My current apt has a pretty decent gas stove, and I've actually gotten
used to using it (being, by nature and training, one of those
Philistines Who Prefers An Electric Stove), but I hadn't used the
broiler thingy until a couple of weeks ago. Found out that I don't like
cooking around my ankles, either, and I also don't like the way I
couldn't adjust the closeness of my dish to the flame. I ended up
setting off the smoke alarm. Twice. And I really miss the extra
storage space.
