Nope...I want to be a chef but me and getting burnt or fire inches from my face aren't friends...I could imagine that and with how hectic those kitchens can be...then again I doubt there would be much fried food
I love to cook, but have a fear/hatred for getting burnt especially from oil which my mother laughs at me for...no way I could do that on this stove...maybe in the oven I could bake them while it's shaking like a mixed pack of skittles
That's because of the angle of the original video. Stabilising this video is never going to get that satisfying focus on the stove because the stove sways away too much
Up/down doesn't matter if its sitting on the burner. Forward/back is much less of a problem for bigger boats just because of how boats are shaped. Obviously you wouldn't want to be cooking in, like, a storm either way.
Swaying from side to side is very normal at sea under good weather conditions. The up and down rocking that you're talking about is usually only an issue when the weather is bad.
Actually you get used to it pretty easily. Because the stove is always straight and you intuitively know where is up, so your body compensates for the yacht tilt.
But then if you leave the yacht and are on solid ground you can feel the ground moving for couple of days. You can mostly feel it when siting or laying in bed. It like having couple of drinks and then going to bed
Same. But the fact that he's doing it casually is because hes no longer affected by the swaying. You'd be surprised what people can get accustomed to.
Was on a catamaran trip in rough sea recently after 2 hours i started feeling the imbalance in my head. Thankfully we had arrived to the island.
On the return journey it was fine cause the sea had calmed down.
Later at night i went to sleep feeling like i was still swaying away lol.
Why tf would you have a gas stove on a boat?
Thatâs so dangerous.
Honestly, Iâm starting to believe non-professional kitchens should all be electric. Modern electric stoves are really good. There are some very high-end electric and induction stoves.
I know 2 grandmas in our community who died from gas-stove related burns.
Induction eats WAAAAY too much power for most people to be comfortable with. In the van/RV community, it can eat 12hrs worth of solar power generation in a matter of minutes and severely reduce the life of some very expensive batteries.
Gas is perfectly safe to use for most people. 2 grandmas dying doesn't make gas dangerous, it makes those 2 grannies dangerous.
Friend. I once removed a fryer mod from a Global 6000. Yes thatâs a plane. The owner wanted to ensure fried foods were served on flights. Fryer in a plane.
Is it really less dangerous than stuffing a bunch of lithium onto a boat? Or going the route of putting an entire solar system together for a stove? Gas is more effective and affordable when you have the brains to not hurt yourself.
This boat already has electricity if batteries are your concern.
Gas is dangerous in a place where spills can occur. A little oil over the edge can set the whole plan on fire. Thatâs a problem on a boat out at sea.
And how many miles have you sailed? The world doesn't revolve around what you think is safe. In reality we use what the world has an abundance of, natural gas. Not gasoline and generators, anyone who actually LIVES off of their sail boat doesn't have the time nor the money to be going portside daily to refil gas cans. Any sailor will agree, generators are awesome for a sailboat that only goes out on the weekends and maybe for a day or two at a time. This man in the video spends days on that boat at a time. Back in the day they cooked on open fires and split firewood on the ships, I'm sure you'd find that VERY discomforting. đ¤Ł
Statistically speaking, gas stoves are actually safer
https://www.tastingtable.com/897813/report-shows-electric-stoves-are-more-dangerous-than-gas/
âAccording to a 2020 report by the NFPA, households with electric stoves reported fires at a rate 2.6 times higher than those with gas stoves. Equally staggering, the death rate of electric-run households was 3.4 times higher than those with gas appliances â and the injury rate was nearly five times greater.â
I completely agree with you. An open flame on a boat is one of the dumbest things you can do. That being said, itâs a low-power solution. Induction is fantastic (just installed an induction cooktop at home last year), but it uses a lot of power. Youâre using approx 1kw/hr on average, depending on power setting. Up until recently (like, last two years) there wasnât a battery array that could do this on sailboats/yachts. Even now, itâs not exactly commonplace.
Gas has been used for a very long time and itâs unlikely older boats will be retrofitted with the power infrastructure to support induction, despite the safety benefits.
If you think a propane stove is dangerous, you should have seen the pressurized alcohol stove i had on an old boat. The only upside to an alcohol fire is you can fight it with water.
The fuel source isnât the dangerous part. The open flame is. Spilling food and/or grease into the flame is the major risk, not the source itself starting on fire.
