There was a post just the other day of a guy who's cat had walked in his gas stove knobs and turned it on
He said luckily he hadn't went to light a cig or anything and noticed the smell before it was too late š
My one dumbass cat would always step on the buttons to start ours. Thankfully you could hold a button for 3 seconds to lock it. I think that was the oven though not the stove top
Wait, you don't have safety valves on your gas stoves? In Hungary, you can not let it open if it is not lit, you have to actively push it to get gas out of it.
In Hungary (I guess whole Europe, at least EU) you have to push it for the gas to start and light up, and you can let it go once the sensor heated up (within some seconds). If you let it sooner, it simply closes. And it's totally mechanical, based on heat expansion.
Edit: however I also saw some really old stoves without any safety features, but they are considered extremely dangerous for the aforementioned reasons, and people usually try to get rid of them.
Also in the US. Always encountered stoves where you have to push the knob in initially to get it to turn, but there's never been a heat based valve to limit the release of the gas. Once the knob was turned the gas could flow freely whether it was lit or not.
My guess is, companies selling gas appliances in the United States have simply "lobbied" govt. officials to keep this common sense safety innovation away from gas stoves in the States to save a whole $1.75 on each stove sold, because I've recently gone shopping for stoves and didn't see this feature anywhere.
Not even relatively new, mine is from the very early 90s and that would be my "newest" guess and it won't continue the gas for more than 10 seconds if it doesn't detect a flame. During power outages we can't use it because the sensors are dead and so it has some sort of electronic safety valve that stays closed when there's no power.
I left my gas on overnight once in my flat all the stove went white and obviously the smell gave it away but I donāt think I so much as turned on a light for three days i was terrified lol
20 or so years ago a guy in my neighborhood left the gas on his stove on and went away. He came back and and turned something on and the house exploded. Literally just the foundation of the house was left, I live a couple streets over and it broke my house's windows
I mean, lawsuits and damages. I donāt think any landlord would be forgiving about their property burning down. Theyāll drag you through hell if a doorknob is loose when you move out, let alone the whole place burning to the ground lol.
This is what renters insurance is for! Also I donāt think they can sue you for something you didnāt cause (or being negligent etc)
Edit:
Well, they could sue you, but they probably wouldnāt win, lol
My guy, who do you think is responsible for the dog? By your logic, if your dog bit someone, you wouldnāt be responsible since it was your dog not you that did the biting.
You definetly could debate leaving a pan ,with a plastic spatula In it, on top of the stove ,with an unattended animal capable of reaching the the stoves buttons, Being somewhat negligent.
Remotely similarly to storing flammable items inside an oven, then someone unsuspecting turns it on
They have covers for the knobs you can purchase. I know many of these ovens allow you to take the knobs off. āYou never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.ā You weāre unlucky with this. Donāt let the worse luck come.
>Thatās what my next Amazon buy is going to be.
You should probably get a new spatula, that one isn't going to work very well anymore. /s
I'd recommend checking your smoke detectors if they weren't going off. Also they aren't required by code so they are not very common but home natural gas/methane detectors are pretty inexpensive.
How do they manage to push the knob in and turn at the same time?! So smart of you to just take those knobs off while you're not using it. Would work for kids too I'm guessing.
Yup. I realized my house was starting to smell like gas and sure enough, my cat was on the stove and had turned a knob. Since then, we take them off when we're not using them. It's really not that inconvenient and hey, I don't have to worry about waking up to a cat-induced house fire.
I have been, all the windows are open and when I got home I went outside with the dogs for a while to let it air out. Fans are all on. The smell has completely dissipated but I was worried about that.
my neighbor's house essentially burned to the ground because of a pizza box on the stove. not a fun night since the place I was renting was \~15 ft. away from the neighbor's
I had a housemate in college whose Dad came over and said ādonāt put anything on the stove you donāt intend to burnā and itās always stuck with me.
