I've also found gas is better for frying or using a wok
The consistent heat, even with all the inefficiency, is so much better for anything that requires a precise, consistent temp. Trying to keep fry oil at a specific temp when the electric top is duty cycling is a huge pain the ass.
But, as far as I'm concerned, different tools for different purposes. I hate this black and white mentality that electric is undeniably "better." I'm also getting over the "we found something bad about Z so we should all stop using Z everywhere." Life's about tradeoffs and we will never have something perfect for every use case, so being able to make the choice on what is right for you is important.
Ok, but gas is a lot of bad things. It poisons the air in your house, releases an extremely potent greenhouse gas on accident constantly, and when everything goes right it still inherently contributes to climate change because it’s a fossil fuel.
Like I don’t really care how good it is, it’s a problem.
I agree. My testing was all done on likely the cheapest of each version. I mainly just prefer gas for wok cooking. 90% of the time I don't need a flame. I really ought to just buy a single counter top burner for the wok and get an induction
Replied this in another thread: I don't think it should be prohibited - BUT - never used around kids. Life's about tradeoffs sure and your kids don't deserve to grow up with asthma either.
This shit poses the greatest risk to developing bodies:

I actually have an electric stove. Which is why I'm not against them, I just don't see them as a perfect replacement.
Honestly, I'd probably want both on a range. Use the correct tool for the job. Electric is fine for boiling water or something like cast iron that's going to hold the heat through the duty cycles. Gas for when you need to actually have consistent heat that can be turned up and down.
Which gas stoves and what electric stoves did you test this on?
tell us the model on which you had a wok working. Cuz I tried all of them out there, including $2k ones and it still sucks. Electric/induction stove -- no wok.
I've never used a wok.
The ones in my rentals. So probably the cheapest in each category
