Helen, good to know! My regular electric stove has the coils and I'm not fond of it, but it works for now. I have a butane two-burner stove for camping (in the garage I have an ancient Coleman stove that burns white gas). The butane stove was bought in 2021 after the long freeze and power outage; since then the neighbors (who always buy excellent products) realized there was a bank on the back of their powerful generator that wasn't being used, so since then we run a line between our houses, and I got a 100' 12 gauge cord to use (my last cord was 16 gauge and not as robust for the job). If they aren't home, I'm on my own, but if they are, I can use an electric burner to cook.

I think if I get a portable one to work with it won't be long before I convince myself to swap out the stove for something like this.
