What’s your favorite burner on your stove, and why is it the front right burner?

Love front right burner. I had an apartment oven once where the front right burner didn't work. Terrible, dark days.

I go left side front burner. But I’m a lefty, so I use my right hand on the pan handle and my left for a utensil and grabbing stuff from the counter. Works for me.

I used to use front right burner but now I have switched teams to back right burner I think I just wanted my pan/pot farther from me when I fried and now I just use that burner for everything out of habit

I've started using back right a lot lately, but my cook top is on an island and I can reach that from the far side.

I have a lovely electric cooktop so the burners are different sizes and I just decide which one use based on the pot/pan I'm using.

Front right is a big strong alpha Chad burner. The rest is a weak beta cucktop that I will only use if I have to.

My front right is a wok burner, so it's great, but also not for everything. Front left is a small one, suitable for simmering - I used to wonder why they put the little one at the front, but I suppose it's because its the one you'd use for making sauces and other things you have to watch carefully. The two back rings are medium-sized, good for most uses.

My centre burner (wok) hasn’t worked for ages. Back right is a large burner (is good); back L and front R medium; front L small. The R burners are my faves. We are renovating soon. Induction, here we come!

Anne Whateley posted:My little one is in the back and it's incredibly annoying. At least one of the front burners should be little, because things you want low heat for, you also want to look at and react to quickly, like eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese. Put the huge ones in the back where they can boil water or simmer a huge pot of soup with no attention needed Agreed.

I have a long center burner I thought would be perfect for my griddle but in practice only heats the middle of it. Anyhow, it stopped igniting, and I have to use a barbecue lighter if I want to use it. Which I don't. I just want it gone.

I always open the patio door and run a window fan there when I cook on the stove Mainly for the smell. Good to know it’s good for my health too!

On my stove, the front left is actually the hottest burner. Very confusing.

therattle posted:Yes, I read something similar and that was a big factor in wanting to change. The last time I read a similar study it was very clear that venting makes a big difference. Your indoor air quality with natural gas and a real vented to the outside vent is fine. Loads of people use gas indoors with zero ventilation which is bad, or with those microwave vents that “filter” the air and fire it right back at you.

Not sure how residents can test it, but even stoves which are off can leak methane and benzene which is fun. Probably worth sniffing around your cabinet under your stove to see if you can smell rotten eggs. The study was small sample size, and also by an org with an agenda, though that doesn't automatically mean it's wrong.

Saw this on sale at Kroger so I grabbed a couple. Man, talk about a cheap, easy and delicious dinner. I think I was $10 all in after getting some vegetables and chicken thighs, it cooked up in like 30 minutes, makes a ton and tastes great.

Corn, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, squash, sweet potato, cabbage, whatever. Just use about 3.5-4 pounds of veg and 1 pound of meat for a 12 serving box of curry

What I miss is working in a grocery store pizza shop that adjoined the Chinese food section. They had literal hundreds of little cans of Thai curry paste, and they sure as gently caress didn't notice a few taking a trip to my kitchen at home every week

EDIT: The hob is not level, it's dished in slightly in the middle. It doesn't matter for larger volumes but a thin layer of liquid such as the tablespoon of oil in the pan will end up as a puddle closest to the middle of the hob. I have developed a habit of rotating the frying pan 180 degrees every so often, in the hopes of lubing the dry side. therattle posted:We are renovating soon. Induction, here we come!

so word on the street (twitter) is that Trader Joe’s is still selling eggs for $3-4 and that most of the price increases are actually just using avian flu as an excuse to price gouge
