It’s like EVs. A great paradigm shift in the underlying base technology, accompanied by puzzling interface and control designs that really detract from the enjoyability of the transition.

Induction has just gone from “cool, but for the rich folks” to simply an undisputed king of stovetops.
Much like solar and other green technologies.

Been for some time now.

Was still too expensive for many parts of the world until a few years ago.

Maybe. But these pots will life longer then myself. I am sure my grandkids will still be able to use them… and they aren’t even born yet

Induction rules but the touch controls that almost always come with them can fuck right off.

I mean you really should wipe your stovetop off any time it gets greasy, that way it doesn’t build up so you don’t have a mess to deal with later. Even on an old one with knobs I’d advise that.
Allero@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Absolutely. Luckily, there are induction hobs with knobs (I personally own one), and I hope we’ll see more of them going forward.

I had to buy a used induction stove because they no longer sell new ones with physical knobs at a reasonable price.

Same

Cool! Can I ask which one you have?
Allero@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Some of the Gorenje Infinity series, don’t remember the model as I bought it second-hand. Here’s a very similar-looking one, Gorenje Infinity EC6INB:

You can usually attach real knobs if you have the space (and permission)

Are they anodised?
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Ok, I’ll bite, what difference does anodizing make, and do you know what anodizing actually is.

We couldn’t possibly use these button things. They are secret arcane technology.
