Stovetop/ Oven Redesign



Types of stovetops

-Fire Burners

-Electric Burners

-Electric Coil Burners

Where are the controls located for your burners?

Is this convenient?

Are they confusing to read/ tell which control belongs to each burner?

How could it be made easier to read for visually impaired, etc?

How much counter space do you have?

How does the amount of counter space you have affect your cooking process and safety?

How do you accommodate for more space/ less space?

Is your oven/ stovetop level?

How often do you use your stovetop?

What safety precautions do you use?

Do you have a working fire extinguisher/ fire alarm?
