All I want is a gas stove with built-in electric ignition like we have in Japan. It's simple, immediately hot, easy to repair and IMO elegant.


Try induction. As a side skill you can learn to arc weld with a potato instead of a welding rod.


What I showed in the pic is induction probably, most new stoves in Switzerland are. It's ok for directness, but nothing beats gas. I don't even need the damn knob to tell me how strong it is, I can see the flame! There's beauty and fun in cooking with something as simple as fire.


Speak with any professional chef and they will tell you that gas is what you want. The direct control is impossible to beat, induction gets close but it's still not ideal - and regular electric hobs are just miserable to use.


If you don't mind tiny apartments and the smell of hot garbage, move to New York City. Many apartments still use gas stoves


Don't all gas stoves have electric ignition now?
