Mike, I don't know what you're paying for for gas down in Pocatello, but up here, I could triple my electric usage and it would match my gas costs.

It really pisses me off when Avista (local utilities supplier) keeps sending me ads to change my electric over to gas and then increases the gas rates.

For every ones information I pay $.05/kwh for electricity and $.78/therm for gas.

Back to the original question,while never having cooked on a radiant surface, I have been using electric ranges my whole life. When you're used to them,cooking times are no problem.

PS. Mike,I just picked up a Ward's combination microwave-convection oven for $15 at the local St.Vincent de Paul thrift shop. You can have it,if you want it.Or show me how to use it.
