   I want to meet the idiot product designer who thought touch elements on kitchen equipment are a glorious idea.

     sounds like something that could either be an easy-to-clean heaven or an unreliable wreck to me

     @fribbledom I have been making plans for making a tabletop induction hob precisely so I can have an input system that isn't miserable to use while benefitting from the better energy efficiency.

     That and to avoid the horrid "one second on, several seconds off" heat control on lower settings which seems to plague all affordable induction stoves.

     @fribbledom my favorite part is when the indication of what the button is rubs off :)
