Gas stoves fill the air in your home with particulate matter (pm), which has been found to increase cancer risk in the long term.

So next time you buy a stove, consider choosing an induction stove.

Btw, gas stoves being better or faster than induction is a myth. They have certain specific advantages, but they are actually slower.

    Since this is the stove thread:

    I had a pot of salt water overflow from boiling on a electric stove and now there is this tough ring of residue around the burner caked on and it won’t scrub off. Is using a razor blade to scrape it off really the only option?

    I’m worried I will scratch the stove top and the landleech will have an excuse to steal my security deposit.

    Edit: thank you all for your helpful advice

      One thing I like about gas stoves is the ones with sealed burners are a hell of a lot easier to get clean-looking than the glass tops of electric stoves. They get nasty so quick I prefer the old-style coil ones.

      For your problem I’d try soaking a paper towel in CLR cleaner. It’s probably lime from the water and not salt.