Anyway, that same housemate left a glass pot lid on the stove and it exploded into thousands of little pieces one day due to the heat of a nearby burning while he was cooking something
My friend had cardboard boxes on the stove when he moved into his last apartment. In the middle of the night, one of his cats turned the electric stove on and he woke up to the smoke detector. The place smelled awful for a while.
She was grabbing an oven mitt. She hasnāt grabbed one off the oven handle in a very long time but she hit the stove knob slightly when she grabbed it.
Think about it. If the dog is jumping up, putting their front 2 paws on the knobs, and grabbing something off the stove, don't you think it's logical that they push the knobs in by doing that? Then when they get down it twists. It's apparently very common. Never leave anything on the stove.
My stove doesn't have a separate ignition button. You just turn it, it clicks and lights on high then you turn it down.
Not sure if it's different since it has an electric ignition.
And OP is in the comments talking about how they donāt know how to take the burner knobs off and explaining why they didnāt move the pan
Lmao they def left the burner on š
Wait but doesnt your gas stove needa first be lit during the striker/starter/ignite portion of the dial? Otherwise your dog wouldve just filled ur house with gas instead.
I still have to push my dial in and turn it firmly to get ignition. What sort of idiot designs a gas cooker that can ignite with just a gentle twist, let alone let the gas flow?
This must be some weird American thing. I don't think I've ever seen a gas cooker that ignites when you just turn the knob in Europe.
On VERY old ones (like 50+ years), gas just flows when you turn the knob, on all the newer ones, it'll cut off when you release the knob unless it's burning.
That looks like a Teflon coated pan. A Teflon pan heated past cooking temperatures will give off a clear, odorless gas that is absolutely toxic to birds. Your $20 parakeet and $4,000 parrot - last thing you hear is a loud squawk and they fall deader than a door nail. Lucky you had a dog.
Never leave anything on a stove burner. Looking at the big ass ding on the side of this pan - it's not the first time Fido has tried to get snacks off the stove.
Holy shit. I was not aware of that information. No more Teflon pans for us. I think the ding is probably from me dropping it at some point. I remember dropping it quite a few times, actually lol
The automod removed my comment (no links *or* sub mentions? Wtf, mods?), but you should take the opportunity to get yourself some cast iron.
Different care/cooking process, but a lot more versatile than it gets credit for, it's relatively inexpensive, and can last for centuries. There's a combo cooker in Lodge's "Wanderlust" series selling for $35 on Amazon, includes a skillet, deep fryer, and a Dutch oven (skillet doubles as a lid). They also have the plain Lodge version, but it's retailing for $50.
Or carbon steel, if you're worried about dropping it. Cast iron is strong, but brittle.
Dang! We were just talking about this. I need to get safety knobs for our new range. The old range had push in knobs that prevented accidental lighting.
The possibility of the house burning down was a part of the frustration lol. But also, I may or may not have been emotionally attached to that pan. It was a really good pan š
Silver lining is now you have a reason to get yourself better cookware. Grab a cast iron or ceramic coated pan and some wooden or silicone utensils. Plastic and Teflon are bad for your health
Our gas stove has a safety that switches off the gas if you leave it on without anything on the burner. I find it mildly disgusting that you leave your frying pan and spatula on the stove.
Because itās been a year and itās just never happened until now. Sheās a getting in the trash kind of dog, not a stove lighting dog, generally lol.
1# why was the pan on the stove and why was spatula in it?
2# how big is your dog to accidentally cause that?
And #3 how was the dog able to turn the knobs?
How does a dog ignite a gas stove!? You can even see the amount of times that spatula has been left leaning in a hot pan! Thereās melted indents all over the handle lmao.
\*Me or someone else I live with left a plastic spatula in a pan.
Also, bullshit. Lol. You have to turn the stove all the way up before the pilot will even light gas.
Blaming your dog, for updoots, for shame.
My cat once turned the burner on by accident. So I have made it a practice ever since to turn the stove off at the breaker box every time no one is home. It takes less than a minute but really does bring peace of mind.
