Octostove
more burners for your stovetop! and big pans. | |
A traditional stovetop has a certain number of burners, and they can't be moved. This creates problems for people with large pots, or long-handled pans, or limited stove-top space.
I propose a stove with six or more burners all packed together on extendible arms. When you want to use a burner, you
extend it. The arms could be moved to different heights and positions so the cook can decide what should be on the front burner.
Bonus: New kinds of pans that can be heated from multiple angles.
Bonus 2: If the stove is electric, you can put on a cover and put it in your sink to heat large amounts of water.
Bonus 3: If one has a very long arm, it can be put on the floor and used to heat a cauldron.
Bonus 4: Use the long-armed burner on very low heat as a foot warmer.
Bonus 5: Point a burner or two into the room and add a reflector: electric space heater.

This could be very nice in an industrial-chic sort of way. |

+ I must vote for this as I just had a dream that someone was roasting a pig on a grill-like burner that extended off the kitchen counter. (was that you in my dream?) |
|
| |
wow. You could rotisserie a turkey, too. |
|

Excellent idea. My homebrewing kettle is too large for one burner, but the spacing of my electric stove burners only allows me to get it on one-and-a-half burners. |

[xandram] (whom I daily confuse with [xenzag] - one of you change your name or something, would you?) |
|
| |
Gives a whole new meaning to having a [Voice] in your head, doesn't it? |
|
| |
Let's all change our names to [globaltourniquet]. That way nobody will be confused. |
|
| |
hmm, which came first, The [Voice] or the [globaltouniquet]?
btw, if you knew us, I am a woman and [xenzag] is a man! |

[+] I can't begin to tell you how many times I need more room than the one big burner provides. Bonus 5 is already baked in many US urban low-income communities. Rather than pointing the burner they just open the oven door. |

[wagster] could identify himself in Jeeb-Ponk-Fwee. |

Your names backwards sound like a pair of characters in a Cartoon Network cartoon: "Mardnax and Gaznex" |

Wiccans would go crazy for one of these. |
