  Physical knobs to turn instead of the tests of the limits of my patience that are capacitive buttons on a cooking device.

  Please and thank you.

    Aaand actual temperature control. Not just on/off 100% power.

      Ah yes, the duty cycling is annoying, too!

    Some induction stoves do have real knobs. Smeg makes one that I have not used so I can’t say anything about the quality, but I’m just happy that they exist.

      That’s an unfortunate company name. Especially for one that makes kitchen appliances.

        It’s an acronym for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla. They’re actually a pretty high end brand, but yes, the name is amusing

    Where in the hell do you live to see a power outage? I live in the EU and the longest power outage was for three hours when I was a child. That was the only one in my life.

      In the US, objectively the greatest country in the world (/s), you can expect a major power outage every other year, and it will be blamed on the very people who fucking called it.

        Last big one in my life was just a couple years ago, no power for two weeks. Greatest country in the world my ass.

    In my life I don’t think I’ve seen a power outage longer than a couple hours, and that was maybe once? I don’t even remember the last time I’ve seen one. Maybe experienced 10-15 in my whole life, with most lasting minutes.

    Am I just really lucky in my area? Or is this the experience most people have?

    Texans need not answer, I already know.

      it happens to me about once a year, where i lose power for like 2 days due to a snow storm

        2 days with no power? Damn! I can see the allure of gas much more in this situation

      I live in Seattle, and this has been my experience. Techno-city powered by dams = reliable

    As a backup for the induction cooktop I have a propane camping stove and a full gas cylinder. Last power outage when I actually needed it was in 2021.

    Benefits of induction greatly outweigh the minute possibility of the power going out.

      yes. i can agree, why plan for the 1% when the 99% would be more impactful. just really responding to the “what more could you want” to mention some benefits that other options have.
