Front right is for the kettle. I choose front left for most cooking.

gluenotsoup · 27/10/2021 11:49

Middle!

FOJN · 27/10/2021 11:51

Front right most of the time.

I wonder if, as well as burner size, the choice also depends on which burner is closest to the food prep area?

TOP RIGHT HAHA

Pikamoo · 27/10/2021 12:13

Depends what I'm cooking as we've only got three - one big, one medium and one small. The hob is induction so it's better to match the pan to the hob.

@longtompot waves at another hob kettle user , we are a dying breed .

Front right most of the time , back right for kettle and small pans .
My worktop is on the right so it makes more sense to use them .

Rear left.

@AlCalavicci waves back

We bought ours as we were spending so much on our electric one, it just made sense to have a gas stove top one. I love it but it does drive me mad when people (dh) put it on and then go to the loo or something, and aren't around to switch it off and it screams it's little whistle off. More than makes up for when the whistle hasn't been put on tight enough and it pops off Grin It makes us all laugh for some reason.

This had shocked up both, she is front right and I always use the rear left for the ‘main pan’ so their big frying pan or the steamer, then rear right, then front left for the little pan usually for sauces! front right barely gets touched here!

Front left. It's a larger ring and heats up very quickly.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 27/10/2021 16:00

Front left to start, then move to rear left it it needs longer cooking.

Hesma · 27/10/2021 21:59

Front left and it’s not my biggest burner. I rarely use the two on the right

DramaAlpaca · 27/10/2021 22:00

Rear left. It's a gas hob and it's one of the middle sized ones.

EekGoesTheBaby · 27/10/2021 22:07

I'm shocked too! I thought this would be mostly "front right" (the obvious correct choice).

Practicebeingpatient · 27/10/2021 22:15

We have 6 burners. I like the medium one in the middle at the front. Of the two wok burners I only ever use the front right hand side.

The small burner on the back left hand side only ever gets used for keeping gravy warm.

Crunchymum · 27/10/2021 22:20

Front left is my smallest hob. Front right is my biggest.

Do I have a weird cooker? Confused

DontGiveAFlyingFig · 27/10/2021 22:20

Front right, for heating up beans, peas and scrambled egg

Rear right for white/cheese sauce and the steamer pan

Middle for stir fry, sausages & bacon

Rear left for pasta

Front left, rarely used, no idea why

I am now wondering why I never use the front left, maybe that pondering will help me sleep tonight - interesting thread OP Wink

CeeceeBloomingdale · 27/10/2021 22:22

Back left, it's a corker

Duchess379 · 27/10/2021 23:14

I must be a weirdo because I use the front two burners. Depending if I'm frying something, then I use the bigger burner, or if I'm just heating beans/spaggetti I use the smaller one. 🤷🏼‍♀️
