I take the same approach to software development. Why waste time debugging when you can simply not write any bugs in the first place? Mystified how nobody else ever thought of this before.
I mean yeah it is an option but wearing special clothes for the splashes doesn't seem as necessary when you can just do a simple thing to avoid the splashes
I'm with the others here, back left is great for just getting some shit boiling out of the way, or simmering for a while. Back right is the tiny useless little fucker that gets no play until Thanksgiving.

Back left is king for simmering a sauce

On many modern ranges it is literally described as a simmer burner.

What's crazy is this is exactly how I do it too... Front right for noods, back left for Sauce

I use back left for basically everything. Keeps hot things away from curious kids. Back left gang!

It's even more natural to handle when you have arms long enough, plus the angle of the handle doesn't make it dangle.

Please don't stone me, but I mean it's good when you just want to put something on boil for several hours.

Np I think this thread is for the hotdogs+ramen crowd maybe?

What? I always default to the back ones since the splatter won't reach my clothes as easily from there
HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club · 4 pts · 294d
I also use the back ones since it is low likely that I'll hit a handle and have hot food flying about.

Do aprons just not exist any more?
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 295d
I don't know anyone that actually uses one to be honest

There are dozens of us!

Making Aprons is easier than adding as many pockets to everything.
Might come back as we get out of gambler-designed slave-made garment supply chain.

I use them when naked grilling because I don't want hot grease burning my nuts.

Reasonable answer

Why wear special clothing to avoid the splatter when you can just not get splatter on you

My friend, you can just put the pan in the back burner lol
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 294d
I can also wear an apron

An apron is a very simple item that simply goes over the clothes and secures with a single, simple tie

I mean if you replace "not write bugs" with "write tests", this becomes a good metaphor

Yeah. Back left is the only burned in the right size for my pasta pot. Back right is a copy of front left and thus uniquely useless.
Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 295d
Back right only gets used during canning season in our house.
Creat@discuss.tchncs.de · 8 pts · 295d
Back left is the second most used one in our house, cause it's the 2nd largest. No idea how universal that is...
galmuth@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 295d
Is this an American thing? On my gas stove, the front left is rapid boil, front right is simmer, and the back two are normal.
SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 295d
depends on the model of stove
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 2 pts · 295d
I use that one specifically for sauces/gravy.
Fizz@lemmy.nz · 1 pts · 293d
All my elements are broken except back left.

The size should be appropriate for the vessel. Things in the front require constant attention while the rear takes care of itself.
