    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?

      Every electric stove I’ve used in my 30 years of life in Canada has had the knobs at the back.

        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

            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.

          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.

      It’s common in America, especially with electric stoves. All gas stoves I’ve seen use the front, though.

          I think when they lean over open flame, something in their mind clicks and they think that something is definetly wrong.

        • I’ve never known a modern stove to have the controls anywhere else, and I’ve never really considered reaching over a pot or pan to turn the thing off. Most of the time, I’ll take the pot or pan off the stove first so it doesn’t burn. And if I am simply turning down the heat to go from boiling to simmering, I go around not over.

          I can totally see where you’re coming from tho. I grew up with this style; I’ve been tempered by the grease and steam of experience lol

            That’s really odd. I had never seen a stove with controls over and behind the hobs like this until today. If you just google “Stove” then 90% of the images are with the dials on the front, both home and commercial ranges. I don’t think it’s the norm to have controls positioned potentially hidden by superheated objects and seems like something that could even fall afoul of safety laws in the EU.

              Try searching for “electric stove” and you’ll see that 95% figure swap the other direction. I’m in the US and probably 95% of the stoves I’ve seen have the controls in the back like this one.

              I’m guessing gas ranges are more common in the EU and more commonly have front controls but they aren’t as common in the US. Our house has natural gas but only for the fireplace and furnace. The stove is electric. Of all the people I know, I think only one has a gas stove in their home.

                I’ve only had electric stoves everywhere I’ve lived for the past 20 years of my adult life across various EU countries, along with every friend, family or airbnb I’ve stayed at. I didn’t even know the controls could be positioned back there! It seems wild to me that could ever be the norm.

              That’s probably it. There’s probably some EU law somewhere that says that this obviously dangerous design is dangerous and you can’t have it, and then the US is like, we don’t care about our citizens anyway, go right ahead.

                Different views of dangerous—knobs in front are more easily turned on by children. So they both have their risks.

                  That’s why most off them have to be “unlocked” first. Usually they need to be pushed inwards for a second and then they jjmp out and can be turned. It’s realy just a regional thing between US and EU

      What, you don’t like your arm being incinerated when you go to turn the heat off?

      What’s wrong with you, that’s the best bit.

      To make them harder to reach so that you (or a child) don’t accidentally turn one of the burners on when you don’t intend to use it.

      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.

      Glad it’s not just me, I’ve always thought this too. Surely you have to put your arms over the hot stuff?

      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 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.

      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).
