Matter of preference, I guess.We have a tea kettle on our cooktop
that hardly ever gets used. A recent houseguest used it. We use
the u wave.
In the camper we use an induction cooker and a convection
microwave. Never use gas except for grilling
I use the microwave a lot but I do not do a lot of actual "cooking" in
it. Usually we just heat up leftovers, thaw things out or something
like preheating a potato before I put it in the oven.
I end up cooking outside on the grill as much or more than I cook in
the house and the oven is outside. When I am deep frying or cooking
fish it is always outside. Keeps from smelling up the house,
particularly if I am "blackening" it. (actually just a sear, "blacken"
is a figure of speech). I also grill a lot of stuff.
More racist stuff. Do you have a preference for seasonings when you do 'blackened'? I like
Prudhomme's pretty well, but have never tried another. When I do it, I use a cast iron skillet on a
gas flame, letting it get 'white hot'. Can't do it inside though.
The oven and water heater being outside may just be a Florida thing
but when your A/C bill is 100x your heat bill, it makes sense. My A/C
is 3 years old and I am not sure the heat strips in the air handler
have ever been on. We have a 1.4kw toaster strip in the electric
fireplace that gets used a few times a year, usually first thing in
the morning when my wife is getting ready for work. Then it is off the
rest of the day.
