I kept burning my food or wait forever for the pan to heat up and I finally understand why. Each knob has a different direction for the Hi and Lo (also why isn’t it Low).

      Also seems mildly infuriating to reach across whatever you are cooking to handle the knobs.

        I nearly burned myself the other day doing this on my stove. Put the damn knobs down on the front!!!

        I can’t decide if I prefer this (my stove is this way) or bumping the knobs with my hips.

          My stove has the front knobs, it’s gas, and it’s been bumped on accidentally more than once and someone else walks into the kitchen and has the horrifying realization that the kitchen smells like gas. I think I prefer the electric stove I had as a kid.

            That’s why modern gas stoves have safety valves. There’s a temp sensor near the burner which automatically shuts the gas off if the burner isn’t lit.
