Because I like the smooth tops you can get with electric stoves. I am
a lousy cook and often things boil over and then I have to deal with
cleaning burners. I'd much rather just have to wipe it down.
Plus, recently my house almost blew up because the pilot light on my
heater went out while I was at work. So I'm a little wary of gas
appliances now. If I don't HAVE to use gas, I'm not going to. Call me
a coward. I don't mind. . .
