Not A Cook - [Miguel O'Hara]

More fluff! Takes place before he becomes Spider-Man -- You can't cook and Miguel decides to help Tags: Roommates, colleagues, fluff, lighthearted story, implied they work at Alchemax

“You never learned to cook?”

Miguel's judgy tone speaks from behind you as he reaches for his mug.

His condescending tone makes you bristle, your body instinctively moving slightly to the side to not bump into him as you huff quietly.

You keep your grip on the pan's handle as you attempt to flip over the set of empanadas you had made for yourself. It was supposed to be something easy, especially with the long tongs you bought. But as you try to flip them without burning yourself, tiny bits of oil start to splash, causing you to swiftly lower the flame and step back from the stove.

You narrow your eyes at the pan, crossing your arms with tongs still in hand.

Alright, so cooking wasn’t your strong suit, especially when it came to frying. You got stuck on the fear of potentially getting burned, rather than simply focusing on making the damn food.

It was all too frustrating.

Miguel’s comment certainly didn’t help, and his standing by the table counter only a few feet away, casually sipping his coffee with a smug smirk, only irritated you more.

You knew staying with him was a bad idea. But when word got out that you were initially planning to stay over at a 'friend' as your apartment got fixed, he had personally extended an invitation to his living arrangements.

And now, a month and a half has passed, and your apartment is still far from ready. What started as a simple plumbing issue soon turned into an expired gas meter, faulty wiring, and eventually an upright renovation process.

You found the new arising problems for your apartment strange, but you brushed them off. After all, it was Nueva York, and a standard living space was bound to have its fair share of issues.

Swallowing your pride, you glance at Miguel, meeting his amused gaze.

“If you’re not going to help, I don’t want to hear it,” you roll your eyes, frowning as you stare at the empanadas simmering in oil.

You take a deep breath as you approach the stove again, adjusting the flame and carefully sliding the tongs beneath a crispy empanada, successfully flipping it over without oil splattering this time.

You smile proudly, turning up the stove again before yelping once the oil splatters again.

At this, Miguel erupts in laughter, his hand clutching his stomach as he tries to avoid your prominent glare.

You grit your teeth, throwing your hands up in annoyance before sliding the tongs over to him. "I give up, you do it," you grumble, beginning to head out of the kitchen only to be pulled back abruptly.

"Hey-!"

Miguel raises an eyebrow, wearing that same infuriating smirk once more. "Cooking's all about practice," he quips, dragging you back to the stove. "You just need a few pointers."

"What I need is to avoid it all together."

He rolls his eyes, grabbing the tongs from the counter and handing them to you. He then leans against the counter, arms folding across his chest. "First things first, control the heat," he advises, pointing at the stove. "Medium-low is usually a safe bet for frying. And don't overcrowd the pan; you want each empanada to have space."

You huff quietly, shooting him a side look. Miguel only gives you a deadpan stare, directing his gaze to the pan.

"Fine," you concede, rolling your eyes.

Begrudgingly, you follow his advice, adjusting the heat as he suggested and carefully spacing the empanadas in the pan. They start sizzling gently without any oil splatters.

Miguel nods approvingly. "See? Now keep an eye on them, flip them when they're ready, and you'll be fine." He hums, turning to leave.

You glance at him, surprised by how quickly you stop him. "Wait!"

He raises an eyebrow, clearly amused by your sudden change of tone. "Yes?"

You hesitate for a moment. "Would you… care to join me for breakfast?" You gesture to the pan.

Miguel chuckles softly, shoulders shrugging. "Why not," He pulls out another cup and two plates, placing them on the counter for the two of you.

You find yourself smiling, turning the remaining food over before, finally, turning off the stove. Bringing the pan over, you carefully slide three empanadas onto each plate.

You take a seat, taking a sip from your mug and sighing content when you realize it was hot chocolate and not coffee he had served you.

Setting your cup down, you look at him expectantly. "Well?" You nod your head to the empanadas.

He rolls his eyes, picking up one of the empanadas and taking a careful bite. His expression changes from one of amusement to genuine surprise as he chews.

"You didn't manage to burn them or drown them in oil after all," he chuckles as you also try one.

You grin happily once you see he's telling the truth; They do taste good.

"Just so you know, I'm not doing this again," you shake your head as you chew hungrily. "Not unless there's a kitchen appliance."

"I think you'll change your mind once you get the hang of it," Miguel teases, taking another bite. "Cooking can be quite satisfying, you know."

You roll your eyes playfully. "We'll see about that."

You then look at the clock, gasping and rushing to your room. "I'm running late! I'll see you at the lab!"

With you out of sight, Miguel smiles, a warmth in his eyes that he never allowed you to see.

The next morning, when you wake up to prepare yourself something, you see a light blue appliance on the counter with a note on it.

Here's an air fryer. Can't screw this up. -- Miguel.

You can't help the laugh you let out as you read Miguel's note. You can't help but feel that staying at Miguel's place might not have been such a bad idea after all.

Your feedback will help in this and future works (and WiPs, I haven’t forgotten those!)

