Headlines far oversimplified what we can actually conclude from that study.

Either way, there's no question bad things get in the air from gas stoves, and gas stoves are a stupid way to extend reliance on fossil fuels in individual homes.

Gas really makes no sense for a stove, though op may have no choice. I think the air quality thing is overblown, but gas stoves are also:

• Slower to heat than induction
• Bad at low simmers compared to induction
• A pain in the ass to clean (this should be the biggest factor for most people, I think)

The only legitimate reasons to have gas are slightly valid, but also stupid if you think about them for 5 seconds:

1. Wok cooking. But you can still get 95% of the way there with cast iron on most dishes....
2. Gas works during a power outage (but not natural disasters). But in the Northeast I haven't had an extended power outage since 2003...
3. Flame roasting. Yeah, you can do that with peppers on a gas stove. Oven and blow torch work too though.
4. Visual feedback. Probably the only thing I like better about gas, but I really don't find this hard even on crappy electric stoves.
5. Specialty cookware, like for candymaking (copper pots). Really, this does not apply to more than like 0.0001% of people.
