    You mean in the space where I have a drawer full of cooking utensils and herbs? Because my induction top is only as high as my countertop. I much rather have the touch buttons than lose that space.

    I will say I specifically bought an AEG because it has a slider. I can set it to 1 from 10 with one button press.

    There’s nothing worse than having to press the minus-button 10 times when your pot is cooking over.

      As long as the knobs aren’t behind the burners I’m happy. Every time I have to reach behind a boiling pot to turn it to simmer I just hear “bad design” in the voice of the audio book narrator for The Design of Everyday Things

        I agree with induction where it can sense whether there is a pan but always thought the opposite with gas. Why do those burner knobs need to be reachable by toddlers?

          Keep the knobs in a child safe drawer when not in use until the kids are old enough to know better. Reaching through steam is a burn risk as is reaching over hot oil.

        But some of the new front knob designs get ruined by steam from the oven opening getting inside.

        Why the hell that happens I do not know, but they moved the electronic parts there and steam ruins them.
