Cultural Note
In Brazil, stove burners are called 'bocas' (mouths). A 'fogão de quatro bocas' (four-burner stove) is standard, but larger families opt for 'seis bocas.' In rural areas, the traditional 'fogão a lenha' (wood-burning stove) is still used and prized for the flavor it gives to beans and rice.
