worked on a loading dock where the air was so dirty it turned my snot gray and I didn't get asthma. I'm not concerned about a junk-science study associating asthma with gas stoves.
I'm looking forward to consistent cooking cooking temperatures, using a nine-jar canner again, a stove top I can get clean, and broiling meat without setting off the smoke alarm. The current thing people are welcome to my old glass-top electric stove.
