Some gas stoves require electricity to continue operating due to electric safety sensors that shut the stove gas off if the flame goes out. They too would be useless in a power outage because the valves would not open. So it’s not just electric stoves that would be out of luck.

If you have room to store one, a used camp stove and gas cylinder are fine for basics. No need to buy a fancy new one. Or even a gas bbq grill.

    Don't forget about the electric ventilation being out if theres a power outage. You don't want to cook with a gas stove indoors with that off.

    Regulations in my country require that the ventilation doesn't rely on any device, it must be some hatch you can't close. I'm pretty sure it's the same elsewhere in the world, it's too dangerous otherwise.
