#Stove

A stove is a kitchen’s self-proclaimed priest of culinary magic, yet in reality offloads the hassle of upkeep and its capricious heat onto the user as a perennial troublemaker. Temperature control serves as a test of patience, and cleaning a never-ending ritual. Its existence is ignored until charred messes or gas leaks force it to demand attention. While it breathes life into pots and pans, it also presents oil splatter and soot as its thoughtful gifts—an overbearing monarch of the kitchen.
