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.

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:

Yeah, that looks nice! By front-facing, are the knobs still facing up from the face of the stovetop or do they point out like on a classic stove?

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

Ok, I’ll bite, what difference does anodizing make, and do you know what anodizing actually is.

Oxidises and creates a hard layer so the aluminium doesn’t leach

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

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.
