Ranges: Gas or Electric? [View All]

[fortyfeetunder]

I am at the crux of a dilemma.

I currently have a 20+ YO electric range...long outlived its usefulness and a PITA to clean.

I am torn between continuing with electric (which I can't really stand anyway) or go for what I really want, which is natural gas. Current range is installed on an island so I am limited to those models with downdraft fans. Any other installation would require a massive kitchen remodel, which I don't want, I like the arrangement as is.

First I thought of the implications of going for the gas but it's kind of moot because my other home heating systems are natural gas also.

Though I wanted to find from my DU cooking aficionados what has been their experience in the electric or gas range market....Thanks in advance!!!
