    dear oven designers: if there's only one hotplate in use (as is the case 99% of the time), why make the user specify which hotplate before they make an adjustment

    induction cooktop with capacitive controls and four seven-segment LED displays reading 0, 0, 0, and 5. a saucepan of water coming to boil on the active hotplate

    huh. turns out you can just use the +/- controls... but the first tap still acts as a "confirm selected hob" action... even when there's just one in use...

    saucepan now full of ravioli and display reading 0, 0, 0, 8. tapping "-" three times: the first tap dims the zeros, the second and third take the 8 down to 6

    @jackeric ive used one touch operated stove which would flip to a different temperature because a bit of liquid splattered from the pan onto the touch area. dangerous thing

    @jackeric Ours selects a hotplate when you put a saucepan down on it. But only if you've switched on the hob first and put the saucepan down second, not the other way around.
