I recently realized it was taking way longer than normal to cook because front right is not doing so good.

I don't love front left, but he's a hard worker.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Front right is the small one, only for coffee and sauce. Front and back left are normal ones, of course front gets way more use than his twin brother.

Back right is practically new, it's bigger than the left twins but smaller than center daddy.

Hol' up, you've got one in the center?

What kind of psychopath uses a back burner as their primary?

People are unironically having kids these days? That's so cringe.

Back have larger burners if you have induction, and kids, no handles accidentally sticking out either even if you don’t have kids.

Somehow I get what you're saying, but the grammar of that sentence is going to give English teachers a stroke.

It reduces the risk of hitting a handle and having things fly off the stove.

Jeezes man get yourself together

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

They did; they started using the back burner

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Stir with the right, hold the pan with the left, and stop the kids from pulling hot food on their heads.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (5 children)

You have a "primary" spot? Different sizes for different sized pots and pans, bro. (Induction hob.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Different sizes for different sized pots and pans

Well yeah, but I also have a favourite pan

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Depends what I'm making. Right tool for the job. Omelette, small pan; Bolognese, huge cast iron pot, etc.

But obviously a lot of times the amount of food that needs to be made is usually the same with the same amount of people eating in my family. So some hob spots will be more worn than others, just like any stove/hob. 👍

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

i usually just scale the size of what im cooking so that it fits in my favorite pan. if i want to make an omelette, then ill use as many eggs as it takes to fill up the pan.

Pot of peas? BOIL 2 KG OF PEAS.

Those whose front burners are of the smaller variety, sadly no option to swap them without tearing down the whole kitchen.

My front right burner has only two temperatures: off and hotter than the surface of the sun!!!!! Therefore it is relegated to boiling water and pasta cooking duties.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I used to have an old electric stove that you had to turn on before you even started to chop vegetables, but then you could turn it off and it would stay at the melting point of tungsten for an hour.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Those are so fun. My roommates used to make fun of me because one time I forgot it was still hot and melted the lid from a plastic storage bowl. :/

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you leave it on too long it starts to melt the frying pan lol

ITT: No one cleans their burners

One time I cleaned a burner and broke it somehow.

FYI, if you have an electric coil stove the elements wear out over time but they're super easy to replace - you basically just unplug it and plug in a new one and they're pretty cheap, you can get a set of 4 for US$35.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I just replaced my front right coil and I still have issues with uneven heating, so while it's true they wear out, it is not always the problem.

First boisterous laugh of the day. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I accidentally left the kettle going at full-power for 6 hours after all the water evaporated once and it hasn't been the same since...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

We use 3 of our stove burners, and never touch the other. So for me, I guess one of mine is very lonely.

What movie is this meme from?

[–] Bansker 9 points 7 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but i believe it's from The Green Mile. Good movie, if you want to feel the feels.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

The green mile (1999)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

The green mile, I think
