The stove is one of the vital appliances in the kitchen, functioning as a tool for cooking and preparing various dishes. Its existence is very essential in everyday life. Various types of stoves available, ranging from gas stoves, electric, to induction, can be the right choice that can affect efficiency and comfort in cooking.
Usually the stove placed in the kitchen is the main area for cooking. However, it should be noted that the placement of the stove in the kitchen is not only about aesthetics, but also has a major impact on the quality and performance of cooking.
A stove that is strategically placed can facilitate access and movement while cooking, and ensure good airflow to avoid the buildup of smoke and heat. For example, placing the stove near a window or under a kitchen vent can help reduce smoke and odors produced during the cooking process, keeping the kitchen fresh and comfortable.
In addition, proper placement is also closely related to the safety aspect. Nowadays, many people put gas stoves directly against the wall. In fact, this condition can cause risks and be dangerous.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube BERBAGI DUNIA on Sunday (6/10), placing the stove too close to the wall can cause a fire, especially if the wall is made of wood. According to him, wood is an object that is easily flammable. If exposed to heat from the stove continuously, it is very possible that the walls of the house will become hot and catch fire.

On the other hand, there are other significant impacts caused by placing the stove too close to the wall. The narrow distance between the stove and the wall can cause the accumulation of oil and dirt on the wall surface, which is difficult to clean and can cause permanent stains and unpleasant odors. In terms of comfort, limited space makes movement while cooking more difficult and risks spilling food or causing other accidents.

In addition, lack of good air circulation can worsen kitchen ventilation, causing smoke and heat to accumulate, which ultimately disrupts the health and comfort of the occupants of the house. Therefore, maintaining a safe distance between the stove and the wall is very important to ensure safety, cleanliness, and comfort in the kitchen. On the other hand, the area around the stove must also be sterile from flammable objects. Starting from kitchen towels and used cooking oil must be kept away from the stove to minimize the risk of fire. In addition, cooking splashes that pool around the stove must also be cleaned.