I love you all immensely. Take care. 💖

The bluster of winter wails outside the walls. The whistling wakes you, your eyes snapping open but the rest of you rousing slowly. Your muscles ache with the chill creeping up from the floorboards and through the aged plaster of the house. The smell of frost drifts in around the loose panes of the window, deterring you from emerging from the warmth of quilt and flannel.

At last, you find the strength to get up. You make the bed before you find your housecoat and tuck your feet into a pair of fleece-lined slippers. The house creaks around you as you open the door on whiny hinges. The single-floor holds several stories of memories; your own and others’.

You check the thermostat. It shouldn’t be so cold. You swear you can see your own breath. You shiver and rub your hands together as you enter the kitchen. You put the kettle on the burner and light it. You linger for a moment to bask in the warmth of the low flame of the gas stove.

You leave the kitchen, the click of the burner sticking in your head. You enter the back entryway of the house and pull open the old splintering door to the basement. The stares are steep and swathed in darkness, the wraiths of your childhood fears waiting at the bottom.

You flip on the light switch and take your first step down the groaning wooden stairs. Each foot down feels like a descent into hell. You get to the bottom, even colder as no warmth can be found in the cement floors or painted brick walls. The old dryer and washer loom, the only sentinels in the cobwebbed space.

In the corner stands the rusted old furnace. You near with trepidation, shaking as you see the fog of your own breath waft out from your nose. The meter is limp and lifeless. As you near, you realise the old utility is silent.

You’ve had this problem before, it’s nothing new, just like everything else in this house. You go to the cabinet above the washer and dryer and take out the box of matches, checking to make sure they haven’t been dampened by their time in the mildewed basement. You return to the furnace and get down on your knees, close to the back.

There you reach for the gas valve and give it a twist. You press down the red button and strike the match, putting it to the pilot light. You let go of the button and stand to turn the furnace back on. You hear the old barrel-like utility begin to hum.

You head back upstairs, the racket of the furnace building behind you, muffled as you shut the door behind you. As the handle clicks into place, you hear something closer, something louder. You pause and listen, hand resting on the cold metal knob. You fear it comes from where you just were but when it comes again, you realise the noise is from outside.

Before chasing your curiosity, you go back to the kitchen as you hear the kettle begin to quake. You move it off the burner before it can whistle and twist off the dial, the flame wilting to nothing. You shuffle into the back hall and near the back door, listening to the wind still whistling.

You hesitate to open the door, even as you’re certain it’s nothing. You look over at the old cross hung over the rack where you keep split logs for the fireplace. You slide back the lock and twist the handle, easing the swollen door from the frame.

As you pull the door inward, a weight pushes it against you. You step back and let it fall open completely, something collapsing by your feet. The shock blows over you with the winter gale, blustering in through the door. There, her head between your feet, is a woman smeared in dirt and something red.

Her blond hair is filthy with dry mud and a stick is caught in a tangle. There are scratches on her face and neck, her clothing barely in tack as it exposed her raw and bloodied skin. You stare, uncertain of what to do.

Any sane person would shove her back out in the cold and lock their door. But any decent person wouldn’t leave anyone out in that condition. You know her face, not as well as her reputation, but you do not doubt your eyes.

You look out over the expanse of snow littered across the backyard. A touch of yellowed grass peeks through still as the winter has not yet made its full advance. It feels desolate and frigid even as you spy the top of the next house just above your fence. You can’t help but wonder how she ended up back there.

You bend, unsure of how to approach the woman. You fear waking her as much as you worry she may not be able to wake. You slip your hands under her shoulders, turning her flat and hooking your arms under hers.

You haul her past the doorway, dragging her across the rough floorboards. You bend her legs as you go to close the door and stand facing it for just a moment as you process reality. You step back and over the woman, leaving her in the hallway as you try to decide what to do with her next.

It is just as Father Harvey read from the pages, ‘If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?’

You’re not sure you’ll be able to maneuver her further on your own, and you’re just as nervous of going near her again. The thought of a call to the cops crosses your mind but you know it’s futile when it comes to those ones.

You take the kettle off the stove and pull out a mug and some tea to steep. You ponder a second cup but it would probably be cold before she comes to. If she does.

You sit at the table, a glimpse of her dirty blonde hair visible through the doorway. You turn your attention to the window instead as you watch the snow start to fall. You could try to find her brothers or whoever they are. The other ones you don’t speak to.

As you contemplate your fate and the strange woman, you blow over your tea and take your first sip. A small comfort amid a very uncomfortable situation. You empty half the mug before setting it down, your stomach churning with anxiety.

You put your head in your hand and close your eyes. It could be a nightmare. You might wake up and find the house as you left it the night before. You cradle your forehead, keeping your other hand against the warmth of your mug. You hear the vents start, a gush of heat blowing in from under the table as the house thrums.

You hear the clatter of the furnace kicking up. You look up to the thermostat but something else catches your eyes. The figure standing off-kilter in the doorway, watching you as you gape back in shock. Realising it was not the furnace making so much noise, but her.

She doesn’t say a word, instead letting her lips slant and dragging a limp leg over to the stove. Without looking back, she opens a cupboard and takes down a cup of her own, perusing the other wares within. She shuts it with a snap and scoffs, pushing her head back as she rubs her neck.

“Do you have any damn coffee in this shit hole?” She sneers as she drops her hand.

