I use all 4 burners at the same time at least every week, if not more often.

You must not cook very much.

It's not hard: boil water for pasta, potatoes, make a soup, and then cook a protein, and bake a cake. That's not a complicated meal - you could do than on any random day.

That isn't actually true, which you can tell for yourself by simply putting your hand near a fire, and a fire with a pot on it.

> bake a cake

I'm willing to bet most people don't bake cakes daily. When i cook it's usually 2, max 3 at the same time, even with a multi-course meal.

So therefor, it's fine if you now have a stove that can only heat 2 burners at once.

Why have the other burners at all? We could save so much space if we just had 2 burner stoves and no ovens since I never bake either. I do use the oven occasionally but occasionally is not enough excuse to have it I guess. Obviously no one even needs a stove at all, that's what restarants and grubhub are for right?
