The home appliance industry would like you to believe that gas-burning stoves are not a risk to your health – and several companies that make the devices are scrambling to erase their prior acknowledgements that they are.

    Apologize for ruining the humor with pedantry but …

    You’re probably on that puny ~110-120 volt supply.

    Assuming this is a dig at the US, major appliances like stoves use 240v circuits. I think there are a couple possible but my new stove circuit is 50a 240v, the same as my car charger

      Well, yeah, because we’ve got twice that on stoves and 240 on regular outlets? So it’s still just half of what most of Europe is using. Which would very well explain the difference in experiences.