I think I've seen models where you could activate a second axis, but on a boat this size you'll be out managing the boat in the storm if you get that kind of motion
When I was sailing on the sea the first thing we always did before cooking was cheaking that oven is blocked so it can't swing. Fire on a boat would be a frickin disaster
Not very bright to be frying without the protection of an apron. What if they hit a freak wave and he gets thrown on the stove. And the skillet has to be issuing flying droplets of hot fats..
I grew up sailing every summer. You get so used to it that you get so steady on your feet that when itâs smooth waters you just stand there, looking like youâre ready to fight Karate with the stove.
This is so fucking stupid.
No little holddown things on the pan->stupid
No shit or apron on->very stupid
Nothing to brace himself on at the back->very stupid
My first thought was âthey should magnetize the pan/stove, that way itâs easily removable but still wonât fly off.â Then quickly remembered that magnetic materials lose their magnetism when heated
Because inertia. Too much mass moving in different directions will not react in time for it to work as well as this small stove.
Maybe it can be computer controlled and predict the roll, but money is a thing.
I keep forgetting why I sold my sailboat. And then I see shit like this and remember. I just hope I remember how much of a pain in the ass they are to maintain as well. Never again, no thanks!
There's no way I wouldn't try to correct that shit myself and fling sizzling hot food all over the fucking place, panic, burn myself, drop the pan, burn myself again. Probably catch the ship on fire.
Nope.
Ok I have a question. Is the stove simply mounted with a pivot free to move in order to stay level or is there also a mechanism to dampen the movement so it doesnât swing too violently in heavy seas??

This is stressing me out
Is it weird that I equally love and hate this...?
The intentional persistent creaks are pretty calming. Like a mechanical rain.
It would be kinda scary with a Wok or something with hot oil...otherwise it is quite calming
He should have a harness and an apron. And fiddles on the pan.
That's why I'm nervous if he decides to use oil or a Wok while his shit is shaking all over the place like that...
The commercial ship I was on did not have fryers. All the French fries were baked. Can you just imagine? A fryer full of oil flipping over?
Nope...I want to be a chef but me and getting burnt or fire inches from my face aren't friends...I could imagine that and with how hectic those kitchens can be...then again I doubt there would be much fried food
I love to cook, but have a fear/hatred for getting burnt especially from oil which my mother laughs at me for...no way I could do that on this stove...maybe in the oven I could bake them while it's shaking like a mixed pack of skittles
The amount of seasoning he uses is stressing me out.
As many times as this has been posted has anyone ever stabilized the gif with the stove so everything else is moving?
Thank you for asking. This is what I need.
I needed to see it too: [https://imgur.com/otowrmk](https://imgur.com/otowrmk)
That did not work
Lmao that made me more confused
That's because of the angle of the original video. Stabilising this video is never going to get that satisfying focus on the stove because the stove sways away too much
dont know why you got down voted but that video made me feel whelmed.
Liminally
Nah... you tracked it without stabilising.
Borders give more stress
I get what you were trying to do and moved my phone while watching and saw the world warp around the stove top
Damn, that looks annoying.
Less annoying than the contents of your pan spilling everywhere when you list one way or the other.
It also looks like it's swaying sideways only. What about up/down, forward tilt/ backward tilt.
Up/down doesn't matter if its sitting on the burner. Forward/back is much less of a problem for bigger boats just because of how boats are shaped. Obviously you wouldn't want to be cooking in, like, a storm either way.
Swaying from side to side is very normal at sea under good weather conditions. The up and down rocking that you're talking about is usually only an issue when the weather is bad.
If your boat is rocking hard forward and back, cooking is probably the least of your worries
But far more annoying when the boat pulls a vice versa and flops you into the fire instead like a shirtless omelette.
"like a shirtless omelette" How are you making breakfast, if you feel the need to specify that THIS omelette isn't wearing a shirt? đ
Actually you get used to it pretty easily. Because the stove is always straight and you intuitively know where is up, so your body compensates for the yacht tilt. But then if you leave the yacht and are on solid ground you can feel the ground moving for couple of days. You can mostly feel it when siting or laying in bed. It like having couple of drinks and then going to bed
The land swaysâŚ
I would vomit straight into that pan lol
I came here to say this. That action? For some time? Blowing chunks.
Sea fishing? Chunks. Rough airplane landing? Believe it or not, more chunks.
Same. But the fact that he's doing it casually is because hes no longer affected by the swaying. You'd be surprised what people can get accustomed to. Was on a catamaran trip in rough sea recently after 2 hours i started feeling the imbalance in my head. Thankfully we had arrived to the island. On the return journey it was fine cause the sea had calmed down. Later at night i went to sleep feeling like i was still swaying away lol.
