Mike Allan I agree. There have been air quality concerns regarding poorly vented, low-end gas ranges for decades. Now everyone is jumping  on the bandwagon against ALL gas ranges, when we know they are superior for most cooking. We tested our air quality and found no issues with our high-end Wolf gas range top. My $1500 free-standing induction burner is reserved for situations where temp control is absolute, like deep frying. I could never char peppers on it. I was really initially pleased to see that the NYT Wirecutter came out with a fairly reasonable position on gas ranges, but then I was shocked when they retracted it to toe the party line. I'm pro choice on ranges, just like I am on social issues.
