Electric stoves generally have a slight edge in terms of safety.
Gas stoves have open flames, which can easily spread if a towel,
oven mitt or another flammable object gets too close.
An electric burner can catch things on fire as well, but it takes a lot longer for something to go up in flames.
Why do people like gas cooktops?
Open flames also provide more versatile cooking options. The flames will evenly heat any cookware, even if it's not perfectly flat. Since electric stove burners are perfectly smooth, they often struggle to properly heat uneven cookware. You also have more cooking methods available with a gas burner.
