    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.

    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.

    Forget them hanging a picture above their stove. What’s worse is that they didn’t even centre it.

        Horizontally. The picture is not perfectly centred above the stove. Needs to be moved a little bit to the right.

          Ooo maybe it is, though i feel like camera perspective can do weird things, depending on how this was shot

            I don’t think the perspective matters that much because that black rim at the back is at roughly the same depth as the picture so you only have to compare it to that. Only your red lines matter and they prove, that there’s a bit of space to the right while there isn’t to the left.

              Yeah you’re right. I would also be lying if I said I’d hung a picture more precisely than this. But that’s a different argument.

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

    It’s obviously an OLED TV.

      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.

          Yeah but you can get stoves that look just like that. A lot of them are actually induction these days rather than radiant, the main benefit being it doesn’t heat the kitchen up to sweltering temperatures.

    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.

      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.

        Oh yeah this is one of the biggest things that AI fucks up – reality. Nobody would put a painting above a stove IRL. That’s the most obvious flag to me. It’s like a spot-the-difference

      Lol ovens like this existed.

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

      They are less than ideal for sure.

        I know they exist in that style. This one is AI though. You can see some tell tale signs of you zoom in. Continuity errors with the boards on either side of the painting, utensils with abstract shapes, the missing handles, knobs with weird protrusions, etc.
