  Gas vs Electric range for cooking

I'm going to be buying a new range for the new (to me) house as the one left by the sellers is 9-10 years old and was so cheap it has no bottom drawer and the oven door isn't see through.

If I stay electric, I'm getting a smooth top due to the easier cleaning. But I don't like how electrics stay warm for so long. I have a 2 year old that I worry will touch the hot surface. Granted, get burned once and you learn. Been there and done that myself.

But I hear gas is great for cooking and allows you to turn down the heat on a pan quickly to avoid cooking over (spillage). I'd have to find someone to run gas to the range. Not impossible.

So what are people's preferences? Pros & Cons to both? I've not used gas before for cooking other than a grill so I am looking for feedback.

Thanks!

  Gas vs Electric range for cooking

Thanks for the input guys. I do 95% of the cooking so the range is pretty much for me. My wife is afraid of gas, but we've lived with gas furnaces and hot water heaters since we were married. So I don't really understand the issue.

A couple of years ago, we upgraded our pots & pans to a nice set of Analon. That made a big difference in cooking. That was on an older GE basic electric range. So I'd like to step up with this new range. I should measure the length of gas line and get a quote on what it will cost to have gas run to the range spot.

I hate cleaning the stove so I like the idea of better temp control w/ gas or the easier cleaning of the smoothtop.

KT - yeah, got a house finally. Long & painful saga. But only 1 acre. I'm waiting for spring to see if keeping teh 4310 makes sense. I really missed it this February when I suddenly had to clean a driveway coated in ice because it wasn't maintained since the house was empty until we bought it. That sucked. I may go get the tractor tomorrow if I can get the garage cleaned up enough to find space for it.