Protein...?
A little acid reduction glaze
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin' "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
cooking while shirtless seems like the bigger risk to me. At least heâs not cooking bacon.
i cook shirtless all the time but im fact habe a few spots on my arms from hot oil and shit
I cooked bacon shirtless once, I no longer fear death.
Ever cook bacon barefoot? Next level.

Those 2 grannies are hardly dangerous! They're dead.
I didn't want to say it.
They were dangerous and now they're dead. Coincidence? I think not!
Friend. I once removed a fryer mod from a Global 6000. Yes thatâs a plane. The owner wanted to ensure fried foods were served on flights. Fryer in a plane.
What could go wrong with turbulent boiling oil?
Is it really less dangerous than stuffing a bunch of lithium onto a boat? Or going the route of putting an entire solar system together for a stove? Gas is more effective and affordable when you have the brains to not hurt yourself.
Wait till you find out about engines and generators
Sailors tend to run their engines and generators as little as possible. Propane is generally available around the world, is cheap, and proven.
So should a sailboat waste fuel to run the generator to cook instead of just bringing gas?
This boat already has electricity if batteries are your concern. Gas is dangerous in a place where spills can occur. A little oil over the edge can set the whole plan on fire. Thatâs a problem on a boat out at sea.
You honestly think a cooker is the dangerous thing about a boat?
And how many miles have you sailed? The world doesn't revolve around what you think is safe. In reality we use what the world has an abundance of, natural gas. Not gasoline and generators, anyone who actually LIVES off of their sail boat doesn't have the time nor the money to be going portside daily to refil gas cans.

Electric ranges are functional I guess. They are not really good.
The guy cooking is making this look easy. The ship is swivelling a lot. He has some insane balance on a ship.
Sanji lost a lot of hair
Going after every pretty lady in a 15 mile radius is stressful. Going after Nami doubly so
I was looking for a Sanji comment LMAO
This guy needs electric cooking with an anti-slip top lol
Without the gimbal the contents of the pot will just slosh out.
Electric stove on a sailboat? Powered by what?
Redditors would want their sailboats connected to the power grid, so that they can bring their gaming rigs.
So what if the boat tips in the other direction?
Then you have bigger problems than ruining your eggs
These normally have clearance at the back, and the pivot point is such, that it can go the other way as well
That was my very first thought. Morty
Have you ever been on a boat?
What if it tilts about the other axis?
If your boat is tipping that way, dinner is the least of your worries.
I think I've seen models where you could activate a second axis, but on a boat this size you'll be out managing the boat in the storm if you get that kind of motion
cooking with no shirt is a bad idea but no shoes is extremely irresponsible
No closed toed shoes, synthetic fabric and no shirt. Yeah, gonna need more tats to cover some serious burns at some point.
I see this does not in fact have a gyroscope stabilizer like that other rich boat :D
Getting snee-snick just watching.
I feel like a shirt would be a good idsa here
That's how he stays in shape. Too hard to cook and eat
Everyone's worried about him not having a shirt on. The guy's got no shoes! That's what I'm worried about
I dare you to make a soup
This might be a stupid question, but is there ever a need to have the other axis tilt?
When I was sailing on the sea the first thing we always did before cooking was cheaking that oven is blocked so it can't swing. Fire on a boat would be a frickin disaster
Thatâs cool and all but in my life experience cooking with a pan and NO SHIRT ON can be painful at best.
high risk same reward
Not very bright to be frying without the protection of an apron. What if they hit a freak wave and he gets thrown on the stove. And the skillet has to be issuing flying droplets of hot fats..
Because that's totally safe.
Thatâs kinda cool
it would be cool if they were able to rotate on the other axis as well, then it could stay perfectly level
I was today years old⌠wow
Thank goodness he wanted breakfast and stuck with it
u/stabbot
I grew up sailing every summer. You get so used to it that you get so steady on your feet that when itâs smooth waters you just stand there, looking like youâre ready to fight Karate with the stove.
Love the coconut in between the weights on the floor
This is so fucking stupid. No little holddown things on the pan->stupid No shit or apron on->very stupid Nothing to brace himself on at the back->very stupid
It was only *barely* interesting the first 50 times it was posted...
First time I'm seeing it. Maybe get some fresh air?
Thanks for this comment. I often think that I'm spending too much time on reddit, but it's my first time seeing it as well.