You blink dumbly, put off by her demanding tone and the presumption of her search through your cupboards. As she opens another, you get up and near her, pulling over the canister of coffee against the wall. You hold it up but she doesn’t take it.

You glance over at her bloodied, broken nails. You’re too polite, honestly too afraid, to ask what’s happened to her. Whatever it was, it hardly seems to faze her.

You turn to load the coffee machine, the small single serve you rarely use yourself. Not since the woman across the street disappeared. She used to come now and again for coffee when her husband worked. You always prayed for her and her husband, he wasn’t a nice man.

You shut the lid and tap the brew button. Your mind wanders to the burnt foundation of the neighbour’s house. They found his body but not hers. You hope she was still out there, somewhere, alive. More than a month though and even your faith threatens to falter.

The machine’s grind quiets and you back up, startled by the woman’s reach as she drags the mug off the drip tray. You press yourself to the adjacent counter and look at her. You slide open a drawer and grab a teaspoon, offering it to her.

“I have sugar–”

“Black is fine,” her eyes flash at the silver utensil as she lifts the cup. Her greenish bluish irises carry a tint of yellow, “put that away.”

Her harsh snap surprises you. You put the spoon back and close the drawer. She staggers back, balancing the cup over her uneven gait. She puts her coffee down before dropping into a chair, barely keeping it from turning over under her.

“Close these fucking curtains,” she demands as he bends her head and shields her eyes, “the sun’s always a bitch after the moon.”

Her words don’t make much sense. You obey and pull shut the curtains above the sink, closing out the winter sun. There’s no reason she should be so affected, the sun is trapped behind a pillow of cold clouds.

“Good girl,” she praises and takes a loud slurp.

You spin to face her, crossing your arms as you watch her. Your hand wanders up to your throat but finds only the nook of your collar bone. You’ve left your necklace in your jewellery box. A habit you’ve rarely broken.

‘Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you.’

You remind yourself of the passage as wariness nips at your mind. You do not know this woman, you only know what is said of her. And as the Lord bids, one may not judge without first first accepting judgment themselves.

“What happened to you?” You finally muster the question from the maelstrom of fear and shock.

Her thick brows rise and she tilts her head. She sits sideways in the chair and leans back to look down at herself. As she takes in the shredded flannel hanging from her figure, she lifts her hand to touch the twigs caught in her hair. She laughs, greatly amused as she smothers it with a swig of coffee.

She pops her lips and wipes them with her filthy hand, “well, looks like I had a good night.”

She smiles, her teeth eerily long and white. The expression fills you with unease. You clasp your hands together over your stomach.

“Well, I could run you a bath and you could take some of my clothes. I have a bag I was going to donate at the church–”

“Oh, you are a good girl,” she winks, “you go to church?”

You nod, “every Sunday. It’s an open service.”

“Ha,” she guffaws, “I appreciate the invitation but it isn’t for me. I like the Catholic girls more than the Catholic rites.”

You slowly part from the edge of the counter. She is crass in a way that makes you uncomfortable, in the same way as the drunken men who come out of the old bar on Tilbury. She has no shame or it seems, sense. She is as unbothered by her torn flesh as she is by her similarly shorn clothing.

“I’ll get the tub going. The pipes will take time to heat up–”

“Ah ah,” she tuts as you turn on your heel, “what kind of good Christian does not offer a name?”

You face her again. You didn’t realise. You didn’t think to give it, somehow, it felt like giving more than just that. As if you were handing over something precious. But she is here in your home and the Lord treasures gracious hosts. So you say your name, feeling it leave your tongue like a vow.

“Beautiful,” she praises, “I am Yelena, or whatever you like me to be.”

You have nothing to say to her last remark. You leave her to your coffee and forget about your tea. You’re certain it’s already cold as ice. You head down the hallway and let yourself into the bathroom. You turn on the light as you enter and cross the small patchwork of tile to the tub.

You pull back the curtain and bend over the brim to twist the four-pronged faucets. The water spills out and you splash it up the porcelain to rinse it off, turning off the flow to let it drain before starting it again. You put the stopper in place and push yourself straight.

You take a deep breath as you leave the building humidity in the bathroom and stop short as you find the woman, Yelena, just outside. She smirks at the cross stitch in its round frame, reaching to touch the embroidery; Rejoice in the Lord, the threaded cursive reads with the wreath of flowers.

“Quaint,” she muses as her eyes list over in your direction, “your husband must love you. Blessed be the meek and all that.”

You shake your head and look down at your left hand. If your mother was still around, she’d be certain to loudly proclaim your lack of suitors. The woman hums, taking the hint. She surprises you as she claps her hand on your arm.

“Who needs em? Men,” she scoffs, “trust me, they are…” she pauses, considering her next words carefully, “useless.”

She releases you and you step aside, pointing her into the bathroom. She enters, limping still. You notice how her foot drags, her leg entirely limp. You step forward, lingering at the threshold.

“The towel is clean,” you instruct, “and the hot water will probably run out by the halfway mark–” you voice catches as she strips away the remnants of her shirt. Shamelessly, she pulls down the strap of her bra, the other one snapped, and bares her chest, “oh, but uh, I’ll leave you–”

She snickers, “I am not ashamed of how the Lord made me, feel free to admire his work.”

