Are induction stoves that much safer than gas? We tested them.

1. I have to wonder that if you use your exhaust hood system, how much toxic gas escapes into your home.

I do not believe that it is much. I believe that my biggest exposure to toxic gasses comes from driving my car in town. Of course, poisoning myself in town doesn't mitigate poisoning myself in my home. I really like cooking with gas, and I do not feel guilty about it because when I cooked with electric energy it was produced in my regional gas-fired generating station. Six of one, half dozen of the other. There are incalculable tradeoffs such as loss of energy through the grid compared to diesel needed to deliver my gas. That said, using gas for cooking only, I haven't had a gas delivery for nearly four years, and I think I will make it through 2024 as well. (I have a big tank purchased when my whole house was gas when we built it 27 years ago)
