The Energy Department is poised to finalize modest efficiency standards for stoves and ovens, potentially saving consumers money on energy bills - eviltoast

The topic of gas stoves ignited a heated debate last year when a Biden appointee suggested they could be banned because they posed a risk to human health.

But a ban isn’t in the works — and this week the administration will finalize a scaled-back plan to make new stoves less energy-intensive.

    Some of the newer induction stoves have temperature sensors in them, letting you set pot temperature rather than the amount of heat you put in. You get WAY better temperature control than I ever did with gas as a result.