You gasp and latch onto the doorknob. You swallow and quickly swing the door shut, clinging to it as you blink at the peeling paint. You look down at your hand, feeling as though you can’t let go. You see her body still, her pert tits and knowing smile stir your stomach cloyingly. A sinful sensation that tingles down your spine.

You snatch your hand back and nearly stumble into the wall. You must pray and cleanse yourself of these feelings. Let the Lord forgive you.

🌔

You dig out a pair of jeans and a wool sweater from the box, adding a pair of socks and underwear to the stack before scooping it up. You hug the clothing as you head down the hall, listening to the stir of water through the door.

You clear your throat and place the pile on the square table set against the wall. You lean in, voice catching as you try to make the words come out. You feel as if you’re being choked.

“There are clothes out here for you,” you call through at last.

“Mm,” you can hear her sultry hum, “thank you, sweet one.”

You back away, retracting as if scalded. You shudder and continue on to the kitchen. You take the mugs from the table and go to the sink to wash them. The house is still cold though the furnace has softened the nip in the air.

You dry off both cups and put them back in the cupboard. You empty out the filter in the coffee machine and push the canister of grinds back against the wall. Restlessly, you pace, contemplating what comes next. It is unkind to ask a guest to leave but you must. There’s something festering about this woman being in your home.

You should’ve left her in the cold. The thought brings you to a halt and you’re mortified by your own cruelty. You shake your head and trace a cross through the air with your fingers; forgive me, lord.

You go into the living room and sit on the couch, teetering on the edge as you lean forward, elbows on your knees and hands clamped together. You press your lips to your knuckles and close your eyes.

A silty fatigue grits under your eyelids. You are suddenly very tired. You’re still hoping this is just a dream.

“Ah, there you are,” Yelena’s voice brings your head up, your head swelling dizzily.

You look over your shoulder as she struts across the room. She wears only the wool sweater, her legs naked as the hem hovers tenuously just below her pelvis. You gulp as you watch her, stunned by her speedy and complete recovery.

The cuts across her neck and face are gone, her legs show no blemish or scar, and she walks unimpeded. Her blond hair is damp but shiny, and her cheeks are rosy and full. You’ve never seen anyone look so enthralling.

“I feel much better, darling,” she declares as she combs her fingers through her hair, the sweater rising up her thighs, “oh, but you look less than… what is the matter, sweet one?”

“N-nothing,” you go to stand but she’s quick to meet you, blocking you as she stands before you, putting a hand out to keep you at bay, “I…” you gulp, your mouth dry and pasty, “I was going to make breakfast. Are you hungry?”

She looks down at you and turns her hand to cradle your chin, “I am ravenous.”

You stare up at her, hypnotised by the heat of her touch and the yellow flecks seeming to glow in her irises. She slips her hand down to your neck and leans her weight into you, urging you to sit back. You let her, trembling as your body surrenders against your will.

She brings herself down to her knees, moving to insert herself between hers. Her hand crawls down and she hisses as she clutches the silver cross hung around your neck. He yanks and snaps the chain, bringing a yelp from your lips. She flings it away and shows how the pendant left its shape burnt into her palm. You gape as her skin slowly fades back to normal.

“What…” you breathe.

“Shhh,” she presses her finger to your lips, “I will not hurt you. The moon has gone and my hunger has changed.”

Your eyes round as you squirm. Lord, give me strength.

Her hand falls again and she gropes you through the cotton of your sweatshirt. You murmur as she squeezes and you feel it pluck deep down inside of you. You look down at her hand as she fondles you, her other creeping up to raise the bottom of your shirt.

Your mind screams for you to stop her. You know you should, you know what she’s doing is wrong, but you can’t. It’s as if your body is no longer your own. As if she’s possessed you with her touch alone.

She rolls your shirt above your chest, peeling down the cubs of your wireless bra as she leans forward. A glaze of shock paralyses you as you watch her press her lips to the curve of your tit. He kisses the flesh, teasing it with her tongue, then her teeth, nipping so you squeak.

“Delicious,” she purrs, as her thumb twirls around your hardened nipple.

Your hands ball against the cushion, the most you can muster as your muscles lock up. She keeps one hand on your chest as she trails down your stomach with her mouth. She dotes on your soft belly, her other hand edging around as she guides your hips forward. Her fingers curl around the top of your pants.

Her other hand brushes around your ribs and down your back. She grips the elastic of your pants, guiding them down, tugging them under your ass as she jolts your body. You groan as she pulls both underwear and pants down your thighs in a single swoop.

A crack forms in your trance and you bring your hands together to shield your nakedness. You hid your cunt behind as she strips the fabric past your ankles. She tuts and lays a kiss along your calf. She makes a path up to your knee, then switches legs, kissing along your quivering thigh.

“Don’t be shy,” she growls, “the lord gives us all a purpose. He would not make anything so beautiful if he did not mean it to be admired.”

She leans back and reaches behind her hand. She tugs the sweater up over her head, disposing it on the floor as she presents herself to you. Naked and built like a statue, muscle hewn perfectly.

She pulls your hands away from your pelvis and leers between your legs. She pushes your hands down beside you and drags her own down your thighs. She lifts your legs, one at a time, opening you to her.

