The wonderful world of home appliances now makes it possible to cook indoors with charcoal and outdoors with gas.
Culinary tradition is not always based on fact. Sometimes it's based on history on habits that come out of a time when kitchens were fueled by charcoal.
Never say never but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
