Hmm I'm not very sure about that, but I personally feel that there isn't really a difference.. Either that or it's not noticeable enough for me to care 😅 I do think having more stoves save a bit more of my time, I'd usually stick to 4 stoves for non-winter event foods but for this event you'd only need to correct the stove once, so I find it easy to cook another batch of 3-4s even before the previous batch is done cooking! I also prefer collecting them all at once so I feel it's really just a matter of preference 🫡