She bends as you shake, detached from your mortal shell as he bows her head over your lap. She reaches up grazing over your chest and to your neck. She stretches her hand across your throat and holds you in place as she pokes her cool tongue against your slick heat.

You’re just as surprised at the mingling of hot and cold as you are by your own arousal. She laps you up eagerly as your body responds, falling apart in an instant. You moan through your tight throat, wrapping your fingers around her wrist as you drop your head back. Your voice gristles out as you tilt your hips in welcome.

The scald of your repentance fades into that of your delight. Her tongue delves between your folds, dissembling you with each slow swipe, each swirl around your tender bud. Her fingertips tickle along your thigh, edging the crease of your pelvis and dipping down to your entrance. She prods, wiggling just inside as she eases into you little by little.

You gasp and gulp, rocking your hips in time with her. You can hear how much you want her, you can feel it flooding from you, dripping down her hand and spreading on her tongue. She buries her face against you as she devours you, urging you on as she builds her pace, jamming her fingers deeper and deeper.

You reach down without thinking and latch onto her head. You push her down, smothering her face in your cunt as you rut against her face. You feel the swell crest and your body quakes as the tension shatters and sweeps over you. Your orgasm gushes out around her fingers as your voice fizzles to a creaky whine.

She feels along your hand, carefully drawing it away as she raises her head. Her chin drips with your juices as she snickers, baring her wolfish teeth. Her eyes glimmer as she slips her fingers out of you. You squirm with the sudden emptiness.

She grabs the backs of your calves suddenly and stands, pulling you so you slip down, your shoulders on the cushion. She grips the front of your bunched shirt and hauls you onto the floor, bringing you to your knees. She lifts her leg over your shoulder, planting her foot on the couch behind you.

She pushes your face into her pelvis and you open your mouth. You taste her, tilting your head back as she stains your tongue with her desire. Your eyes roll back as she holds you there, her hips rolling as she grips a fistful of your hair.

“Kneel in worship of me, sweet one,” she cradles the back of your head as she brings you closer, “leave your false god behind.”

All doubt, all dread, dwindles away as you’re swallowed by the heat of temptation. The strength of your spirit succumbs to the weakness of your flesh. Forgive me, lord, oh please, forgive me for how sweet it is.

Starfleet Academy Course E-113: Starship Thermal Management

Ever wondered why a Klingon Bird-of-Prey has wings? We all know it’s not for flying, you don’t need lift in space. Besides looking really fucking cool, they actually do serve a crucial purpose: heat dissipation.

I can see some of you rolling your eyes. Thermal management may not be as sexy as warp theory, but it’s arguably more important. See how far you travel when your engines slag your ship before it can form a stable warp bubble. Even your life support systems generate heat. The heat from crew bodies is enough to kill them.

Why is this the case when space is considered cold? Well, we get rid of heat in three ways: convection, conduction, and radiation. The first two rely on a medium, such as an atmosphere, to wick away heat. Obviously, there is none of that in space. That leaves radiation.

Early sub-warp ship design utilized large radiators, which look like giant fins, to solve this problem. Modern starships aren’t much different, but the emissivity of their radiators is much improved. The underlying principle is the same, though; we are still beholden to the Stefan-Boltzmann law:

A = P / (ε * σ * T^4)

Here, A is the area of the radiator needed to dissipate the power of the waste heat P. ε is the emissivity of the radiator (the theoretical maximum is 1.0). σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.670373 * 10^-8 W m^-2K^-4). T is the temperature of the radiator in Kelvins. Note that the radiator’s area is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the temperature: the higher the temperature the radiator is designed for, the smaller its area needs to be.

Which brings us to the different ways Starfleet ships dissipate heat. The heat generated by life support systems is significantly smaller than that generated by the ship’s engines and warp drive. It takes a lot of energy to get one type of radiator to handle both, so starships use two separate methods to get rid of this heat.

The heat from the engines is sent straight from the stardrive, up the nacelle mounts, and into the nacelles. That blue glow on the warp nacelles? Those are radiators, and that glow is waste heat! Just like on those antique gas burning stoves, where the hottest part of the flame glows blue, so do these radiators.

What about life support and other systems that put out a low amount of heat relative to the engines? Remember that the lower the design temperature of the radiator, the larger its surface area needs to be. This heat is dissipated through the surface area of the hull itself: this is the reason Starfleet builds ships with large, flat, saucer sections.

So when you’re out there in the void of space, scanning anomalies or conducting peace talks, remember to head down to the stardrive section and thank your thermal engineer.

My new apartment has an induction hob, so I've cooked extensively on glass and solid top electric, gas, and now induction. I haven't used bare coils though. I'll honestly say that the differences in actual ease of cooking are pretty minor. I've never really hated any of these options, they've got various strengths and weaknesses but ignoring health and environmental concerns I mostly don't care. They all succeed at the vast majority of cooking at the level your average home cook needs.

From my experience gas has benefits mostly in flexibility- woks, pans, sheets, you can roast a whole pepper or eggplant directly, it's very versatile. Gas has the upside of immediate control, but to me actually controlling gas power is pretty finicky unless you have a really nice stove, gas valves are rarely very linear so you tend to have a very narrow band between "barely on at all" and "full blast". At the same time it's pretty weak, boiling water on gas is miserably slow and heats up the whole kitchen massively, you need to plan to boil water half an hour in advance.

