Gas stoves are kitchen appliances that use natural gas or propane as fuel to cook food. They have burners that produce flames, allowing for quick and adjustable heat. Many chefs prefer gas stoves because they provide instant heat and precise temperature control, making cooking more efficient. These stoves often come with additional features like ovens for baking and griddles for making pancakes or grilling sandwiches. While gas stoves are popular, it's important to ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen to avoid any buildup of carbon monoxide, a colorless gas that can be harmful in high concentrations.
