Split Stoves, Ovens, And Parties, Oh My. Split from The Race For 2024

[Loren Pechtel]

I don't know where you live, JH, but around here, stoves and ovens are used interchangeably.

Huh????

A stove is an approximately flat surface you place pots and pans on to be heated from the bottom. An oven is a box you place pots in to be heated from all sides. While both heat the words are not remotely interchangeable.

Not to me.
I've got a stove. It's a largish appliance with burners on top, an oven in the middle, and a broiler underneath that. The whole thing taken together is a stove.

You have an appliance that is both a stove and an oven, they are often called stoves. I'm saying the box to heat what's inside it is called an oven, not a stove.

If your food is on it it’s a stove. If your food is in it it’s an oven.
Glad I could clear that up fer y’all.

And a little more information from a linguistic perspective:

Stove v. Oven v. Range

 

[ZiprHead]

From SM's link:

A range is a stove that has burners and is paired with an oven; an oven can bake or roast things; and a stove is a heating device (think cooktop or stovetop) that you can cook on.

Although the appliance industry has specific guidelines, in more casual usage, people might use these terms interchangeably.

This reminds me of an old friend that invited me to his place for some burgers off the grill. When I arrived, I found him using a George Foreman grill. I had assumed he meant the traditional outdoor grill in his backyard. Expressing my disappointment he was quick to defend that the George Foreman was indeed a "real grill" and that we couldn't just hang out in the garage using the outdoor one. I blasted out "Yes the F^@# we can! Just roll it right around the front and put it just outside the F$%$# door!". This sparked a lengthy debate, and we eventually agreed to specify the grill type in the future to avoid misunderstandings.

Thanks for posting this. It makes me feel a little less guilty about all the silly arguments I've had with friends over the years about stupid shit.

That is not an object to heat what's inside it.

But what is it called?

NO BETTING!!
I was actually wondering about the GF “grill”…
How bad could it be? I mean I really prefer my burger grilled over a dying mesquite fire, but I have had one right out of a pan that wasn‘t too bad …

We used to have a GF junior model. It was OK. At least it drained the meat.
Hard to clean though. Somebody borrowed it and I didn't press to get it back. I never did, I kinda forgot a it.

Same experience with ours. They should have made the grill plates removable.

The burgers cooked perfectly on the GF grill. To my surprise, after the initial shock, it provided a more intimate and engaging experience than a traditional grill. Positioned between us, it became the centerpiece of our gathering as we sipped on 40's and spit bars over instrumentals. However, the mood shifted when someone reminiscent of Deebo from the movie 'Friday' approached, urging us to join in on some street antics. Overall the grill was just fine.

FYI - I've been using Chat GPT to translate what I write into something more palatable for the broader audience. This section "However, the mood shifted when someone reminiscent of Deebo from the movie 'Friday' approached, urging us to join in on some street antics." Was translated from "It was all good until one of the niggas on some bully shit from the hood decided we owed him a burger. We fucked him up for everyone on the block that day." Chat GPT really is good at what it does.