Induction is great, I'm having a great time with it. I can even heat my sheet pans on it because they're steel if I'm doing small oven things that need a roux or something, although I can't use it for ceramic oven dishes without an adapter plate. It's pretty tolerant of movement and being off-centre, and it heats and cools astoundingly quickly with a huge amount of power. If you have an old aluminium stock pot that won't work but otherwise even the cheap little saucepan I use to boil eggs runs perfectly, and induction is truly unmatched for "boil water NOW." I haven't missed gas much, and I was cooking on gas for the past few years before I moved out. I really like how snappy changing temperature is, my biggest complaint is that my stove only has 9 heat levels and that feels too low resolution, because I barely touch 1-4 in normal cooking, and I'd like options between 5-6 and 7-8.

Plain electric is a nuisance at times but I've never had huge problems with it, the biggest issue is that it can sometimes spike in temperature unpredictably and scorch your food. If you're mostly cooking wet it's pretty manageable, and I find it has better simmering control than gas, it's much easier to get a low consistent simmer out of a pot on electric (and induction) than on gas. It's a direct downgrade to induction but I wouldn't be mad if my stove had been electric, you just lose speed of control but on the flip side you gain free thermal mass, great if you want to do high heat searing in a thinner pan like a stainless steel or carbon steel.

I think the traditional strengths of gas are somewhat overblown in the home kitchen if you don't cook in very specific ways. If you use a wok or you use open flame tricks for roasting then gas is your only mainstream option, but most people don't do that very often. I think those small gas camp stoves with the side mounted bottles are a good thing to keep around a kitchen if you're into experimenting with that kind of cooking often but wok usage is falling even in South East Asia these days.

I think the health concerns of gas are significant enough that I wouldn't want to cook with gas if I had small children or elderly people around, and you need to take more care to ventilate well (although you should always ventilate when cooking with anything) but I think the differences are exaggerated by people wanting to justify why their favourite tool is the best at cooking specifically.

Why Is My Gas Stove Flame Orange? Helpful Solutions

Gas stoves are an efficient and convenient way to cook meals. But sometimes, you may encounter issues with the flame or its performance. A common problem is when the flame is orange instead of blue.

If you find yourself in this predicament, you may wonder why your gas stove flame is orange and how you can fix it.

In this blog post, we'll discuss why your gas stove flame may be orange and provide helpful solutions for restoring it to its original blue color.

Continue reading "Why is my gas stove flame orange?" article for information and tips about why your gas stove flame is orange and how to fix it.

Why Is My Gas Stove Flame Orange?

What causes a gas stove to have an orange flame? The main reason is contamination with some things, such as calcium, unsafe carbon monoxide levels, incomplete combustion, and more.

Contamination

Gas stove flames are usually blue; however, if they appear orange, this can generally be attributed to contamination in the gas supply.

Calcium is one of the most common contaminants that can cause a gas stove flame to appear orange. This occurs when calcium builds up on the gas stove's burners, creating a layer that can block gas flow.

This blockage of the gas flow causes the flame to burn at a lower temperature, which is why it appears orange instead of blue.

As the calcium builds up, it can cause a decrease in the efficiency of the stove and increase the risk of a fire due to the low level of oxygen in the flame.

Unsafe Carbon Monoxide Levels

Orange flames from gas stoves can indicate unsafe levels of carbon monoxide, which is an invisible, odorless, and potentially deadly gas.

Carbon monoxide gets produced when a gas stove is not burning correctly, usually due to an improper mixture of fuel and air. If the flame is mostly orange or yellow, there is a potential for high carbon monoxide levels in your home.

Incomplete Combustion

The orange flame will result from the presence of nitrogen dioxide in the air. When the gas becomes lit, the air's nitrogen dioxide combines with the burning fuel, creating an orange flame.

This phenomenon is known as 'the nitrogen dioxide effect' and results from incomplete combustion. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is insufficient oxygen for the fuel to burn completely.

As the fuel burns without oxygen, the flame turns orange due to nitrogen dioxide, an orange-tinted gas.

It occurs due to incomplete combustion

Burning Of A Mixture Of Natural Gas And Air

Gas stove flames are typically orange because of burning a mixture of natural gas and air. The presence of oxygen in the air helps to ignite the natural gas, causing it to burn and produce a flame.

When you can ignite the gas, it produces a flame composed of mainly carbon dioxide, water vapor, and a small amount of nitrogen and oxygen.

The combination of these elements produces an orange color in the flame.

Air Turbulence

Additionally, air turbulence created by the gas flow can cause the flame to appear orange. The flame's size, shape, and color depend on how much air combines with the natural gas. If there is much air, the flame will be more yellow.

Signs Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition caused by inhaling dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas.

It is essential to recognize the signs of CO poisoning to prevent severe injury or death. Common symptoms of CO poisoning include:

Headache

Dizziness

Nausea

Vomiting

Confusion

Exhaustion

Chest pain

However, it is essential to note that not all of these symptoms may be present, and the severity of the symptoms may vary from person to person.

