Lighter

When the gas stove’s igniter has a problem, many people use a lighter to ignite the stove. However, using a lighter to light the stove can easily cause fires and pose other risks. Additionally, having a lighter near the stove creates unpredictable hazards.

Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are made of polyethylene, and if exposed to a hot flame on the stove, they can easily catch fire and exhibit other phenomena. Plastic bags burn quickly, are difficult to extinguish, pose a danger, and emit unpleasant odors.

Cooking Oil

Cooking oil should not be placed near the stove as it can easily ignite and cause fires. Additionally, the stove’s temperature is very high, so if the cooking oil is placed too close to the stove, it will undergo oxidation at high temperatures, causing a decrease in nutritional value and flavor.

Flour, Starch, and Powdered Substances

If flour is placed too close to the stove, it can catch fire. This is because flour contains carbohydrates, which are flammable and dangerous. Therefore, it is safer to keep them away from the stove.

Alcohol

Many people add a little alcohol to eliminate the gamey smell of certain braised dishes. However, alcohol contains ethanol, which can easily catch fire if exposed to flame on the stove. Additionally, alcohol is easily spoiled at high temperatures, so you should keep it away from the stove.
