The U.S. government is considering banning gas stoves due to environmental and health concerns. Gas stoves emit greenhouse gases and pollutants, worsening climate change and indoor air quality. This move addresses the release of harmful substances like nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, which pose respiratory risks. Electric and induction stoves are proposed as efficient and safer alternatives. The potential impacts include upfront costs for new appliances and electrical upgrades, shifts in appliance manufacturing, and adjustments in cooking techniques. Homeowners are encouraged to stay informed about regulations, explore electric stove options, and ensure proper kitchen ventilation.

The self-cleaning feature in ovens, introduced by Thermador in 1963, offers a convenient way to clean ovens using two primary methods: High-Temperature Cleaning and Steam Cleaning. The high-temperature method heats the oven between 800°F to 1000°F, turning food residues into ash, while the steam cleaning operates at a cooler 250°F, softening light soils for easy removal.
