Anecdotally I see gas burning stoves a lot still in NA. I think there’s a culture that they’re “better” than resistive or induction stoves.
Though that could just be local to my region, I’d have to look at the stats.
So yea looks like majority is electric, still quite a few with gas though.
Electric stoves now outnumber gas in U.S. households. Approximately 68% of homes cook with electricity, while 38% still use natural gas. In southern and midwestern states, electric stove usage often surpasses 70%, peaking at 90% in North Carolina. However, gas stoves remain popular in places like California, Illinois, and New Jersey, reflecting how local infrastructure and utility prices shape cooking preferences.
I mean I don’t agree with that. I’ve majority used resistive stoves my entire life and I think once you get used to the fact that it’s takes time to adjust heat, you get used to it.
But yea I’d much prefer induction if I could have it. I have an induction wok thing and cooking with that is great, instantly getting different heat levels is nice.
I learned to cook on a resistive stove as a kid and it sucked donkey balls. Cooking on gas when I moved out for college was such a revelation. Induction is even faster as long as you don’t get an induction hob with those stupid touch-screen controls.
Most stoves in North America are electric/inductive anyway.

Induction is great, but resistive electric stoves are practically unusable

True, does seem the style to couple induction with a touchscreen because “futuristic”.
