![]() It could easily be running for another 50 years (it will probably get passed down with the house to our currently 11 year old daughter). It has 4 monster output, cast-iron burners, a griddle and an oven. We have had a 50+ year old "US range" brand "smaller" commercial/restaurant stove for the last 20 years or so, that we bought used from a friend for about $600 who had bought it used from a friend of his. TLDR Consider the benefits of buying a used restaurant/commercial stove for an ultra-reliable, low-maintenance, work-horse of a stove/oven. The ease of use that you'd get from a gas range in the roughly $3000+ range is not that different from what you'd get out of an electric of the same price. My gas stove makes the kitchen unbearably hot, to the point that I have to open the patio doors in February.Īll of this is to say that, basically, a high-end stove is a high-end stove. I love the quick heat response on my gas stove, but that's not exclusive to gas anymore, and frankly I would love not to deal with a vent hood (which is noisy and has to be cleaned) and the excessive amount of heat loss. A lot of restaurants are switching to high-end electric stoves, because it makes for a significantly cleaner and more energy efficient kitchen. Not least of which is the fact that gas is incredibly inefficient. I think the cult of the gas stove has gotten a little out of hand, and it obscures the fact that gas does have real downsides which you should be aware of, just as electric does. Way more energy efficient, and way easier to install. I still have a gas stove at home (I live in a rented house at the moment), but we’re looking at building/buying a place in the next few years, and a nice electric is kind of a no-brainer on that front. The temperature response was really quick, and I didn’t have to cook any differently from how I do with gas, which is what I’m used to. ![]() Honestly, I used to be super sold on gas over electric, until I tried a high end electric stove.
