You will find that professional chefs prefer NG 1,000,000 to 1 over electric ranges.
You can control the heat much better and they get hot faster then electric ones.
Trust me I know, you won't find a single professional kitchen with electric.
With ranges dual-fuel types are better than either gas or electric. On the cook-top, there's no doubt that gas is better than radiant heat electric. However, in the oven portion, electric is better than gas. The problem with a gas oven is that the combustion of gas creates water vapour which affects whatever is being baked or roasted. Plus there's no such thing as a gas convection burner (usually just a fan to create current in gas ovens).
