[Burnt Rice]

Ava - Makes sense to be a bit turned off by dead things. Since living things tend to want to keep living. It is also painful for us to go through loss, so perhaps there's a subconscious link going on there.

mdom, the reason we have gas stoves is because they cook things better. Electric takes time to heat up. Which in turn makes your pots and pans take longer to heat up. Plus electric takes time to cool down. Which in turn keeps your pots and pans hot for longer, over cooking the dish.
Then again, maybe there are good electric stoves out there this day and age. But those must cost a fortune.
