  1. So much for “cooking with gas”. The electrification propaganda continues. Or is this a joke?

  2. Considering that no country’s grid is up to the task of everyone cooking with electric appliances, here’s an instructional video that you’d be well advised to watch. (It’s a must watch glimpse of our future.)

    BTW, the whole series of these videos is fascinating and truly instructive. They are fairly short and once you start, it’s hard to stop watching the next and the next and the next…

    But really, this is where cooking will wind up given the current trajectory set by the GEBs (Globalist Evil Bastards).


    Lodge brand cookware futures are UP!

  3. No problem. I’m just going to need a 35km extension cord to make coffee when out on the skidoo.

  4. ANY day of the week…donations welcome.
    It is and always will be the best option for a stove. But in our Condo – tis a Glass Electric Stove top.
    Now having said that, I love my air fryer…and use it as often as possible
    Mainly cause it significantly reduces the amount of “juice” I would use as opposed to using the Electric Oven or Electric Stovetop.
    For BBQ, the Nat Gas is provided (part of Condo fees no doubt)

    As for the argument that Nat gas stoves are “unhealthy”..100% pure unmitigated MSM BS – Propaganda.

  5. Government and Private Business working together to build a better future for the greater good!

    /if only there was a name for that form of politics

  6. The main idea at work here is that gas appliances and wood stoves are the technologies that allows you to be free of their ‘system’. Thus they are a threat (to them) and must be forbidden.

    1. They can always cut your gas off – and there goes your heating with it. Wood stove not so much although quite a few municipalities are already banning wood burning. All for the common good if you get the drift.

  7. Wow, they won’t be happy until you are living the life of Winston Smith. Oh, who am I kidding? They won’t be happy even then.

  8. Setting aside the political issues:

    The quarter-wits think we are all idiot children unaware of the existence of hot plates and toaster ovens.

    1. I have been using 2 salton induction plates for years.. faster than gas. And glad to see the Andy Lee post.. Shes found ways to drill down on this gov. corruption. I don’t know how, but her stuff on Huawai is bad news for Trudeau.

  9. Imagine how dumb you have to be in order to be a climate cultist and believe it is a good thing for the planet to use fossil fuels to spin a turbine (with its efficiency loss) to generate electrify that is transmitted across the grid (efficiency loss) to an appliance that uses the electricity to heat a coil (efficiency loss) to generate heat that is applied to what you are cooking, instead of burning gas right where you need it to apply the heat directly.

    1. Phil, you’re making the brash assumption that climate cultists think & reason. They don’t. It’s all about the feelz. In any discussion with the idiots I’ve ever had, the second you introduce logic and empirical evidence into the equation, they either go silent or ballistic.

      1. DB, You must be referring to the useful idiot section of cultists. I’m firmly convinced that the puppet masters do think and reason, their long term plans are beginning to flower, and the UI’s will not be needed much longer.
        However, those of us who are awake, as opposed to merely being woke, are still a threat to WEF Puppet masters

    2. I had a physics instructor spend an entire class on the efficiency losses that take place in the generation and transmission of electricity. He then demonstrated the number of rail cars of coal required to blow dry your hair in your lifetime.
      I towel dry. (Carbon Credits?)

  10. Be all that as it may …. Cooking with gas is a better experience. All chefs use gas … ask them why.

    When all things are electrified, they can all be controlled by whomever … at a safe distance …. like their office.

    Oops no electricity to your stove until tomorrow, you have used up your allotted power for today.

    Just make a sandwich.

    Maybe stay out of the fridge until tomorrow too. You don’t want that power shut off.

    1. “All chefs use gas … ask them why.”

      James Beard both used and advocated electric, because its heat control was more precise.
      But yeah, he was in a very small minority.

      1. I’m not a chef but totally agree with him. Hate the concentrated heat/burnt spot you get with gas stoves, much prefer electric.

