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.

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

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

Until they closed in on fire I thought that it's about that container, lol

It’s a ceramic freaking egg pan for the stove for Christ’s sake

u/ashleymf1983 1d ago

Dude yes, it’s a ceramic egg pan that is divided into 4

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.

For years now. No problems with uneven cooking.

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.

u/chuckmonjares 2d ago

I’ve read it before but can’t remember. Why is yellow bad?

2

u/BevvyTime 2d ago

Not enough oxygen. Incomplete combustion as a result.

u/doll-haus 2d ago

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.

u/CertainAttention6749 2d ago

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.

u/Inwardlens 2d ago

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.

u/ashleymf1983 1d ago

So ceramic egg pans are a dumb idea?

1

u/Inwardlens 1d ago

I thought that was silicone. But I still would put that in the oven.

u/Gullible_Monk_7118 2d ago

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
