Looks Photoshoped. You can get slightly greenish hue in flame if you use brass burners. But it's definetly not as prominent as on that picture
The stove of the Nazgul.
Tangentially related. Pilot light kept going out on two appliances. Utility company came. Had to turn turn the main bc too strong blowing out pilot. Why? Everyone replacing with electric means more supply and more physical pressure on the infra.
Everything in my area is electric and oh gawd the electric bills. Also my fiance is a chef and hates having to cook on am electric range.
I don't know why those are not popular in the US, but inductive ranges are the best.
The radiant heat electric ranges suck. Some are better than others but they’re still the worst. I have induction now and it’s the closest to gas in temperature control. My parents were able to cook on it with basically zero adjustments (they have gas). The speed at which water boils is insane. 8 quart pan for pasta? Just over 7 minutes to a full rolling boil.
He hates consistent and predictable heat cycles that are 100% efficient heating instead of 80% of the heat escaping to everywhere but the pan?
If they've got an older type of electric stove, they don't produce an even heat, the element clicks on and off constantly. Even cheaper inductive cookers do this, and it can make things difficult for cooking.
I am not convinced an electric stovetop is any more efficient at transferring heat to the pan than gas is, unless you are using induction which the majority of electric hobs will not be.
Edit: I have been convinced now, see below
I encourage you to find some thermal camera videos, and get some specs to do a bit of math for your own situation. Gas stoves typically create a BUNCH more heat, going up and around the sides of the pan/pot, while electric (of all types) is much more focused on the bottom surface. It's also why electric is so bad for cooking in a wok.
Haha wow, this guy on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/Thermal/comments/1qffa4e/infrared_video_of_my_gas_stove/
Electric heating is 100% efficient in general, as in 100% of the energy used is converted to thermal energy. No other heating method can claim this period (except geothermal and other heat pumps which can be several thousand percent effective but are impractical for spot heating.)
So the real difference is induction versus resistive coil efficiency at transferring that energy to the food...
Luckily a ridiculous amount of research has been done to show:
Gas is about 40% efficient
Electric coil is about 74% efficient.
Induction is 80-90% efficient.
So not only are you using more efficient methods of creating heat than combustion, you are getting more heat transferred to your food per unit of energy used. By double.
Gas stoves are great for two things, and only two things:
Jet-Gas stoves for Woks.
And Charring vegetables when you're too lazy to start a grill.

Yeah, I was careful to specify transferring heat to the pan.

Ok I am convinced now 😆. I'm easy to convince if you have data. I am surprised though, I have used all three and induction is by far the quickest to heat. I can boil a giant pot of water in a few minutes, so I am a bit surprised that the difference between electric and induction is not that big.
I guess gas is fast to heat because it stores a ridiculous amount of energy so it can waste plenty and still be quick.
Perfectly efficient at turning electrical energy into heat that goes everywhere but the bloody pan, sure.
Bro grow tf up.
I doubt that's how it works, because the gas company could just set the pressure on the pipes, like how divers have a certain pressure when breathing out of a tank with varying pressure.
That's just not how pressure regulators work though, they all drop in pressure under flow compared to static, it's inherent to how they work.
I googled it. It's cancer.
LLM told me it's an erectile disfunction and suggested gay sex. It can't be wrong amirite?
If a gay sex helps you with your problem, then your problem is not an erectile dysfunction, but something else.
Yes. I Web MDed it, can confirm cancel.
My wife died of cancel. Its such a green way to go.
Gas stoves don't burn hot enough for the copper pipes to be burning, so... maybe they cleaned the stoves with boric acid..?
Seems like the right colour... 🤔
More than likely just a filter on their camera. If it was from copper pipes, which is rare, it would be from copper oxide build ups inside the pipes. Of course the color wouldn't be this uniform, but the same can be said for some kind of cleaning product.
I associate the green flames with either copper or not rinsing off your chlorine containing cleaning agent well enough.
it means the next thing you Cook on it will be of uncommon rarity
Aww, I really wanted medium rarity :(
I'll take mine common.
But make it unique.
... Surprise me.
Doesn't that mean you are using eco gas?
