    “Do we like this?”

    That’s the biggest cant-think-for-myself red flag I’ve ever heard.

      I mean, asking for others opinions is a pretty normal and social behavioral thing to do… No?

      Things I like I find others tend not to, so if I’m making something to appeal to others and not myself, I ask what they like.

      Ofc this example of a picture hung over a stove is… Asinine, but my point still stands in response to your statement.

    You mean this AI generated slop? No, can’t say I care for it. Even if it were real, no handles on the smaller oven doors, fire hazard oil painting (that would be FILTHY the first time you boiled a sauce/soup) over a gas stove, no vent hood or overhead light… no thank you.

      Lol ovens like this existed.

      My parents literally have one of them right now in their kitchen.

      They are less than ideal for sure.

      This is definitely AI but similar ovens used to be built and, I’m sure, still are.

      However, there are still plenty of issues.

      Open flame plus a flammable painting. And the painting is right over the oven where it will get covered in grease. And that’s a gas range with no hood.

      There’s a reason ovens usually open from the top these days. It’s safer and allows you to peak without opening the entire oven or leaning at an odd angle. Locking handles are also no longer used because little kids can climb in and accidentally get stuck.

      The multiple drawers sounds like a good idea but it just means that you can’t cook large dishes. Usually you’d only see styles like this in restaurant kitchens because they will know how large of an oven they need and can benefit from having multiple sizes for different dishes.

    Clearly, the painting has special meaning to the owner and significance to the location. It’s likely made of heat-resistant material, and…

    Oh, who are we kidding. It’s the same width as the stove and is matchy-match blue.

      Sadly that’s not a woodstove, that would be too good.

      That’s probably an Aga style stove. Those are mostly made with cast-iron and use radiant heat to cook. Each oven ‘compartent’ has a diffrent function (eg. top left is warming, bottom left is for roasting and a big one for baking). They work kinda like a masonry heater. And are meant to be always on.

    I used to work for a company that made these kinds of almost art pieces. You definitely got a certain sort of client.

    To be clear you can actually use them to cook food, they do work, but they are definitely more focused on the aesthetics side of things than the functionality. Having said that they do have things like timers and different cooking modes.

    They come with instructions on how to clean them and it looks like a hell of a process so I don’t think I’d ever want to cook with them.

    Can’t wait for the addition of spaghetti sauce splatters. And the house fire.

    Surely everyone understands a real painting can’t take the heat.

    It’s obviously an OLED TV.

        First used by Disney in the various theme parks. Then about 10 years later they became available to the general public.
