CountryByNet.com Forums :: Re: I need canning help. Please.

I'm sure I could learn to use an electric just fine (I did OK on my mom's) but I prefer gas and until or unless this one dies an irreparable death it is a done deal. I have a small plain 4 burner gas apartment sized range in the basement. I find that I can do OK on anyones gas stove by looking at the fire but #5 on your electric stove may not be the same as #5 on the next one. I know if I remove the pan from the electric burner it will stop cooking just as fast as my gas stops but... that takes making a new habit.

The most important thing is if you like what you have and get good results because you sure won't taste the difference. I have 3 microwaves in the kitchen and a little roll up doored spot for a 4th that is currently holding a 4 slice toaster. I use a microwave as often as I use the stove top. There are things that don't microwave so well. I still like to boil water the old fashioned way for pasta and hamburger gravy MUST BE MADE in a skillet. Would you believe, I have a pressure cooker for use in a microwave. Yes, it is fast.