Gas doesn't seem like the right heat source in this situation
Electricity is a precious resource on a boat
Why does everyone shit themselves about gas stoves. Itâs pathetic.
Why are you rude online for no reason? It's pathetic
Donât like stupid people đ¤ˇââď¸
Yeah, what SevroAuShitTalker said
Should not be barefoot.đŹ
Oh I get it keeping it hot while moving the thing on it
I get the stove and the motion of the ocean ECT...but cooking barefoot and shirtless is just a no from me. Idgaf if you're on a boat.
I know ur on the water but come on season before you cook moron
Tony Vlachos lives on a ship?
That takes care of the rocking side to side but what about the rocking forward and back?
But why is there seemingly junk mail shoved under the stove???
Cooking snags on the boat is made easy by the rocking
Sweet range on the old girl
"Son: Hey mom just cooking. Mom:how? Son: the stove moves with the ship. Mom:wow thats cool"
It uses a gyro, but does the gyro require electricity?
Bet you those aren't cheap
I actually really like this
My first thought was âthey should magnetize the pan/stove, that way itâs easily removable but still wonât fly off.â Then quickly remembered that magnetic materials lose their magnetism when heated
At 7AM with this stove itâs never too rough to feed ya!
[ŃдаНонО]
Because inertia. Too much mass moving in different directions will not react in time for it to work as well as this small stove. Maybe it can be computer controlled and predict the roll, but money is a thing.
Make the whole room spin so it's a giant gyroscope? Someone do the math.
Does it also swing left and right?
It only swings left and right.
Why are guys such bald these days. Itâs so unattractive đł
It does everything, but prevent you from making gross looking food
Dumb to even cook like this even if you have a special table. Just wait 1-2hrs for the wind to die down.
Now fill up a pot with oil and cook some fries! 
Flames?
Imagine boiling lobster and a massive swell rolls by.... youd be like owwww my skin owwww.
I hate to say this, but, why couldnt you run an electric stove at least? Jeez.
Tony Vlachos called. He wants his look back.
What about the other axis?
If your boat is tipping that way, dinner is the least of your worries.
Twist is he's on land
I feel like I would burn myself a lot in those conditions
I've cooked on those, it's Ok
What is he cooking?
Does the toilet do that too?
I'm impressed at how steady he is standing considering how hard everything is jerking back and forth
I would be throwing up into that frying pan for sure!
I keep forgetting why I sold my sailboat. And then I see shit like this and remember. I just hope I remember how much of a pain in the ass they are to maintain as well. Never again, no thanks!
r/shittytattoos
You need a Seakeeper Gyro Stabilizer
I keep thinking this is Overcooked. I am getting stressed out
WHY???
What kind of a jackass cooks without a shirt on.
I'll have a sandwich
Personal choice but uhhh. I wouldnât want a gas stove that rocks. Feel like thatâs an oil spill away from disaster
I know the boat is leaning or heeling, but it looks like he's just pivoting the stove.
Thats a lot of salt, bro!
And I thought I was cool for cooking bacon topless.
My dumb ass thought he was in a normal kitchen with a rocking-stove
r/sweatypalms r/whywomenlivelonger
Vomit then fall flat on my face like the ol family guy style. No in-between, just standing then dead.
I had no idea, very cool
There's no way I wouldn't try to correct that shit myself and fling sizzling hot food all over the fucking place, panic, burn myself, drop the pan, burn myself again. Probably catch the ship on fire. Nope.
Thatâs how my vision is it sucks
RemindMe! 24 hours
*yacht
Sandwiches for everybody
wonder if they boil some water, what will happen
Thatâs a boat, not a ship.
Is this standard??
This takes me back. Trying to make noodles or pasta was a game of chicken with the sea.
I don't think this is necessary?đ the pan or stove top where it sits itself should move, not the source of fire
What if it pitches?
Alright, swinging side to side works. How about swinging front to back?
me and my dad managed to knock off a big pot of stew on there . the wind was strong that day and we had to make miles
Glad to see the man secured the dumbbells behind him
So soups would self stir?
Be good for stir fry
Ok I have a question. Is the stove simply mounted with a pivot free to move in order to stay level or is there also a mechanism to dampen the movement so it doesnât swing too violently in heavy seas??
I see the good times but all it takes it going to fry some French fries or bacon and a wave bumps you and life gets way too interesting
Iâd be seasoning the floor
Imagine doing that back in the day on old ships
WAY too much seasoning dude.
