Yep, which is why I know your statement was ignorant. I didn't claim that everything is repairable and I'm well aware of boards that are 80% of replacement cost (or unavailable), but that doesn't mean nothing is repairable. Rheostats and burners are cheap and easy if they crap the bed. The smoothtops are easy, just not cheap.

This is more ignorance. There is nothing magical about heat based on its source. Good ovens will have good control and even heat distribution, crappy ones won't. The source of the heat isn't a factor.

so, would you replace the board for 80% of the cost of another stove? If Not, the stove was, is, and will always be un-repairable, as part of un-repairable is Beyond Economic Repair.

how to say I don't fix stuff without saying it

I’ve been without electricity since 6:30 this morning and no expecting until later tonight.

I have gas, so no issues cooking. My water heaters are also gas so we have hot water

Uh huh I'm the dummy...some of you have admitted to using your gas stove as a space heater. Should the flame go out, you'll find out just how unforgiving carbon monoxide is. But y'all press on with it...

Wait till the libtards realize they don’t have enough available amperage coming into their home to run two level 2 Tesla chargers, their commercial electric range and their hvac system. Eat or drive to work …

Amen. And you can always bring in the charcoal grill for some additional heat if the gas stove can't keep up. Just make sure the house is sealed up tight to keep the heat in. Right at the foot of the bed will keep you warm and toasty for a nice deep sleep.

more people die from generators

go buy one

I would not need the charcoal, as my stove will heat the whole house on a good pot roast/turkey cook

a properly adjusted stove puts out very little monoxide

You all are lying through your teeth, just like liberals. Electric stoves are very much used in commerical settings (see link), unless you all are now classifying cruise ships as residential. I wouldn't put that past some you and your twisted logic. Do you not understand that a cheap gas stove will have a lower BTU output than an expensive one? The same applies to electric. You cannot compare some old coil top stove to a high powered radiant or induction cooktop. As always, you get what you pay for. Not to mention, gas ovens just aren't as good for some applications. Water vapor is a byproduct of combustion and that will interfere with roasting and crisping food. No one here has advocated banning gas stoves. You like gas, great. But no need to make stuff up to try and bolster your very odd agenda.

You said gas stoves can’t be used when the power is out because the ignition is electric.

Electric ignition is just for convenience

How to Avoid Your Induction Cooktop From Breaking?


While induction cooktops are quite sturdy, whether it breaks or not depends on your cooking techniques.
If you thump a pot or a pan too hard, it can break.
It is not a good idea to drag the cookware either as that can cause scratches.
Likewise, do not drop heavy cookware like a cast-iron skillet on your cooktop. Always lift the cookware and place it gently.
A good thing about induction cooktops is that you can protect the surface by placing paper towels or newspapers.
They help in soaking the spills and also prevent the surface from getting scratched.
It is not necessary to place a paper towel or newspaper every time you cook. But use it every time you use an old skillet or pot with a rough bottom.
This will protect your cooktop against scratches.
Do not store heavy cans and jars above the cooktop surface. While removing them, they can accidentally fall or slip and break or crack the cooktop surface.
Avoid placing hot lids on the cooktop surface.
That way as the cooktop cools, air can get trapped between the lid and the ceramic cooktop surface. Removing the lid causes the cooktop surface to crack.
Keep objects which can melt, like plastic and aluminum foil, away from the heating zone of the cooktop.
To avoid pitting and permanent marks, clean sugary spills as and when they occur. After cooling down they cannot be removed. Use oven miffs and remove them while the induction is still warm.
Do not use the induction cooktop as a cutting board. To avoid accidents use the child lock option as much as you can.
Try using cookware with the same diameter as the cooking area surface. If they extend the diameter, let it not be more than half an inch.
Do not keep it in a cluttered area and too near the edge of the slab or workspace. Make it a point to clean and store away the induction when not in use.
Clean dry and place a cover over it. Place it in an area that is easily reachable and away from heavy items which can fall by accident on it.
After cooking is over, do not leave the cookware on the cooktop surface. Remove the cookware and place the pots and pan in the sink.
Do not be in a hurry to clean. Wait for the cooktop surface to cool down.
Cleaning a hot cooktop with cold water can crack the cooktop due to sudden changes in temperature.
Likewise, avoid placing really hot items on the cold cooktop. Do not use it like a table or a continuation of your kitchen slab. Period.

I can't seem to find tips how not to break the cast iron burners on my gas stove. Whats that mean?

I never said that. And for $15 I can solve your carbon monoxide fantasy issue right up. But keep pushing that fear porn. That whole can't light a gas stove if the power goes out thing was genius.

I think the newest ones may have a nanny valve that shuts off the gas, needs 120vac to work, but not completely sure

that was one thing I noticed before buying my commercial

(wires going into the regulator) said, thats it, went back old school pilot lights and all
