Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Electric stoves

[michael barrett (mbarrett]

I note you are all electric, but propane comes ina truck and into a 
tank. That's what we have at Shadowlake Village, Blacksburg, VA

This link says use gas or induction heat and explains why pretty well.
Large pots just take forever and burn in the middle while the outside is 
uncooked. Heat from the gas flame flows over the whole bottom surface 
even up the sides of a large pot.  More expensive I understand and much 
more messy to clean, but i believe the cookswill thank youif they've 
ever tried to cook abig meal for a crowd.
