Gee, each burner on my gas stove has a control which allows me to vary the amount of gas which is allowed out of the jet. This gives me much more control over the temperature of the burner than any of the electric stoves that I've had to live with (four, to be exact). The ability to vary the flame isn't new, is it Snoopy? :-) Seriously, I suspect that the problem is not with the gas stove, but with the user of the gas stove. As for which type of stove is better, I prefer gas. However if others prefer electric (my mother does, and mothers aren't ever wrong, are they?) then that's fine too. /Don -- "Do you always act normal, or are you just teasing me?" arpa: Wegeng.Henr@Xerox.ARPA uucp: {allegra,princeton,decvax!rochester,amd,sunybcs}!rocksvax!dw || ihnp4!tropix!ritcv!rocksvax!dw
