With help from the CEO of Forward Dining Solutions, who speaks from his experiences as a restaurant chef, CNN's Kirsi Goldynia cuts through the half-backed, reactionary sentiment and anti-science gaslighting that is quietly encouraged by the natural gas industry and its lobbyists.
| quote | | It wasn’t until [Chef Chris] Galarza happened to take a job in an all-electric kitchen and his symptoms disappeared that he started connecting the dots between his health and the gas stoves he had been accustomed to using. |
|
| quote | | In 2019, Galarza founded Forward Dining Solutions, a culinary consultancy dedicated to helping companies create fully-electric kitchens. As cities from coast to coast—including Berkley, San Francisco, New York City—have slowly started banning natural gas stoves in new buildings, Galarza has been there to not only help ease the transition to electric, but to educate chefs on why it is the way of the future. |
|
| quote | | “It’s not true at all that gas stoves cook better,” he says. “In fact, you can cook about 38.6 pounds of food per hour with your gas range, and it’s going to take time and elbow grease to clean and degrease it afterward. With [electric] induction, you can cook 70.9 pounds of food per hour—nearly double the amount of food—and your clean up is going to be a lot easier.” |

Translation: Leftist media uses wheezing cook who doesn't understand the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy and on the basis of that ignorance started an electric skillet club to promote his anti-science conflation.
Leftists gotta Leftist ...because correlation and causation are the same thing when there's a Marxist narrative to push

Before which of these five fabulous but fictional altars of gas range mythology do you prostrate yourself in a cloud of smoke from burning incense?
- Biden—or federal regulators—want to take your gas stove away
- Gas stove hazards are “newfound”
- No [other] type of cooking can compare [favorably] to the gas stove [or oven]
- Most of America uses gas stoves
- As long as you use ventilation, the risks don’t matter

During my 27 years as a truck driver, from the '70s through the '90s, I spent plenty of time in and around warehouses. The preferred power for forklifts that operated in enclosed spaces was gas (natural or propane) because it was a relatively safe and clean fuel. Battery technology was limited at the time and only used in very small forklifts.
There are a lot of people who worked in distribution or industrial jobs who spent ten or twelve hours a day, five or six days a week, for most of their lives in enclosed environments with CNG/Propane machines. I suppose they are all dead now, huh?
The advantage of a gas stove is that the heat can be changed instantly and precisely. Outside, a gas grill is just much more convenient than wood, charcoal, pellets, etc. You rode a horse, once. Have you ever grilled a slab of dead cow? Do you even know what mesquite smells like?
My guess would be that the "ban gas stoves" story was a trial balloon, much like the Supreme Court leak or the "ministry of truth". I believe that they fully planned to implement it if they had not gotten such a huge amount of pushback.
Just the thoughts of an old, retired gearjammer.

Just like everything else the commies do, this is yet another means of control.
They want everybody to use electricity exclusively, so that they control the switch.
Do something they don't agree with, no power for you.
Go somewhere with out big brothers permission in his electric car, well they'll put a stop to that.
This is about 1 thing... CONTROL.

There are other illustrations like this, in a new article from the Washington Post, written for homeowners and renters who have gas-fired kitchen cooking ranges.
One for good measure...

And one for the road:

That's just 3 of the 10 illustrations that comprise this marvelous modern living guide.

"The scientific case against gas stoves"
| quote | | Health experts have known for decades that indoor air pollution hurts children's’ lungs. Now, there are good alternatives to gas stoves. |

An 8-minute read and it's all good. Here's how it ends:
| quote | For those who want to make the switch [from gas to electric], the options are increasing by the day, and the Inflation Reduction Act includes incentives to help pay for non-gas options.
Rachelle Boucher, an induction stove expert and former personal chef, has a favorite trick she calls the “pasta water” test: She brings potential buyers into an induction stove showroom and puts a pot of water on to boil.
It “happens so fast their eyes turn into saucers,” she says.
Professional chef Jon Kung loves induction, even for super-high-heat wok cooking—a style some feared wouldn’t work without gas. Working in high-end kitchens in China, he saw induction everywhere: it provided “better safety, better comfort, and just a more reliable and cleaner technology,” he says.
He just remodeled his home kitchen all-electric. “I love it,” he says. |

Saucers... get it? In a kitchen? 
 "Jill and I have already decided to replace that gas-fired kitchen range--you may have seen a photograph--with an induction unit."
I just made that up. Click to show[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 02-18-2023).]
