The front right is tiny and weak. My soup merely laughs at the thought, however front left is sacred and all consuming. Shall I simply warm or buuuuuuuuuuuurn.
Front left determines thy fate.
FRONT RIGHT SUPREMACY!!!
always!
I have a really old school stove, it only has front left, front right and back right, but front left is also the smallest burner so it’s useless for anything other than single meals or heating up small amounts.
Nope, not me. The knob for my front left burner (Electric stovetop) inexplicably has to be pressed in after being brought back to zero to actually turn off. It doesn’t have to be pressed in to turn on, and none of the knobs for the other burners have to be pressed for anything, just the front left one to turn it off. Literally everyone in the house has burned themselves because of this hidden discrepancy at least once. We do not use the front left burner.
The front left burner has rejected you and your heretic family
Upgrade to an induction stovetop and the issue disappears.
I’ll tell my landlord to get right on that!
Mostly because induction stove tops, except at the most expensive price point, don’t have knobs, only touch panels. Also, they usually turn themselves off if they don’t detect something they can induce a current in. But really though, despite the lack of knobs, I love my induction range and would never willingly go back to conventional or gas for my kitchen.
Luv me 'duction 'ob. Ate tuchscreen. Simple as.
Also, they usually turn themselves off if they don’t detect something they can induce a current in
Yeah that is what I meant. Lack of knobs can be annoying but it’s so much easier to clean.
I use front right. It is the superior side.
Front right all the way! Probably my preference because I’m left-handed, but also my front left burner doesn’t even work.
My front right is the smallest one so it never gets used because it’s useless. Unless you are just trying to keep something warm then it can work
Dont say words you cant take back
sorry, bud. that’s the high power position on my stove
I’m not happy with it, either. but it’s what it is.
if it makes you feel any better, the front left is the large diameter position. similar power but not packed as densely, so doesn’t work on a 10" pan
We’ll let this slide
My partner is neurospicy and uses the front left.
I didn’t really care about which burner until I saw their range, and they’re quite oddly shaped.
Front right is just massive, back right is tiny, front left is normal and then back left is some weird in-between the normal and giant front right fob.
I have absolutely no idea who designed that stove, maybe it was data mined or something
But needless to say, the front left it was
Complete insanity, see me on the front right
Blasphemous tripe! front right is better and you can never change my mind!
Quality shitpost for once. I need to fight by your side.
My front left is a simmer burner, while my front right is a quickboil. Of those, right quickboil wins for sure.
However, my long middle burner is for a cast iron griddle, so I can make grilled cheese and pancakes without a pan. That burner wins, hands down.
Edit: looks almost just like this one, but mine isnt a GE, and my griddle has a liquid collection area on one side.
I had that same stove at a rental and almost signed another year just for that dope ass stove LMAO love the center griddle
Liquid collection area??
Where all the juices slorp off to so chef can have a little lap-lap-lap if they’re getting a bit tired.
Yeah like a small depression for grease or liquids that seep from whatever you cook, so it doesn’t drip off the side or pool under your food and ruin the texture.
Yeah they put quick boil on my right. Easy win. My left I’ve noticed takes a lot more time to get to temp
Front Right is King, it’s where The Pan lives. The Pan is the heart of the meal. I am The Man I Am because of The Pan!
Agreed, my combustion compatriot.
You can have my spatula.
And my tongs!
And my mini meat axe!
You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the comment chain, then the fediverse will see it done.
I find it curious this is the case. I always assumed i like left front burner because i’m left handed. but why wouldn’t right handed people prefer the right hand burner? do you leave the handle crossing through the whole thing?
I’ve lived in enough places, with enough different kitchens and stoves, that it really depends on the layout. Some stoves have bigger burners on the right or the left (whether electric or gas). Some have the stove too close on one side to an inconvenient wall or the outlet you have a countertop appliance plugged into, and that determines preference.
I prefer the center, on my current setup. It’s tied for the biggest burner with front right, but the center gets the best ventilation, I like for the handles not to hang over the edge, and I use either hand to hold the handle (flip with my right, or stir with my right while holding with my left). Two handled pots benefit from the symmetry, too.
