With three things that can be switched on or off there are 7 state permutations (plus all off)
> It's awful.
The alternative being three separate toggle switches.
While this would be easier to scan and make a decision if you wanted granular decisions every time you cooked something, 90% of the time the oven will be set to the same setting; ALL ON. I think that having a single switch, rather than three is a more efficient UI for this.

The setting you might use to boil water is not the same one you'd use to cook an egg. Ditto for sautee versus cooking a steak. The problem is that the people designing UIs for products don't actually know how to use the products. They don't have any concept of how a user uses the UI. So they just assume that less is better without stopping to consider why someone would want to control the temperature of their stove.
