    Shit! Came home from shopping to a house reeking of gas. Cats fine. That was way too close.

          It’s none of my biz and I hope I’m not being intrusive… but would it be an option to buy an electric hotplate and/or an electric frying pan that can switch off at the wall rather than use the stove?

          And maybe buy a portable ‘travel’ carbon monoxide detector?

          The idea of no safety valve on a gas stove is just haunting me.

          (For context I still get para about mine with safety features and freak if I bump the dials. And I’ve had to handle an undetected gas leak before)

            Thank you for your concern. I do already own a plug in induction plate. This was total human clumsiness, and not bad enough to set off the detectors, just our noses.
