What are the benefits, if any, of buying a gas stove opposed to an electric stove?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Wouldn’t an electric stove be easier to clean, cheaper to use, and safer to operate than a gas stove? If so, why do people still buy gas stoves? Is it like solar panels; the initial price is just too much?

It is less likely that your gas will go out than your electricity.

Flames heat faster than electricity so preheating is quicker.

Gas ovens tend not to develop hot spots like electric ovens so they bake better.

Where can I find a set of black cutlery?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

I’m looking for a set of nice black cutlery. I can’t seem to find anything on the internet or anywhere. I don’t want two piece black & silver.

For instance, a fork would be one piece of metal, but completely black or onyx in colour.

You can obtain this from a manufacturing cutler it is usually called "blued" steel. But as a one off, it will cost you.
