11. I think they're safer in many ways

I'm using an inexpensive inductive hot plate for most non-oven cooking. It uses a 110VAC outlet, no special wiring.
-No open flame to burn me or catch things on fire
-no chance of gas leaks from the appliance or piping (there have been news stories of home explosions)
-it cools very quickly when done cooking
-it shuts off/pauses automatically if I remove the pan
-no combustion gases

And best of all, it runs efficiently on green electricity. My home fossil use is WAY down.
