I prefer a gas kitchen stove.
Everything else electric.

Why is it that you prefer your ovens to be electric?

One time, we were visiting my wife’s parents, and cooked meatloaf for their family. They have a gas, convection, oven, and it cookEd the meatloaf, far better than our electric ovens at home.

so, my experience was the opposite.

They just have a better recipe!

I would prefer a electric oven. The Broiler work much better with a calrod. Temp control ca n be more accurate.

Gas is "wet" heat due to the water formed in the oxidation process of the gas. You can make an E oven wet by adding a small pan of water. I see this done for breadmaking and cake baking.

We LOVE Chef Paul Prudhomme's Cajun Meatloaf recipe. That's Dom Deluise twin brother from a different mother !

Another hint: cold medium Salsa is a great topping for a thick a slice meatloaf on your plate

Yea, there's a long "proud" tradition of building houses in the DMV as cheap as possible and selling them for as much money as possible. Largely due to a transient population that typically sells them and moves on within 10 years.

I used to think the older houses in the DMV were built better until I saw a few...
