Front left or centre. Depends on size of pan😁

ivfbabymomma1 · 27/10/2021 10:06

Rear right!!! Always! the other 3 only get used during a roast dinner 😂

sharonelizabeth · 27/10/2021 10:07

Front left.

Cuntness · 27/10/2021 10:07

Definitely front left.

mountbattenbergcake · 27/10/2021 10:11

Too many variables. Depends on how many burners you have and the size.

With current cooker, top left.

Coogee · 27/10/2021 10:17

I don’t have a favourite, it depends on the size of the pan and what I am doing with it.

Threewheeler1 · 27/10/2021 10:19

Another front left. There's a spooky pattern emerging Grin

More likely the front left is the biggest burner Grin

Front left

moonlight1705 · 27/10/2021 10:30

I've got 7 burners Smile so front right because it is nearly the biggest. Then back right as I tend to keep my baking trays over the left hand side.

JustJoinedRightNow · 27/10/2021 10:35

Rear right, 100%!!!

I do this because it felt safer with my kids around (not that they would be near the stove but in my mind it’s safer) - furthest away from the front of the stove so if for some reason some little hand reached up they wouldn’t be able to grab it.

But as I said, they wouldn’t be anywhere near it so it’s a bit of a moot point (cow’s opinion). Grin

Always rear burners due to toddler DS and my paranoia of him pulling a pan down even when I turn the handles in Shock. We do have a wok type burner which is my favourite in the middle.

ancientgran · 27/10/2021 10:37

Front left or right depending on size of the pan, one is the largest burner and one is the smallest.

User2638483 · 27/10/2021 10:44

Front left deffo

Bigassbeebuzzbuzz · 27/10/2021 10:53

Back right. its bugger than back left and makes sure dc cant grab handles or I cant knock anything off.

SayMumOneMoreTime · 27/10/2021 11:12

Back right for normal sized pans, front right for small pans or slow simmer. Front left for big frying pan and back left for when back right is in use (same size). I have NEVER used the middle wok one! Has anyone used theirs? Do you recommend it? 😂

Cryalot2 · 27/10/2021 11:19

Rear left, which some others in house also prefer. Followed by rear right.

AuntyMabelandPippin · 27/10/2021 11:22

Judging by the state of my cooker that I'm about to clean, the back left is the one used the most, although the back right is the same size.

However, that's by my DH for his porridge every morning. I prefer the front left, as it's the biggest burner.

MintyGreenDream · 27/10/2021 11:22

Front left

TheChiefJo · 27/10/2021 11:24

Another front left here. A popular choice.

leli · 27/10/2021 11:25

Front left or rear right

QuestionableMouse · 27/10/2021 11:26

Front left! The front right one is tiny and takes forever to heat anything up.

LemonKitten · 27/10/2021 11:26

Rear left because it's the biggest

Outnumbered99 · 27/10/2021 11:27

Read right, of the middle. My teeth itch if someone uses either of the left ones unless absolutely necessary.

reading this back I think I might need help

hiredandsqueak · 27/10/2021 11:27

front right
