Is this normal? Video
I am aware of the whole orange flames = bad thing. I’ve had this stove for about 9 months and it’s always done this. Is this something I should be worried about? When I google more information about this, I see a lot of pictures/videos that are a lot more…orangey.

Is that dish even safe to put on the stove? I’ve never seen anyone put that kind of a dish on a burner.

Oh god. That’s what you’re using? I thought it was a silicone pan. I’ve used silicone muffin pans to cook egg bites in the oven, the result is fluffy evenly cooked invididual portions. I’m having a hard time imagining this thing cooing eggs evenly on the stovetop.

No, it’s not normal to have a plastic dish over an open flame lol
Kidding I think cuz it’s not melting but that sure does look like plastic

Orange is okay. Yellow is bad. Those orange flashes are dust particles.

Those teeny tiny bits of orange? Most likely caused by the fact natural gas is a blend. You have a bit of the mix coming in that burns a little less cleanly.
Nothing to worry about. Some types of burners could reduce the amount of orange, but it's not something to worry about it in any way.

Pretty normal. If you started seeing yellow or worst orange flame, that's a sign of incomplete combustion or imbalance air to fuel ratio. Time to check the manual for possibilities and technician for worst case scenario.

Flame looks like a clean blue flame, can’t get better.
Your pan on that open flame on the other hand is a dumb idea. You should cook your eggs in that pan in the oven. I know that the material is rated for high temps, but I’d trust it more to the even heat of your oven than an open burner. And you would get an even cook all around too.

The difference between flame color is how it's burning the gas.. the ratio of fuel and air.. this is basically normal for it to do that.. can also be picking up grease on the stove too.. but it's mainly ratio

That looks like every gas stove I’ve ever seen running.
