Lilly : I just don’t know how you can cook on those unresponsive electric ranges.
Ronnie : The stuff I cook don’t need no response.
Lilly : Just as well you have those matches, I reckon.

I totally take Lilly's side. I grew up with gas cooking and LOVE it. Unfortunately, everywhere I have moved has electric stove tops. *sigh* The things we give up in life! ;0) Great job you two!

There is something primeval about seeing a flame cook your food. Better keep those matches handy in case of emergency. Of course, no matter how much you love it, a gas stove won't work without electricity either. I won't even ask what kind of unresponsive food you are eating!

Gas is much more cheaper than electricity here!
Wonderful shots! :)

Gas or electricity the main thing is to get nice cooking, the fashion in Paris are big ovens with wood as energy

Ronnie, I would have thought that everything you cook would be in the microwave!! Great contrasts again - very colorful....

I love Ronnie's "unresponsive" bon mot! Nice one, guys.

Great couple of images. Wish we had gas. Stir frying's not the same with electric.

You mean those hot spots in my kitchen are supposed to be used for cooking? Who knew?

I am with Lily... cooking with Gas is far more better...

Pro's use gas for real cooking, open a can or box pour in a pan is good for electric. For the modern day person buying an expensive stove then keeping it shiny and clean and eat out is the way.
When seeing this I thought about that red glowing foot warmer you posted awhile back.
I could use some of the heat from any of them. It is freezing in Florida. Ice on the windshield this morning, can you believe it?

Ha... This reminds me of the time when the expression " Now your cooking with gas..." came to mind. I was in my first apartment and was cooking my first meal of which I burned because I didn't realize it would cook so darn fast.

ahaha, this is great. I like the composition contrast too with the electric knob filling the space and the white open space on the right. Nice.

A real chef uses gas ...way to go Lily! :) but I guess Ronnie only uses it to cook water!
Another great composition of these contrasts in heating.

Ronnie, I really, REALLY like this one. It's hot and cold... but it's hot. And it's cool! Fantastic work =)

Ha ha You crack me up! A very funny post
I'm a 'Gas' type of person myself, but hey, each to their own

A superb illustration of the age old question - gas or electric? The dialogue just gets better and better "The stuff I cook don’t need no response" indeed! Rofl!

You made me laugh, again. Why is Lilly always one step ahead, Ronnie?

Lol...Such fun!
I grew up with electric...had a gas range in my first apartment and my first home...I chose a smooth top electric for my current home because I hate clean up! lol. Smooth top rules! It's all about the clean up for me.

Does Lilly know gas is running out.....? Personally I'm a microwave chef.... I can blitz a whole banquet in one.

I used to love gas and moaned and groaned whenever we had an electric stove but I once again have a gas stove and alas, it is ancient and very moody and I curse it daily..all hail the electric stove I say!

Gas is best! and mine works when the electricity goes out, just need to borrow a match from Ronnie to get it going.

Its really tough to get those flames pictured.

Now here we have an age old argument. I'm falling definitely on the 'cook with gas' side, although I admit that the cost of gas has become really expensive now

Oh yes, gas is superior, but I'm confused about the matches - what do you need them for with an electric cooker?

Very funny, I like the slang language, that is what made me smile. ( kind of how some of our folk speak around here....)

At home I have gaz for cooking even if it is quite a modern appartment.
Talking about pictures only I really like the flames in Lilly photo.

Matches?! We don't need no stinkin' matches!
(Yes, go ahead and groan. I expect it.)

Really: gas cooking is way better, even if you only need it for pancakes!

I must agree that an open flame cooks better... Sorry, Ronnie...

As Barbara mentioned, the pros use gas, and for good reason. I'm not fond of gas myself, but I concede it is better for cooking.

Gas is better !! I like your conversation.