      2. James Beard was gay. That explains a lot. And it’s utter nonsense that electric is more responsive. Gas gives me INSTANT pin point control over cooking heat. It’s way faster, and far more efficient than electric. The main problem with gas cooking is that most people don’t control the heat … they just crank up the knob and burn the shit out of their food. Typical human impatience

  11. And, for that very reason in 1968, I first started the personal plea of carpet bombing all schools of “journalism”
    on this side of the glowing orb known as Sol. Imagine……a world without “journalists”.

  12. When Justin Trudeau and Dimentia Joe, Bill Gates, John Kerry, etc. give up flying, give up their gasoline vehicles, give up their gas stoves, and move into 600 ft2 apartments, then I’ll think about going green.

  13. Good luck with that in California. They have an an entire passage in that Code on the regulations applied to the use of hotplates. My favorite is this one:

    (Section § 17921.1 Hotplates )
    (e) The walls behind and adjacent to the hotplate are lined or backflashed with incombustible
    material equivalent to one-fourth-inch asbestos millboard; the backflashing extends from 12
    inches below to 24 inches above the base of the hotplate; and there is 36 inches of clear and
    unobstructed space above the surface of the hotplate.

      1. 1/4″ asbestos millboard emits …
        Nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde all of which have been linked to various health risks
        … or something

  14. I especially appreciate the picture in that article that advises you to put boards on top of your gas cook top and put an electric cook unit on top of that.

    Because flaming boards and kitchen fires are far less deadly than a few burnt methane fumes.

  15. Our new gas stove is coming next month. Ordered early January./not sarc
    We have to show the our gas stove PAL and complete the training course prior to delivery./sarc

    1. FPR, Is that a non or restricted or prohibited PAL? Asking for a friend 🙂

      Just as with covid, it’s about who will accept control/slavery or who might need to be culled when “they” take over!

  16. Nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde all of which have been linked to various health risks

    Right … people are dropping dead from using their gas stoves. Just dead. Hundreds of thousands of “excess deaths”. Piles of bodies! Everywhere. Especially all the rich people with fancy 6-burner Wolf ranges … like Nancy Pelosi. Yeah … all these deaths “linked to” health risks. Lawyers told the WAPO they could legally say … “linked to health risks” … despite utterly NO legitimate medical, scientific, or empirical evidence.

  17. That article confirms that the average reader of WAPO is at the grade 6 or 7 level of education and the authors are about the same. The cost to the consumer dictates what combination of appliances is most economical and that should be determined without the dead hand of government. The fact that there is no corresponding increase in grid capacity nor any plans reflecting energy competence for electrification makes this even more infantile.

    1. The article also confirms that Washington Post’s writers are, too, low in information.

        1. Right-minded people have been calling the WaPo “Pravda on the Potomac” since before Reagan’s presidency.

        2. Stupid propagandists.

          There was a time when propagandists took pride in their work.

          Not anymore.

      1. Just think, in a few years us older folk will have our own code, Cursive. and numerics.

    2. You’re giving their readers far too much credit. I’d go grades 3 or 4 and – even then – would think the grandbrats could outthink them.

  18. And, if you buy a nice, new induction cook-top, you also need “iron”-bottomed pots and pans. All of your “old” alluminium, ceramic, copper and stainless stuff will not work worth a damn on an induction stove.

    If you live out in the weeds, there are these nifty things called “trees’ that can, with a bit of basic manual labour, provide handy-sized “blocks” of cellulose-based material for your slow-combustion range, a device on which you can cook, but which also runs your hot-water system. Kerosene powered refrigerators are a marvel of late 19th Century technology. ONLY to be used with adequate ventilation, of course. As long as you can get Kerosene….. Bio-Diesel conversion?

    1. #1 Diesel known also as Stove Oil works in Kerosene appliances with less smell, cheaper too if bought by the litre, bring your own Jerry can.

  19. Gas provides steady and very controllable heat for cooking. Electric ranges provide intermittent heat which is not good for cooking, especially at the lower heat settings.