Other signs of CO poisoning can include:

Difficulty breathing

Shortness of breath

An increased heart rate

How To Fix An Orange Flame On Your Gas Stove?

If you notice that the flame on your gas stove has changed from the standard blue color to an orange hue, it could be a sign of a potentially dangerous issue.

Fortunately, it is usually a simple fix that you can do with the right tools and safety precautions. Here is a guide to fixing an orange flame on your gas stove:

Use Proper Orifices

Having an orange flame on your gas stove can be a sign of a wrong orifice size. An orifice is a small hole inside the burner that releases the gas and mixes it with air before burning.

When the size of the orifice isn't correct, the flame may come out as either too high or too low and maybe orange in color. If you need clarification on why the flame is orange, it is best to have a professional check it out.

However, if you want to try to fix it yourself, you can start by removing the orifice from the burner and replacing it with a new one.

Orifices come in different sizes, so purchase the one specified for your gas stove. You must readjust the brass orifice and swap out the gas pressure regulator.

Clean Burners

If your gas stove has an orange flame, it could indicate blocked burner ports or a malfunctioning igniter. To fix this issue, you need to clean the burner ports.

First, turn off the gas valve and disconnect the power cord. Then, use a fine wire brush to clean the burner ports to remove any dirt, debris, and build-up.

Once the ports are debris-free, reassemble the burner parts and turn the gas valve back on. Test the flame to ensure it is blue and burning evenly. The igniter may need replacing if you still see an orange flame or it's not burning correctly.

To fix it, clean the burner

Need More Air

If you have noticed an orange flame on your gas stove, the flame is not getting enough air. This is a common issue, and you can rectify it relatively quickly.

First, check to ensure that the flame ports on the burner have not become blocked by food debris or dirt. If so, use a soft-bristled brush to remove the debris gently.

Next, check your gas stove venting system to ensure it is properly functioning. If the venting system is blocked, clear it using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air.

You may also need to check for any kinks in the hose that connects the stove to the gas supply.

Turn Off Humidifiers

To start, you should turn off any humidifiers in your home.

When humidifiers are on, they can cause a decrease in the air pressure, which can lead to an orange flame.

Turning off the humidifiers is a solution

Dismantle And Reassemble The Gas Stove

It's prudent to give this strategy a shot, as it has proven successful in several instances.

First, remove the grate on top of the stove and lift the lid to get to the burner pipes. Back beyond the gas controls is a plate or tube that acts as a cover for the air vent of the burner.

To open the shutter, you'll need a screwdriver. Start with a blue flame and work up to a full blue flame by progressively adjusting the air shutters.

The final steps are reinstalling the stovetop and top grates, tightening the screws, and turning off the burner.

FAQs

Is An Orange Flame On A Gas Stove Dangerous?

Yes, an orange flame on a gas stove can be dangerous, and you should address it immediately.

What Color Should The Flames Be On My Gas Stove?

It is blue. If you look closely, you should see a little bright blue triangle at the center of a blue flame from a fully functioning gas appliance.

The fuel burns cleanly, efficiently, and ultimately when a flame is blue.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, orange flames on gas stoves can result from various factors, ranging from contamination to air turbulence.

If you experience orange flames, it's best to inspect the stove to identify the cause and take corrective actions to restore the blue flame.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the stove can also help prevent this issue.

Leaf Burner Safety and Environmental Concerns

Leaf burning is a common fall pastime, but it can pose safety and environmental problems. It releases a variety of toxic byproducts into the air, and it can damage the ozone layer.

The best way to burn leaves is in a designated burn barrel. Alternatively, you can use a fire pit. It’s important to keep a fire pit under 4 feet high and wide and to have a water source available before you start burning.

Types of Burners

The burning of leaves can be a problem for many communities. In some cases the city will pick up raked leaves but in others the homeowners are left with no place to burn them.

The smoke that comes from burning leaves can be a big problem for health officials and firefighters. It can irritate eyes, noses and throats and it can kick up carbon monoxide in the air that can aggravate asthma symptoms.

There are some things that you can do to prevent this. You can burn on calm days, keep the area around your burning pile clear of vegetation and check your local and state laws before starting a fire.

You should also look for a leaf burner that is made of quality stainless steel. This will ensure that it will last a long time and not break down easily over time. It should also be able to withstand the outdoor elements.

Dual Jet Burners

A double jet burner is a blast to use and the most efficient way to cook with gas. The dual jets feature a swivel flame spreader that allows you to switch from low to high heat, and the one-piece stainless steel frame is built to last. CSA design certified to withstand the test of time and the elements. The best part is that the swivel is easily controlled by the brass control valve located on top of the unit.

This high pressure dual jet burner from Bene Casa comes in a handsome black finish and is designed to be used with pots and pans of the highest quality. It also boasts a large cooking surface, a dual flame burner and a nifty fold-out side shelf for extra storage space when you're not using it. It's also been designed for safety with the f a m o r t m a l best-in-class safety features including a high-pressure hose guard.

Single Jet Burners

Single jet burners produce a single flame that is ideal for cooking large pots of water or oil. They also make a fine brew stove and are often used in jambalaya pots.

However, be aware that these units are prone to overheating because of their size. They also have a tendency to leak if you are not careful.

