I had to get a new range/oven a few years ago. I cook a lot and I researched all of the options obessively.

I almost went with induction. Induction is a newer technology, more common in Europe, purely electric and based on magnetism, but I didn't like how it performed when I tried it out. Additionally, it's expensive, and they make awful capacitor/electronics buzzing and whining sounds. (I am very annoyed by this kind of sound). EDIT: YMMV on if a particular unit makes annoying sounds, or how annoyed you are by the sounds.

I'm also a bit of a nut when it comes to chemicals, BPAs and plastics, PFOAs, forever chemical, phytoestrogens, etc. So I did a good bit of reading on the health impact of gas stoves and appliances.

My conclusion is that there is indeed evidence that gas appliances can have negative impacts on human health, but that if you do just a few minor things like having a good ventilation system and cracking a window, the potential harm is completely minimal.

So, I bought a new gas range and I installed a new externally venting hoodfan above it. I bought an "Airthings Airwave2" air quality monitor, so I have a pretty darn good idea of the air quality of my home, I am not in the slightest bit worried.
