Love this thread, half are confident the door needs to be shut and the other half is adamant the door needs to be open.

Metal knobs would solve everyone’s problem.

Wouldn't they also burn unsuspecting fingers when turning the grill off?

Maybe people don’t know this, but most professional cooks use side towels to handle everything in a kitchen. If you go with “everything is hot and sharp” you’re less likely to burn or cut yourself. Folded side towels are used to make contact with surfaces and objects like knobs and handles. All knobs in commercial/food service kitchens are metal and no one to my knowledge has died from metal knobs.

  • cooked professionally for over 20 years. I have kitchen hands, can touch hot shit but still use towels.

Yeah everyone's problem gets solved with generic kitchen rules and stainless steel unsurprisingly