It is important to properly match the burner BTU rating with the amount of gas you can provide it. This is because if the burner only receives a fraction of what it needs to create an optimal flame, it will likely not perform as well as you expect.

A nozzled burner, on the other hand, is designed to deliver more of the optimum flame, regardless of how much gas you provide it. Because a nozzled burner can produce a taller flame, it may appear as if the unit is more powerful than it actually is. But this is only because it uses more gas, which means it has a higher BTU rating.

Wood Burners

Wood burners, or log stoves as they are sometimes called, are becoming increasingly popular. However, these burning units are creating toxic levels of air pollution which are causing harm to your health.

To minimize the impact on your health, avoid burning any leaves, grass or trash. Burning waste is also a fire hazard and has been linked to significant amounts of carbon monoxide, particulates, heavy metals and toxic chemicals such as dioxins and poly aromatic hydrocarbons (Gullett).

For the best results, use seasoned wood that has not been treated with CCA or any other harmful substances. Whether you are using a pellet stove or an open fire, the use of dry and well-seasoned wood will minimize the risk of creosote accumulation in the chimney flue and will ensure that the wood has the highest heat potential.

You can also use bark and strips of tree trunks to make a natural firelighter for your fire pit or stove. These burn slowly and give off a lovely aroma.

Have you ever seen an orange flame on a gas stove? It's a sight to behold. But what does it mean, and is it dangerous? The orange flame on a gas stove is caused by a phenomenon known as "diffusion." When you turn on the burner, the gas is released and mixed with the air. This ignites an incredibly hot mix of gasses, producing a bright orange flame. While an orange flame is a sign that you're cooking with gas, it's not necessarily dangerous. However, if the flame is so large that it's licking up the sides of the pot or pan, you need to turn down the heat. A large flame can cause heat distribution problems and risk your safety. Orange flame on Gas stove Why Does a Gas Stove Burn Orange? When you turn on a gas stove, the first thing you probably notice is the orange flame. But have you ever stopped to ask why it's orange? The flame on a gas stove is orange because of the mix of gasses that come out of the nozzle. The most common mix is hydrogen and methane, which create an orange flame. Other gasses, like carbon monoxide, can create a blue flame. It's important to know your stove flame color to adjust the knob to the right heat level. An orange flame means your stove is set to medium-high heat, while a blue flame means high heat. Is an Orange Flame on a Gas Stove Safe? No, an orange flame on a gas stove is not safe. The flame is too high and could potentially lead to a gas leak. How to Adjust the Flame Color Now that you know what the different colors of flames mean, it's time to adjust the flames on your stove. If the flame is too high, it can produce soot and carbon monoxide, which harm your health. If the flame is too low, it won't produce enough heat, and your food will take longer to cook. To adjust the flame, turn the knob on your stove. You'll see numbers next to the knob if you have a gas stove. The higher the number, the higher the flame. Turn the knob until you get to the desired number. You can also adjust the flame color by changing where the flame hits the pot or pan. Move the pot or pan closer to the burner if you want a brighter orange flame. If you want a softer flame, move it further away. Troubleshooting Tips for Fixing an Orange Flame Try a few troubleshooting tips when dealing with an orange flame on your gas stove. The first is to check the size of the flame. If it is too small or too large, the gas-air mixture isn't correct and needs to be adjusted. Next, check if your burner caps are clogged with food residue or dirt. If so, they need to be removed and cleaned or replaced. You can also check that your burner ports are open, which could be causing airflow disruption and resulting in an orange flame. Finally, ensure no furniture is near the stove, and the vents are clear of debris from cooking. This could be blocking the airflow and leading to an orange flame. If all these troubleshooting tips donâ€™t work, it might be time to call in a professional for help. Tips for Maintaining Your Gas Stovetop Maintaining your gas stovetop is the key to enjoying your orange flame and staying as long as possible. To keep it running at its best, you should clean your gas parts regularly. This can include burners, grates, seals, pilot lights, and burner caps. You should also keep an eye out for any clogs or blockages that could be causing your orange flame. In addition, make sure you're using the proper cookware for your gas stovetop. Be sure to use flat-bottomed cookware on burners and pans so that heat is evenly distributed and no flames are blocked off. Finally, it's important to check for leaks periodically. If you smell gas or hear any hissing noises, you should turn off the stove immediately and call a service technician. They can inspect the system and help diagnose any potential problems. Frequently Asked Questions About an Orange Flame on a Gas Stove We can't forget the most common questions people have regarding a gas stove's orange flame. The first question people often ask is why their gas stove's flame is orange.

There are two main reasons for this. The first reason is that the flame isn't burning at full power, meaning the burners aren't consuming enough air to create a full-power blue flame. The second reason could be because of a lack of oxygen, which results in an orange flame. People also want to know what to do if their gas stove produces an orange flame. The answer is simple: ensure the burners are properly adjusted and have enough airflow to produce a blue flame. If there is still an orange flame, turn off the gas and call for professional help before attempting to fix the issue yourself. Conclusion When you see an orange flame on your gas stove, it means that the stove is in the wrong mode. If you see an orange flame, make sure to turn the knob to the blue flame symbol to fix the problem.
