No, gas ovens are not any less safe than electric ovens. Each comes with their own lists of pros and cons. A sales associate at any appliance store can be most helpful in determining our needs.

Both electric and gas stoves have risks involved. But gas stoves appear to have more risks. Things like carbon monoxide which is deadly, and the risk of gas leaks in your home. If you own a gas stove you have to take many safety precautions that electric stove owners don't have to take.

A gas oven is more of a fire risk because of the open flame. If anything flamable comes into contact with the flame it can ignite causing a fire. Electric ovens can cause fires too but not as easily as gas.

No electric cooktops are far safer. Gas can harm young children if inhaled, and is far more flammbale than the more modern electric cooktops. They are safer and easier to use/clean.

It is not necessarily easier to cook on a gas range. The main advantage over an electric range is that the cooking temperature is reached much more rapidly.

Yes induction cook tops are safer than other types of tops. They stay on longer and tighter.
