Can we agree that touch control instead of knobs is worse UX for often-used functionality?

https://ztove.com is the way I fixed that.
Also, a touch where you can just touch the setting you want is WAY better than touch buttons, but yes. Knobs > touch

Ztove - The cooking system that gives you control of temperatures

At Ztove we develop cookware with built-in temperature sensors that connect with a Ztove cooktop. With this you get to control temperatures.

@ami I don't get it. How would cookware fix, that in order to use this stove, you need to touch the stove top—when it was drilled into us from childhood on that we should never do that? Or that you can't turn this off when something boils over?
Also, I have recently invested into cast-iron cooking ware, now I never want to have anything else, and why did it take me so long? (FTR, I have always hated, and never used, coated pans. But I only had one cast-iron pan, and zero pots.)

As with everything it is not a perfect solution.
The stove is Bluetooth enabled, as is the cookware, so you need to turn the cooktop on and start the plate you want, but then everything is controlled using the app, so you will not have to regulate using the controls, as it is set to a temperature, not a level.

Using other cookware you can set the power from the app, but the temperature sensor is in the pots and pans.

@ami The next-to-last thing on earth I want is a Bluetooth-enabled stove.

OK, I'll bite, what is the last thing?
A Teflon pan?😃

@ami The consumer product I want the least is an Internet-enabled TV.
I've been living without a TV for... *counts on his fingers* ...more than 35 years, so having such a beast seems appalling to me all by itself. Allowing the company which makes them to install their unmaintained Web SW in my living room in order to spy on me takes the cake, though.
Teflon pans are pretty high up on my unwanted list, of course. In that case, though, because I have experience with them. Bad experience.
