I don't have to think twice: gas burners for sure! I don't have an oven preference, though.

I love gas but, unfortunately, have had electric for the past 20+ years :(

Gas! I bought a free standing stove when I lived in Tulsa, and moved it with me. Unfortunately it is still just sitting in the garage. We need a cabinet altered and the stove top taken out, and gas laid before we can put it in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, we are waiting for that Tulsa house to sell, cause we need money to get the above done.

I've never had a gas stove and I don't want one. A friend has one and he got rid of it, he was used to electric and found it hard to cook properly on a gas stove.

Gas then electric with coils--I hate my smooth top!!!

Electric

Electric, with a smooth top.

My cooktop is Gas. I have never been able to master cooking on an electric. My oven is electric.

I don't know why they both aren't gas.

Prefer gas, but have electric.

I have electric, but would like the cooktop to be gas. I'm happy with the electric oven, but have burned more blasted stuff on the electric top!

Gss (top & oven). I've had both, and if I couldn't have gas, I'd do without!

gas!

I have an electric smooth top. I always prefered gas.

Funny - I prefer my 60's model electric stove. Have a gas stove in the Chincoteague trailer and I use the microwave more. I hate the gas cooktop.

Never had anything except electric. I do see how gas might be preferable though.

Always had gas, I find it hard to cook on electric.

Nothing but gas for me.

Electric. Had a gas stove to explode and would never have gas again.

most definitely gas.

gas here too.

Gas stove top and electric oven. Would never buy a convection oven again. We can barely get a large Papa Murphy pizza in it, it's not deep enough.

Gas, because you can't control heat with electric.
Electric is good enough for heating things up, but difficult to do any real cooking.

Like Leslie, I have a smooth electric cook top but I prefer gas.

Gas, gas and nothing but gas. Besides complete control over the heat source, there's something very visually appealing about cooking with gas as opposed to electric. Then there's the fact that the majority of professional chefs, cookbook authors and restaurateurs choose gas over electric.

Gas for me.

Electric but if necessary I will use a gas stove.

Everyone I know seems to prefer gas, but frankly something about it scares me. I've had both and not noticed a big difference in the things I cook.

Gas but I have electric and propane in the 5th wheel.....Stacy

I love my gas stove. The oven is very trustworthy and the stove has "infinite" settings for heating foods. I grew up using electric stoves. Now I wouldn't trade my gas one for the world!

I have had a gas range before but have had electric. I have a new smooth top range and I love it. I have had electric longer than gas. I grew up with first kerosene and then electric.

I have a smooth top electric but would love to cook with gas.

I had electric most of my adult life, but when we bought this house, the first thing I did was take out the electric cooktop and replace it with gas. There is far more control in temp with gas than electric, to me.

I've never had a gas oven. Someone told me that a gas oven is great for bread baking, which I do some of but not a lot - I can't afford to replace my electric driven double oven with gas, so I'll just have to suffer ;)

Gas! The only way to cook.

Ideally, I want a dual fuel stove...gas cooktop and electric/convection double oven.

What I'll probably get is a gas range.

What I have is a wounded electric range. If I set the oven to 410 degrees, the oven will, eventually, heat up to 350. It takes it about 30 minutes to reach this temp. Three of the four burners work.

Still, I'm not cooking over an open buffalo-chip fire to feed six children, so I'm not complaining!

I've never had anything but electric and I can't remember the last thing I burned. Oh, we rented a house in town for a couple of months while this house was being finished. It had a gas stove and Woody did all the cooking on it, I wasn't going near it. That house caught on fire (bad wiring, not grounded) and all I could think of afterwards was how lucky I was that I didn't get blown up from a gas leak.

I love electric. Grew up with a gas stove but frankly, I am scared of gas stoves. Mama's caught on fire and almost burned the house down!
I have no trouble controlling the heat on my smooth top electric stove. I do not burn food either.
And I love the ease in cleaning the top!

Deb

Gas,hands down.
Kathi

Give me electric

Gas.

We have a double oven gas range and love it!

I've had both from time to time.

I much prefer gas, but now have electric with that ceramic or glass or whatever it is top. I loathe, hate and despise it!

Sue

Have had electric for years - it's O.K.

Landlady 25 years ago used gas. Think that I prefer gas - gas is fast.

Had a Philips-built stove in Korea that vaporized kerosene stored in a small tank on the wall: procured from Hong Kong - British nurse, wife of colleague, had known about it. Kerosene-fired fridge, as well.
