I’ve been successfully brainwashed by Thermador’s marketing materials for their Star Burner, their star-shaped gas stove burner that efficiently directs heat to the center of the pan. I had not paid much attention to gas burners before, and this collection of burners was enlightening. Artist Raymon Elozua has been collecting these for many years, often pulling them out of appliances abandoned on the streets of New York. Standing on their own they are indeed visually striking. And that Thermador burner loses its innovative edge. (A Yahoo daily pick)
