What direction should the handle of a pot face on stove?

The handle of a pot on a stove should face away from the front of the stove, towards the back or the side. This is to:

* Prevent accidental burns: Having the handle facing the front makes it easy to bump into it and get burned, especially if you're working with hot oil or water.

* Allow for easier access: This placement gives you more space to work around the pot and makes it easier to stir or add ingredients.

* Maintain a clear path: Having the handle facing away prevents it from blocking other burners or interfering with other cooking activities.

Remember to always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot pots!
