Can’t a man just love stove?
with extreme caution? yes, hopefully. but still a good chance of no
The Lemonheads - Stove
I know it’s off topic but the stove design looks really weird to me. Why would you design a stove with all the knobs at the very back where they are hard to reach?
Only reason I can think is to prevent kids from touching them
100%. Electric ranges tend to have a lot of safety features built in and/or come with them. They also come with a clamp for the leg of the stove to be slid into so if a child were to climb on the door it wouldn’t tip over.
And pets. I’ve got two fur monsters that like to jump on things when we’re not around to correct, no matter how many times we’ve taught them not to. They won’t do it when we’re home, but as soon as we’re away, counter surfing is the rule of the day, and with front-of-oven knobs on a gas stove we have come home multiple times to a small gas leak. We’ve taken to removing the knobs when it’s not in use, which is fine but annoying. I’d much prefer back-of-oven knobs though.
Or butts at a crowded party.
Or butts at a crowded party.
Or firefighters at headquarters during mealtime. Our kitchen has them on the front and I’ve walked in more than once to a room full of gas because someone hit the dial with their hip/butt and didn’t realize.
Do you live in soviet panel house?
No, why? This would be in the northeastern US.
Even smallest soviet kitchen can hold 5 adults without problems with stove, why would big american kitchens have any problems with stoves?
5 people is not a crowded party. Think more like a college house party you might see in an American movie, although they can get a lot more crowded than that.
Whoa! That’s a lot of people.
The point is electric stoves I know have knobs where you can’t accidentally turn them. The photo isn’t mine, but I had same model and same color:
Knobs there are… stiff? tough? Well, as I said, they require some force and fall into one of marked positions.
Every electric stove I’ve used in my 30 years of life in Canada has had the knobs at the back.

It’s common in America, especially with electric stoves. All gas stoves I’ve seen use the front, though.
This is what I was wondering. (Gas vs Electric) Wires are easy and cheap to route vs gas lines.
I think when they lean over open flame, something in their mind clicks and they think that something is definetly wrong.
So small children can’t reach them.
So gas is 100% for kids to play, but not electric? Ok.
I have not seen a electric convection stove in 10 years. Aren’t they all induction these days?
And my plate top have the controls digitally/touch sensitive area on the top itself
Hub, I’ve yet to live in a house with an induction stove. All electric ones have either been ancient coil ones or glass top convection stoves. Would love to get an induction one someday, though.
Induction requires ferromagnetic pans. Also, they pull a shit ton more power than standard electric why actually heating up the pan (their “efficiency” comes from getting there much faster and then not having to waste as much heat maintaining the temp). So, there are plenty of older buildings that are not wired to be able to handle induction. So, standard electric stoves are still very common.
Think this is an issue with me being Norwegian. Here I have not seen them in ages.I know that we had to put in two of those big plugs for oven and top when we built a new house in 2021. We considers buying and every house we looked at had induction.
To burn your arms of course!
That’s the standard location of stove/oven knobs.
This is a safety feature. US homes use gas in some of thier stove tops and there have been cases where toddlers have turned knobs to release gas into the house and there have been fires associated with pets and toddlers bumping into the knobs.
It looks a bit old fashioned tbh. In Norway it’s all separate tops and ovens. All the tops are induction and the controls are mostly touch sensitive areas on the top itself.
I’ve used both. Think it’s more a style choice than anything.
I was at a house party that caught on fire because someone leaned against the knobs when they were lower in the front and caught something on fire which then caught cabinets on fire and quickly the whole kitchen. I think someone has a box of pizza on there.
Imagine your kid posting silly pictures of your face on the internet, probably without consent.

NGL I plan to be this kind of dad.
I think it’s funny when my kids get a bit embarrassed at my inability to do something. My kids are almost getting to that age where I can amp the cringe to technology.

That man did not stop trying.
He leaned in and is killin’ it.
Classic case of, “I’m not giving up, I’m giving in.”
That’s frickin hilarious lol. I put in a new stove last year and wish I would’ve done this ngl lol
TIL that phones do that thing.
Lol I would ground my son if he posted a pic of me doing derpy shit on the Internet
Look at his age. His child is likely also a grown adult he wouldn’t be able to ground anyway(also likely the reason for the picture; they likely don’t even live one enough for a quick visit).
how do u get a heart front cam feature
Inquiring minds…
So drive to your dad, and show him how to turn it off.
I haven’t laughed this hard at a post in a long time
I think I have the same stove
Save those pictures, one day you will look back on them and they will bring you peace.

…oh, somebody tell me how to turn this on so i can use it for my punch list next week!..
