This is why I'm all in for non-"smart crap", I don't even have inductive heating stove top because they never have basic knobs.

Long clicking on [3] then + + + + + + to boil your f eggs? No thanks.

That is a horrible argument.

Just get a non shit induction stove

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah I guess I'll consider it one day when they will be cheap enough, but now even the stupid-UI ones are fairly expensive and the knob ones quite expensive (thanks for all induction knob pists btw ๐Ÿ˜).

My mom has an induction stove that has knobs.

Definitely a thing, Miele even has a device filter for that feature.

[-] philpo@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

Neff has a (magnetic/removable*) knob as well. (* Which is a great idea in theory. Unless you have kids. First it's great because they can't start the cooktop on their own. But then you are constantly looking for the knob. A friend nearly got insane...His daughter "accidentally" took the whole fucking thing on a schooltrip to France....HOW? That's why I have the Siemens one with touch.... It's okayish touchwise and it works...)

Miele is never cheap but nobody ever paid suggested retail either, I'm sure.

It's just on and then hold b for boost now. It automatically detects which slot you have placed your pan on and selects that for you. But I get your point...

Induction is great ๐Ÿ‘

A lot of them have a terrible UI. But that's far from all of them. Enough have sliders. Sometimes one with a pan detection. Sometimes a slider per area.

I just bought one of these! First press on, then wait a second for the pan to be detected, then select the burner to turn on, then + which sets it to 5/10, then press + 5 more times for full power! The one with knobs was like double price...but hey the pan heats up quick while you are cursing at it.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

If it detects the pan, why do you need to tell it which burner to use?

[-] ShieldsUp@startrek.website 3 points 7 months ago

It will light up an indicator for each pan detected, so if 2 pans are on the stove you still need to activate the one you want. Assuming you don't want both on.

Maybe you have a pot you leave aside to cooldown.

[-] baru@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

There weren't any better options?

Did you try e.g. long pressing buttons, pressing -, or anything?

I had the +/- buttons ages ago (cheap alternative when renting). Never again.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Then one small drop of water (what is water doing in the kitchen??) touches the touch-surface and all goes beep beep beep while your pasta water slowly cools down...

I got the Frigidaire professional 36โ€ induction and it does have knobs ๐Ÿ˜Ž