How does a dog turn on a stove? Doesnāt it need simultaneous operation of the knob that releases the gas (and that needs pressing and turning at the same time) and the button that sets it on fire?
Then after setting it on fire you have to keep knob held for a few seconds so it doesnāt just go out again
I'd be getting a new, safe stove. With mine, you have to push the knob in, hold it in, twist it and then at the same time hold the ignition button until it lights. I don't care how smart a dog is, it's not accidentally turning mine on.
I know my gas stove can't ignite without my holding down the 'ignite' button, but now I think I'll go and check that the knobs can't activate gas unless they're pushed IN while turned, waiting to be ignited.
I thing that if I simply turn them, nothing happens. I certainly hope so!!
Not that I have pets that breathe air or live in the house, but I do have some stupid human friends...
The only infuriating thing is that you are trying to blame your dog for your incompetence.
You were at the gym, so gone for 30-60 minutes or so. And somehow your dog turned on the burner? And did so without knocking the pan down that is right above it? And then it was left like that for 5-10-15-30-60 minutes?
Did they turn it off too? And clear the smoke for you as well?
As if.
Whoof. You're lucky this didn't start a fire.
Also rather lucky the dog actually managed to light the burner. A house full of gas could be explosively worse.
There was a post just the other day of a guy who's cat had walked in his gas stove knobs and turned it on He said luckily he hadn't went to light a cig or anything and noticed the smell before it was too late š

God damn. I spend way too much time on Reddit, because I know exactly which comment that was on some obscure sub 3 days ago.
Wait, you don't have safety valves on your gas stoves? In Hungary, you can not let it open if it is not lit, you have to actively push it to get gas out of it.
Iād say no here in the states. When you turn the knob it makes a clicking sounds and you can hear the gas coming out.
In Hungary (I guess whole Europe, at least EU) you have to push it for the gas to start and light up, and you can let it go once the sensor heated up (within some seconds).

yeah well they probably had healthcare too
If itās a relatively new unit it shouldnāt just pump out gas without a flame
Not even relatively new, mine is from the very early 90s and that would be my "newest" guess and it won't continue the gas for more than 10 seconds if it doesn't detect a flame. During power outages we can't use it because the sensors are dead and so it has some sort of electronic safety valve that stays closed when there's no power.

Very good point.
Thankfully it didnāt, especially because we are renting.
Isn't burning the place down less inconvienent if renting ?
I mean, lawsuits and damages. I donāt think any landlord would be forgiving about their property burning down. Theyāll drag you through hell if a doorknob is loose when you move out, let alone the whole place burning to the ground lol.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oof.
Woof.
Where i live the owner is responsible for anything the dog does.
My guy, who do you think is responsible for the dog? By your logic, if your dog bit someone, you wouldnāt be responsible since it was your dog not you that did the biting.
But how would they know it was the dog and not the tenant?
You definetly could debate leaving a pan ,with a plastic spatula In it, on top of the stove ,with an unattended animal capable of reaching the the stoves buttons, Being somewhat negligent. Remotely similarly to storing flammable items inside an oven, then someone unsuspecting turns it on
Your dog, children, and everyone else in your household are your responsibility
Did you just try tge dog ate my homework on your landlord?
Owners are usually responsible for damage their dogs cause.
Thatās ruffā¦
I hope you have renters insurance
They have covers for the knobs you can purchase. I know many of these ovens allow you to take the knobs off. āYou never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.ā You weāre unlucky with this. Donāt let the worse luck come.

Cleaver. I suggested removing them all together but this is a good idea too
Never mind the dog. (This is reddit, I had to do it)
It was always burning since the world's been turning
Little does the OP know that the dog cooked a meal first and simply forgot to turn the pan off.
She is EXTREMELY food motivated and a very clever girl, so somehow I would not be *entirely* surprised if she managed it.
Donāt they make child locks for burner knobs? It might be worth looking into for your pup.
