What temperature should the stove be set to?
**Stove Temperature Guidelines**
When it comes to the ideal stove temperature, it varies depending on the type of stove you have and the kitchen setting. Here are some general guidelines:
**Gas Stoves**
* Lower heat ranges:
+ Low heat: 150°F – 200°F (65°C – 90°C)
+ Medium heat: 200°F – 250°F (90°C – 120°C)
* Middle heat: 250°F – 300°F (120°C – 150°C)
* High heat: 300°F – 350°F (150°C – 180°C)
* Very high heat: 350°F – 400°F (180°C – 200°C)
* Very low heat: 100°F – 150°F (38°C – 65°C)
**Induction Stoves**
* Lower heat ranges:
+ Low heat: 2,000°F – 3,000°F (1,093°C – 1,649°C)
+ Medium heat: 3,000°F – 4,000°F (1,649°C – 2,204°C)
* Middle heat: 4,000°F – 5,000°F (2,204°C – 2,760°C)
* High heat: 5,000°F – 6,000°F (2,760°C – 3,320°C)
**Electric Stoves**
* Lower heat ranges:
+ Low heat: 2,000°F – 3,000°F (1,093°C – 1,649°C)
+ Medium heat: 3,000°F – 4,000°F (1,649°C – 2,204°C)
* Middle heat: 4,000°F – 5,000°F (2,204°C – 2,760°C)
* High heat: 5,000°F – 6,000°F (2,760°C – 3,320°C)
**Additional Considerations**
* Always refer to your stove user manual for specific temperature guidelines, as they may vary depending on the model and your local appliance emissions regulations.
* Never exceed the maximum temperature for your stove, as high heat can damage your appliance or burn your food.
* Keep in mind that open flames or high heat can also pose a risk of wildfire or kitchen fire.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take necessary safety precautions when using your stove.
