at a gas stove and immediately start explaining why it is outdated, annoying, difficult to clean, and completely unnecessary.
They will tell you that electric is easier.
Cleaner.
More modern.
More convenient.
Better for the kitchen.
Better for everything.
And meanwhile, I am standing in the middle of this argument thinking:
You are both heating a pan.
That is the part I cannot get past.
You turn a knob.
The cooking surface gets hot.
You put the pan down.
The food starts cooking.
You adjust the temperature.
Eventually, dinner happens.
