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?
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?
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.
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 on it 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!
Break the gad one so it looks like it failed on its own. Then convince the landlord that longterm the induction is better and he should install that. You can get them for quite cheap nowadays.
He’s got standard models he buys to replace everything so that all of his apartments have the same appliances. I’ve tried to get him to upgrade when he’s replaced dishwashers and washing machines, no dice. He’s usually got an appliance on deck ready to go to replace the next one that dies in one of his units. Which honestly is more prepared than any other landlord I’ve met so hard to complain, but even harder to get him to upgrade.
I’ve got a home purchase in my near future, that’s the real solution to this problem.
Yeah props for preparedness but yeah that sucks. Convince him to start stocking new stuff so it slowly gets replaced
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.

Yeah that is what I meant. Lack of knobs can be annoying but it’s so much easier to clean.
Luv me 'duction 'ob. Ate tuchscreen. Simple as.
Front right!
I just bought a new range, and I will admit that I actually created a digital model of the candidates and evaluated which range layout was superior via Monte Carlo simulation of pot placement and BTU based heating times.
There was a Bosh I really wanted, but the centre burner was the strongest element and that layout was overall less effective when combined with a 12” cast iron, meaning one of the two had to be on a lower power burner. If I want to make pork chops in my skillet, a delicious fettuccini in a pot, a cream based sauce in my saucier pan, and cook up some French beans in a fry pan, the Bosh would have taken like 30% longer to prepare due to the boiling time of the water (I no longer remember the exact times).
Bosh please rethink your 30” gas range centre burner layout. It is most efficient for soup making or meat searing, but soup making is very rarely constrained by heating time (low and slow wins) and searing meat is usually accompanied by sides, so the smaller edge burners are less effective.
Front-right rules …… because that’s the big one, with MOAH POWAH!!!
Paranoid parent gang uses the rear burners for safety!!
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?
Dont mess with this kid
Definitely growing up to be a cop.
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
Burnt child flees fire, as we say in sweden (bränt barn skyr elden).
Hell yes! Back left gang! Stops any fat splashes if you’re frying, too. Love my back left burner.
‘Rotate to a different burner each time’ crew assemble, handles in
My kitchen setup favours front right. The sacred triangle is best served by it.
Blasphemous tripe! front right is better and you can never change my mind!
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!
Quality shitpost for once. I need to fight by your side.
Agreed, my combustion compatriot.
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.
Liquid collection area??
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.
Where all the juices slorp off to so chef can have a little lap-lap-lap if they’re getting a bit tired.
I had that same stove at a rental and almost signed another year just for that dope ass stove LMAO love the center griddle
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.
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.
My cat likes to chill right of the stove. Damn right I prefer left mow; it only takes a little burnt tail to get you to stop using the right altogether. (He’s ok btw, cat fur is weirdly fire retardant.)
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 SUPREMACY!!!
always!
Complete insanity, see me on the front right
I thought I hated the stove at my new place because it’s a glass top, but I found out it has inductive coils and the front left burner has a small and wide setting. My front left burner beats ass.
Mine has 4 large induction ‘burners’ that automatically adapt to the size of the pan. It also has physical knobs on the front of the cabinet so no touch-screen controls that suck and take up space, leaving more space for the burners. It’s frikkin awesome. I can fit 4 large pots on there no problem.
I used to have a 5 burner gas stove but you could only realistically fit 3 pots on there and that was if there was at least a small one so this is a huge upgrade.
