The main difference between an electric and a gas stove is that an electric stove uses electricity to produce heat, while a gas stove produces heat by burning natural gas. Electric stoves typically have more precise temperature control than gas stoves, as well as other safety features such as automatic shut offs and overheat protection. Gas stoves tend to be easier to use, since they require no electrical setup or maintenance.
