    my front left burner is the small one, which i need less. in reality, everyone just prefers the largest front burner on whatever range they currently have. that’s it. that’s all it is.

    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.

      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.

            I know, I want it so bad already. I have a tiny portable induction stove so when I ran out of gas recently I started using that and the oldschool electric “burner” on my gas stove and it’s been fine, I couldn’t handle more than two hobs at the same time, but the induction literally feels faster even than the big burner on the gas, whereas the normal electric one is agonizingly slow to get things hot.

            I also have a house built in the 1980s. In the former Soviet Union. Building code wasn’t really a thing for single family homes, so obviously we don’t have a hood. Or even anywhere to connect the hood so it could vent outside. Meaning I’ve been inhaling big beautiful CO2 for all my life from the gas, but also I’m thinking if I get rid of the gas then perhaps I could get by with a ventless hood, otherwise I’ll have to drill a hole in the wall to get a proper vented hood.

              I currebtly reside in a yugoslavian 1960s built house so yeah I get you. Except it does have a hole for the hold it just is not cpnnected because the apartment owner decided to put the stove in a different spot when renovating the kitchen…

              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 :)

      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.

        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

      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

      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

    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.

      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.

        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 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.

        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.

      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
