@koronkebitch if you start with a pan at zero degrees and you can show how to ra-holy shit my kitchen is on fire i have to go

@amy @koronkebitch

I hate* you for a) beating me to the joke and b) doing it better than I would have.

*not really

@koronkebitch modern induction stoves prove that buttons which break in response to water in an environment frequently involving water are (a) terribly unproductive and (b) wildly popular.
@ator @koronkebitch (c) the market forces of modern capitalism fail to deliver an obvious, better product for a tiny increase in price
@ator @koronkebitch the positions of various landlords and designers (or at least execs the designers have to answer to) could use some depopulating
@ator @koronkebitch These buttons are used for glass-ceramic stoves, too – and they are a real pain.
@ator @koronkebitch hmm. - I suspect that more modern implementations eschew buttons for capacitive switches, nicely sealed under the easy to clean high strength glass surface.
@ator @koronkebitch an induction stovetop with knobs would be a game changer
@koronkebitch Is this where I tell my usual joke about cooking with induction versus OKing with coinduction?
@pigworker yes please

@koronkebitch I fear that may have been it.

But I'm now planning to invent the coinduction freezer which keeps my ingredients always ok, to go with the induction stove which ensures that my ingredients eventually cook.

@koronkebitch that it's better than cooking with gas!
@kakurady @koronkebitch Meh, it might be if they gave you actual knobs!
@kakurady @koronkebitch Also the cheap cookware is /never/ compatible (presumably made of aluminum).
@Ylfingr @koronkebitch almost every cookware IKEA currently sells (save one) are induction compatible.
@Ylfingr @koronkebitch the lack of physical feedback for your input is a very annoying trend for induction cooktops, and even on induction ranges (combined cooktop-oven) the odds are 50-50 whether you'll get a knob or not.
@kakurady @koronkebitch sometimes you need fuel to make the induction work, though :(.
@koronkebitch Induction stoves are much better than assumption stoves.
@koronkebitch that meat cooks without fire

@koronkebitch When you put a piece of aluminium foil on it, it proves paramagnetism.

Haven't you tried it?

@koronkebitch How completely clueless ableds can be on #DisabledAccessibility because that's all I've seen it advertised as being ... And it seems not matter how much it's explained how these things are even worse than normal stoves, it doesn't stop said nonsense being repeated that they're helpful.
@BrahmaBelarusian @koronkebitch huh, why is that? Genuinely curious, I tried looking it up but didn't find anything

@hazelnot @koronkebitch The frequent claim set is that they're better for disabled & seniors because if you touch, with a finger or elbow or another body part, where it heats the pot or pan it won't burn you & it's smooth surface will also be easier for disabled people to handle but at best that's only a little true for cleaning said stoves. It practice it makes them regularly more hazardous as we can too easily slip the pan/pot of hot food/liquid right off the burners & onto our flesh & clothes. They also take longer to cook things, which adds trouble for many subgroups of #disabled, who don't have the energy for waiting/cooking longer.

Overall if this was put in my home & all our other cooking equipment was removed/blocked in use, at most it'd take 3 days before my spouse & I would both be injured (burns mostly) by our attempting to carefully use it. This is why when (& thankfully it's rare) I get "nudged" pushed to consider these in person, I generally first look at them in ways that should be clear I question their competence & then power walk as fast as I can away from said person & item at showrooms.🙃

@BrahmaBelarusian @koronkebitch oh oof I see

Makes sense

@hazelnot @koronkebitch Oh & the burns would be if I could get the thing to turn on at all, buttons like those I can get to work on devices at best 6 months of every year, but then if I got my spouse to turn it on than with at least a 90% certainty I'd have a set of burns from that meal making attempt, which is why they're just such an obvious danger set that I'd never attempt using them.😐
@BrahmaBelarusian @koronkebitch To be fair the touch buttons aren't universal for this kind of stove, the one I have has the same kind of knobs as a gas stove would. No idea how those are for accessibility though
@koronkebitch what the hell is that design? Can't they see the surface is gonna be HOT after some time??
@fujiyamasamoyed @koronkebitch glass-ceramic is surprisingly good at keeping it cool where there is no heat applied https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-ceramic
Glass-ceramic - Wikipedia

@koronkebitch That Mrs. Hudson cooks a mean full-english breakfast?
@koronkebitch that you shouldn't put hot or cold stuff into the control panel 
@koronkebitch the proof is in the eating ..
@koronkebitch your bread, so fast that the yeast dies

@koronkebitch

This would give a better joke in Spanish, because "probar" means both "prove" and "taste" (as in when we taste food to see if it's good).

@koronkebitch thanks needed this in my life tbh
@koronkebitch that putting the controls in the glass panel as capacitive buttons is terrible UX
@koronkebitch look all I'm saying is just because I burned my hand last time that doesn't mean it'll always happe-OW
@koronkebitch am i stupid wat does this mean lol
@koronkebitch I don’t get the joke 😅. Mum and I have a similar induction hob at home, though with the controls further away from the burners, and it’s been working fine for us for over a decade now.
@koronkebitch induction stove: aka my laptop when an automated theorem prover is using 100% of its cpu for 2 minutes trying to find an inductive proof
@koronkebitch the proof is in the pudding