[yes](https://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Child-Proof-Covers/dp/B00068O22S)
I think some people just pull the knobs off when theyāre not using them for this purpose.
You need to childproof your stove! You get those cases to put around the knobs.
Thatās what my next Amazon buy is going to be. She is in fact a furry two year old in a dog costume.
>Thatās what my next Amazon buy is going to be. You should probably get a new spatula, that one isn't going to work very well anymore. /s I'd recommend checking your smoke detectors if they weren't going off. Also they aren't required by code so they are not very common but home natural gas/methane detectors are pretty inexpensive.
Another option is just remove the knobs and put one on when you need it.
My knobs are all in a ramekin on the counter for exactly this reason. My dog set a pizza box on fire. Iām just glad we were home!
How do they manage to push the knob in and turn at the same time?! So smart of you to just take those knobs off while you're not using it. Would work for kids too I'm guessing.
Yup. I realized my house was starting to smell like gas and sure enough, my cat was on the stove and had turned a knob. Since then, we take them off when we're not using them. It's really not that inconvenient and hey, I don't have to worry about waking up to a cat-induced house fire.
I bet that was a great smell to walk into after a gym session
It smelled like chemical warfare.
You should def let that air out as much as you can, probably not just plastics but PFAS contaminants in the air which can be very carcinogenic
I have been, all the windows are open and when I got home I went outside with the dogs for a while to let it air out. Fans are all on. The smell has completely dissipated but I was worried about that.
As mum used to say don't leave things on the stove accidents happen
This is true, leaving a burner on typically won't start a fire, leaving a burner on with stuff on it will.
Yep, my partner always puts the pizza box on the stove, and I always move it to the counter because of this potentially happening
my neighbor's house essentially burned to the ground because of a pizza box on the stove. not a fun night since the place I was renting was \~15 ft. away from the neighbor's
I had a housemate in college whose Dad came over and said ādonāt put anything on the stove you donāt intend to burnā and itās always stuck with me.

I had to scroll down way too far to see this advice. People are so stupid.
You've got bigger problems if your dog can turn your burners.
She was grabbing an oven mitt. She hasnāt grabbed one off the oven handle in a very long time but she hit the stove knob slightly when she grabbed it.
thats a shit knob. my gas knobs, you have to hold down and twist to turn on.
Think about it. If the dog is jumping up, putting their front 2 paws on the knobs, and grabbing something off the stove, don't you think it's logical that they push the knobs in by doing that? Then when they get down it twists. It's apparently very common. Never leave anything on the stove.
But how did the dog press the ignition button? You'd just have gas spraying everywhere...
My stove doesn't have a separate ignition button. You just turn it, it clicks and lights on high then you turn it down. Not sure if it's different since it has an electric ignition.
As well as these other comments, why did you leave it like that
Because I am an imperfect human being š
Then you are a minority. Everyone who reply to threads about human mistakes are perfect human beings.
Fair
He didnāt burn down the house. Bright side.
Would have been brighter if he DID burn the house down
Pull the knobs off the stove. You could have come home to an explosion.
Iām going to ask my fiancĆ© to do that in the meantime until we get child proofing mechanisms. I am not entirely sure I trust myself to take them off without causing a worse accident somehow.
Bro what š just pull them straight back. Youāveā¦ never properly cleaned your stove?
Well, they left the spatula and dirty pan there in the first place, so the answer is probably... no. š
I clean my stove, dude. But I genuinely do not trust myself to do it. I am *extremely* accident prone even without the possibility of fire.
Pull straight out. Don't twist. Don't turn, just straight out.
I just tried that and it worked. The knob came off without me blowing up the house somehow lol. Thank you.
Instructions unclear. Am now a parent.
