gas stoves

Kitchen flame appliances

Gas stoves are cooking appliances that burn natural gas or propane to produce heat.

The flame is adjustable and responds instantly, which many cooks prefer to electric burners.

Gas stoves have become politically contentious, with debates over indoor air quality and emissions pitting cooking preferences against environmental and health concerns: The argument over gas stoves has become surprisingly heated.
