Gas. If I'm going to use electricity to cook my meals, I'll take it in the vastly more cost effective form of a microwave oven and be done with it.
Microwaves are nice, but they tend to not evenly heat things in my experience. See hotpockets as an example.
I've had hot pockets once and I won't lie. I didn't like their taste and do not understand how people can eat that stuff, but back onto the subject of microwave ovens...
I've found when reheating meals, the even heat will depend on two factors. The temperature of the meal before heating and its sugar content. I never put anything frozen into the microwave, only thawed. I never put a meal into the oven without a cover, be it a glass or plastic container cover to retain moisture. If the meal has an accompanying sauce especially if I know it has sugar in it, I put the sauce jar in a pot of hot water on the stove to heat up, so it goes without being said I don't buy sauces, I usually just make my own and keep them in glass jars.
Interesting, I had not considered the sugar content as a factor when using the microwave.