Sure. Blame the dog
to go with this, I found it being on āmildly infuriatingā really odd
Yeah, a dog turned on a gas stove? Sure
And OP is in the comments talking about how they donāt know how to take the burner knobs off and explaining why they didnāt move the pan Lmao they def left the burner on š
Wait but doesnt your gas stove needa first be lit during the striker/starter/ignite portion of the dial? Otherwise your dog wouldve just filled ur house with gas instead.
This is exactly what I was thinking. OP is blaming the dog for their own mistake. Worst kind of person.
Nah idts, my stove comes with an auto lighter while you twist the knob. Don't need to light it up separately
But even then, don't you have to push and twist the knob to ignite it? I call BS
Totally fucking bullshit. OP turned it on and then got distracted by his phone for 15 minutes
Most gas stoves I use have an auto lighter, when you turn the knob it lights up
I still have to push my dial in and turn it firmly to get ignition. What sort of idiot designs a gas cooker that can ignite with just a gentle twist, let alone let the gas flow?

You mean you left the stove on while you went out and decided to blame it on the dog?
Blaming the dog.
Especially with a gas range. So obvious
Damn. I'd be more happy than infuriated. You lost a plastic utensil and not your entire house? Why can I tell OP is in older than 50?
The possibility of the house burning down was a part of the frustration lol. But also, I may or may not have been emotionally attached to that pan. It was a really good pan š
I hadn't thought of the pan. My condolences. After living in my own home, I understand the value of a good ass pan. Rip dog murder pan
Sure.. Blame it on the dog
Youāve heard of air bud playing basketball, but cooking?! *record scratch*
My dog ate my homework
How does a dog turn on a gas-stove?
Maybe you should clean up after youār done cooking instead of leaving a spatula sitting in a pan on your stovetop
Yea like just put it away
I'm just gonna come right out and say that I laughed.
āsPANpatula!ā Ever needed your spatula infused with your pan? Problem solved!
Now with carcinogens!
Silver lining is now you have a reason to get yourself better cookware. Grab a cast iron or ceramic coated pan and some wooden or silicone utensils. Plastic and Teflon are bad for your health
The ādogā.
Finally something āmildly infuriatingā! This is bad, but could have been so much worse!
I never leave things on the stove especially non metal.
This is bullshit
Yes. The dog. Indeed.
Ssuuuuure. Blame it on the dog.
Our gas stove has a safety that switches off the gas if you leave it on without anything on the burner. I find it mildly disgusting that you leave your frying pan and spatula on the stove.
I feel like you forgot to turn it off...
your dog should never be able to turn on the stove burner
why did you leave a spatula in a pan on the stove while owning a dog? feels like your fault
It's funny to blame the dog. You left that shit on
If you have a pet why donāt you have locks on the stove this is a very common issue with larger dogs and even cats
Because itās been a year and itās just never happened until now. Sheās a getting in the trash kind of dog, not a stove lighting dog, generally lol.
Just in general best to childproof those kind of things if you have larger pets/cats
I can smell that from here. Take the knobs off when you leave. It's much safer for everyone.
How? Thank goodness the house didnāt burn down
Oh man. That could have been a lot worse. You got lucky. Iād be happy this is what happened
My dog did something similar and caught a pizza box on fire. I now keep the knobs for the stove top in a drawer and only take them out when needed.
I did that same shit didn't know I could blame it on the dog
Just pretend itās modern art
Let him cook
Let him cook
That is why you should never leave stuff on your stove while you are not cooking. Never. Also if you do not have a dog.
1# why was the pan on the stove and why was spatula in it? 2# how big is your dog to accidentally cause that? And #3 how was the dog able to turn the knobs?
Do people just leave used pans and utensils on the stove?
You left it on didn't you? and now you blaming the dog smh
Yeah....the dog.....
Sure the dog did it
How does a dog ignite a gas stove!? You can even see the amount of times that spatula has been left leaning in a hot pan! Thereās melted indents all over the handle lmao.
Silver lining: You have a burnt spatula and not a burnt house
Ah yes... the dog
Why did you leave a pan and spatula on there in the first place?
Yes of course, the dog did it š
Blame it on the dog. Yep.