But that’s my current setup. I’ve had preferences for different sides with different stoves.
Hold the pan with the left hand (handle on the left) and do the precise work (moving and flipping stuff) with the right hand. Why would a left handed person prefer the left burner?
yes. i realized that after doing my breakfast. I assume it is because that burner tends to be the most appropriate due to its size
for me it’s because the front right burner is smaller and i don’t want to have to reach to the back burner
I was about to do my breakfast and realize I do grab the pan with my right hand and it’s me that leaves the handle crossing through the stove.
I prefer left burner as a right handed person. Not too sure why. Maybe because I lift pans with my left hand typically, so the handle is over the counter instead of the rest of the stove.
Back right burner so the steam and fumes have more of a chance to get whooshed into the extractor fan
With those puny rear burners?!
Front right you fucking small time chump.
Tbf I only say this because my shitty apartment stove only has one large burner and it’s the front right.
Our stove functionally has 2 ( front right and back left ) but back left is inconvenient if we ain’t just putting something on to sit on its own. So we basically only have one in my eyes. So much more work to use it thanks to the oven controlls that I’ll often switch to using front left despite it being too small for the pot/pan.
Take the small one and save energy (if not frying). It doesnt take much longer and the pot uses the energy more efficiently Edit: nm dont do that if the water is not yet boiling
It in fact takes 2-3 times longer to get the water boiling in the pot on the smaller one for me. Rather change out the gas container a bit more often. Though I’m planning to just remodel the kitchen to get rid of the gas now and go induction. The gas range is slightly newer, but the furniture is 40 years old so I’d rather go new and integrated.
Correct choice. I duction is just the best.
Nice, induction
Your math isn’t mathing.
If the burner sticks out from under the pot that’s a bunch of heat going not into the pot.
Sure, but what’s that got to do with this discussion, where no one mentioned doing that?
Yeah my comment was random and while im thinking through it… i didnt take the waste heat at the pot surface area over the longer time into account so im also wrong But use the small one when the liquid is already cooking :)
If only it was the big element on my stove ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა
I use the front left for single meals and the front right (big element) for meal prep
Paranoid parent gang uses the rear burners for safety!!
Hell yes! Back left gang! Stops any fat splashes if you’re frying, too. Love my back left burner.
Dont make this a turf war
Kids learn real quick when they mess with the stove. If you hide it from them, how will they ever learn?
Burnt child flees fire, as we say in sweden (bränt barn skyr elden).
I loled, but also a child learning that things on the stove are hot after you tell them this and they don’t believe you is different from intentional violence against them
Dont mess with this kid
Definitely growing up to be a cop.
get electrical, motherfucker
Why cook at all if you’re going to willingly give up the pleasure of using fire the way our ancestors did since before they were even human? You might as well just suck nutritive slurry from a nozzle.
My parents, grandparents, and maybe my great grandparents used gas. All my other ancestors used wood. I cook with the power of science on my induction range because I’d rather not drown in carcinogens in my own home for the sake of boiling a pot of water and I’m not a fucking troglodyte.
I am using fire. The fire of a raging ball of plasma millions of miles wide, so hot that it evaporates surface water here on Earth, sending rains falling inland that coalesce into a mighty river flowing through massive turbines to turn the generators that power my stovetop.
using fire the way our ancestors did
Motherfucker, your ancestors didn’t have natural gas lines that could be ignited with the flick of a switch.
If you want to use fire the way our ancestors did, you need to start by going outside, digging a hole, and then gathering firewood. If you’re not doing that, then fuck off with this ‘ancestors’ bullshit.
I do it like the real gangsters and burn dried cow poop to cook over
Electrical is both inferior and superior to gas, depending on the application. To each their own according to preference, but for me it’s induction -> gas -> halogen -> resistive coils
Front left is for the frying pans (stir fries and saucy stuff).
Front right is for the small pots (rice, noodles).
Back right is for the large pots (stews, soups).
And back left is to put down the lids while cooking.
This is my method. This guy cooks.
🙏praise be the lord almighty
