I seriously hate touch interfaces on appliances. Especially on cooking tops. Please stop it. It's not cool. It's not modern. It's a nuisance. Bring back physical dials and buttons.

@reina but isn't it cool how sleek and modern they are? and how they don't work if your hands are a little dirty? but certainly that never happens in the kitchen.

wait you didn't intend to *cook*, did you!?

🙃🙃🙃🙃

@tarajdactyl And how when I clean the cooking top, it startles me every time with an alarm that I have no idea why is sounding off? My guess is because it got wet?

Oh, and when you need to quickly turn the heat down but you need to first select the correct top, then press multiple times on this touch button that registers some of the time, all with no physical feedback while keeping your eyes on the food :^)

@reina 😳 that sounds truly heinous. i am so sorry.

@tarajdactyl Looked through the manual. Turns out it's because the control panel is either covered up or wet ... like ... come on ... if it gets wet when turned off, that's most likely because you're cleaning it ... it doesn't have to warn you about that!

Only solution is to turn off sounds, which would turn off all sounds, including useful ones ...

I'm just 25 but I feel old saying this; modern tech was a mistake ... Bring back the appliances from the 80s.

@reina that is super infuriating. luckily my stove is older than that, but still has some annoying touch buttons. it does helpfully have a "lock" feature for cleaning though
