I really think the significance is overrated. I have cooked on  
electric, propane camp stove, gas, open fire, inductive, college dorm  
burners, and so on. You learn your equipment and make it work. (Though  
those college hot plates do kind of suck, I admit. Still, you can make  
it work with practice.)

Electric ovens do have some benefits over gas, but you can even out  
gas oven temp with buck-25 terra cotta paving tiles. There are in fact  
tiles in the NB oven when I bought and placed there, just to make the  
baking easier.

In short if I have anything that even vaguely resembles an oven, I  
will try to bake in it.
