    It’s always just which ever is the biggest. They need to have two big ones the same size.

    Science needs to resolve this question for both gas and electric. Is bigger always better? Or is it like how things thaw slower in hot water?

    EDIT: my oven is electric guys, so I think I can go small pot, on BIG burner. But is that better? Probably.

      depends on target temperature, and how much gradient from internal to external temperature is acceptable. high heat will cook the outside much faster than the inside, which is fine for something like rare steak with a seared outside and relatively low core temp, but cooking chicken the same way will have the outside completely dry and charred by the time the core gets where it needs to be. lower heat gives more time for heat to spread all the way through, so the difference between core temp and surface temp is less

    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 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 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.

    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.

    My stove is just a platform for my 2 burner induction hotplate. Way more efficient and faster than the radiative heat burners on the stove, though I’ll use then occasionally for large pots or stone bowls.

    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.)
