Excerpt from Popular Dishes
Gas for cooking purposes is every year becoming more popular, and no wonder, for it is an ideal fuel.
In warm weather where a gas range is used, one can cook without the discomfort of a hot cast iron range, the heat from which, added to that of the summer weather, makes life a burden, and cooking a drudgery.
A gas range gives but little heat (unless you wish it to) and cools off quickly after using.
From five to ten minutes only are required for heating the oven, while a cast iron or steel range usually requires an hour. With a gas range in the kitchen, cooking is a delight. In using gas for cooking, a few simple rules should be observed. Never light the top burners until ready to use them and when through with them turn the gas out. If needed again in a few minutes, it is better to relight than to leave them burning. Remember that matches are cheaper than gas.