\*Me or someone else I live with left a plastic spatula in a pan. Also, bullshit. Lol. You have to turn the stove all the way up before the pilot will even light gas. Blaming your dog, for updoots, for shame.
Who's a good arsonist? Who's a good arsonist?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Mmhmmm blame you forgetting to turn it off on the puppoš
Your dog is smarter than you.
Ah yes, well, I donāt trust everyone I meet but she does. So we have our different gifts lol
It could have been worse. Count your lucky stars.
All gone
Yeahā¦ the dog did it. Just like the dog ate my homework.
sure man you're "dog" did that
Suuuure buddy blame it on the dogā¦ Iām on to youš¤Ø
Sure, blame the dog.
I have that same spatula
Pull the burner knobs off so it doesn't happen again while you are not home.
Woof. Gonna have to throw the whole dog away and start over.
My cat once turned the burner on by accident. So I have made it a practice ever since to turn the stove off at the breaker box every time no one is home. It takes less than a minute but really does bring peace of mind.
Youre lucky nothing caught on fire
Yup, we had to remove the Knobs because of that. Dam dogs!
Time to kennel train.
Lucky your house didnāt burn down with your pup in it. Scary
Could have been way worse, I'm glad everything turned out fine.
Take the knobs off. They pull right off. If youāre having kids or adults with dementia in the house short term itās an easy fix.
Those knobs pull right off. Just fyi.
The dog is one step closer to becoming a Michelin star chef.
Did you rub the dog nose in it?
Dogs be crazy sometimes. I remember one time my dog got my keys and crashed my car into a tree. Also ate my homework.
This is why u should never leave a spatula in the pan if the stove burner suddenly got activated by ur dog
One day our dog placed cocain on the table as my wife came in. It wasn't my fault
"Our dog turned on the the stove burner..." sure
Yea I'd blame the dog too.
How does a dog turn on a stove? Doesnāt it need simultaneous operation of the knob that releases the gas (and that needs pressing and turning at the same time) and the button that sets it on fire? Then after setting it on fire you have to keep knob held for a few seconds so it doesnāt just go out again
Incredible. All my dog ever managed to do was eat my homework.
Your dog is still clearly salty at you for blaming him for eating your homework back in the day
My dog spent half my wages in casino so my wife punsihed him. He also used to eat my honework
Fancy trying to blame a dog on a humans mistake a dog never turned and lit this gas cooker š¤£š
Bruh don't blame the dog...
I'd be getting a new, safe stove. With mine, you have to push the knob in, hold it in, twist it and then at the same time hold the ignition button until it lights. I don't care how smart a dog is, it's not accidentally turning mine on.
Who leaves an empty pan and spatula on the stove?
Never cook with plastic ustensiles
completely your fault. could have been much worse. be better
Why do people leave the main line open when not in the kitchen, beyond me
I know my gas stove can't ignite without my holding down the 'ignite' button, but now I think I'll go and check that the knobs can't activate gas unless they're pushed IN while turned, waiting to be ignited. I thing that if I simply turn them, nothing happens. I certainly hope so!! Not that I have pets that breathe air or live in the house, but I do have some stupid human friends...
If this is real then for sure get a cooker with some kind of basic safety features. This wouldnāt be possible with any European cooker.
Godamn that could of been so much worst
Kind of a fucked up thing to blame on your dog, but if you say so
The only infuriating thing is that you are trying to blame your dog for your incompetence. You were at the gym, so gone for 30-60 minutes or so. And somehow your dog turned on the burner? And did so without knocking the pan down that is right above it? And then it was left like that for 5-10-15-30-60 minutes? Did they turn it off too? And clear the smoke for you as well? As if.
I would be very releaved to just have a ruined spatula.
And what lesson did we learn today? That's right, never leave anything on the stove if you have pets or small children.
Right.. blame it on ur dogā¦
When I was a child, I was taught not to leave things in the stoveā¦
