    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 because of this hidden discrepancy at least once. We do not use the front left burner.

          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.

        But induction also leaves you no choice on burner supremacy. Why do they all have weird non-grid burner arrangements and only one large burner?

        My front-right is supreme because it’s the only large one. Even if I secretly joined the front-left ascendancy

        And that tiny summer burner behind it is unusable because the tiny pot would disappear behind the larger one

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

        yes. i realized that after doing my breakfast. I assume it is because that burner tends to be the most appropriate due to its size

        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’ve lived in enough places, with enough different kitchens and stoves, that it really depends on the layout. Some stoves have bigger burners on the right or the left (whether electric or gas). Some have the stove too close on one side to an inconvenient wall or the outlet you have a countertop appliance plugged into, and that determines preference.

      I prefer the center, on my current setup. It’s tied for the biggest burner with front right, but the center gets the best ventilation, I like for the handles not to hang over the edge, and I use either hand to hold the handle (flip with my right, or stir with my right while holding with my left). Two handled pots benefit from the symmetry, too.

      But that’s my current setup. I’ve had preferences for different sides with different stoves.

      I prefer left burner as a right handed person. Not too sure why. Maybe because I lift pans with my left hand typically, so the handle is over the counter instead of the rest of the stove.

    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.

    If only it was the big element on my stove ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა

    I use the front left for single meals and the front right (big element) for meal prep
