Cast iron stove: the heart of the house

A cast-iron range cooker embedded in a hearth. It is a heavy iron box, about one meter wide, with a thick enamel surface—creamy white, dark blue, or dark green. On top are two to four round cast-iron cover plates that lift to reveal the stove openings. Below are two to three oven doors, each with a different temperature. It is hot all day, serving as the kitchen's heater, a place to dry clothes, and a spot for the cat to sleep. Dishcloths hang on the horizontal bar in front of the range; pots hang on the rack above. The surrounding walls and tiles are slightly darker due to years of heat and oil. The image should depict this range and its naturally formed state of use. Avoid: using modern built-in electric appliances and ovens, clearing the area around the range and not hanging anything, using modern stainless steel and black glass panels, making the surrounding surfaces completely clean.

一台嵌在爐膛裡的鑄鐵長效爐。它是一個沉重的鐵箱,寬約一米,表面是厚厚的搪瓷——奶油色、深藍或墨綠;上面有兩到四個圓形的鑄鐵蓋板,掀開就是爐口;下方是兩到三個烤箱門,溫度各不相同。它整天都是熱的,因此也是廚房的暖氣、烘乾衣物的地方與貓睡覺的位置。爐前的橫桿上掛著擦手巾;上方的架子上掛著鍋。周圍的牆與磁磚因為長年的熱與油而顏色略深。畫面呈現這台爐與它周圍自然形成的使用狀態。避免:使用現代的嵌入式電器與烤箱、把爐子周圍清空不掛東西、使用不鏽鋼與黑色玻璃的現代面板、讓周圍表面完全乾淨。
