Now THAT’s oil painting !
Oh sure, hang an oil painting right above a woodstove. What could go wrong?
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.
Arent they supposed to also double as heating the house, or at least the main room?
Fortunately, this range does not exist. It's AI
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.

Maybe they just hate the painting and want to cover it in oil, smoke, food, and fire
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.

"Do we like this?"
That's the biggest cant-think-for-myself red flag I've ever heard.
I didn't mind it until I saw the painting and now I'm just scared of it!
Same here. But I had to read the comments to figure that out, I was too fixated on the stove.

Yeah, I was going to ackchyually them about that range then I noticed the painting.
Surely everyone understands a real painting can't take the heat.
It's obviously an OLED TV.
Can't wait for the addition of spaghetti sauce splatters. And the house fire.
They'll have a unique Pollock inspired piece in no time.
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.
Definitely nobody has ever used a frying pan on this stove.
What an odd sur name. I wanna change mine to an object too. Something like Jon housekey, Jim doorknob, Tommy tailgate, Thomas teriyaki beef jerky??
I guess AI doesn’t concern itself with practicality. What’s up with the weird shaped spoons and spoonhandles?
Do you not cook?
Spatula come in a huge variety of shapes for different purposes.
I should get some spoons with speed holes
These are super useful if you hate soup.
They're amazing for cooking soup! How do you stir??
With this, why do you ask?
Looks like I stirred some shit with my comment.
Please don't do that with an electric whisk! At least, not in my house.
You're okay with them manually stirring fæces?
Sometimes this is unavoidable. We all have a poop knife for a reason.
Yes officer, this comment right here

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

I hate it. Needs a fatigue mat.
Also some kind of ventilation.
And the painting would get fucked up pretty quickly in general.
One good grease fire and it'll catch the painting on fire too.
Yar, nor do they sail the seven seas!
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.
I mean no glass on the oven door is a little bit inconvenient and there is no visible range hood (you can have them built into the range itself), othewise there is nothing wrong with it. cleaning a gas stove is more work, but some people swear by gas. the painting can be a glass print if you really want it. I don't understand why this qualifies as a meme
I mean you just pointed it out.
