Interesting! I wonder why they make it like it. Maybe because it's easier to light it at first with more power/flames? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-i-have-to-turn-up-my-stove-burners-in-order-to-turn-them-off#post-665715 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:37:57 +0000 .twist. 665715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a gas stove but I still have to go higher to turn anything off. So bizarre and I've totally wondered why this is as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-i-have-to-turn-up-my-stove-burners-in-order-to-turn-them-off#post-665707 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:35:02 +0000 mrbee 665707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I turn the knob on my (gas) stove burners, it goes straight from LITE to 10 (the highest flame).</p> <p>The other day, the olive oil I was cooking on caught on fire... and in order to shut off the flame, I had to increase the flame until I passed 10 and got to OFF. That seems a bit crazy to me! I get that it's a bit more convenient when you want a hot flame, but it also seems quite a bit more dangerous...</p> <p>When you turn off your gas stove burners, is the OFF setting above 10 or below 0 on the knob? Just wondering if all stoves are like this! </p>
