Doesn't the stop make it easier to go back to 0? Sure you have to turn it more, but you don't have to worry about accidentally going past 0 and leaving the stove on.
- Treblemaker 9y agoThat's another advantage of the mechanical knob: a large detent at "zero". Provides both tactile and acoustic feedback. So, no worries of turning past zero.
- henrikschroder 9y agoExactly, you solve the safety issue with a "groove", so it snaps to 0, and so you get tactile feedback that you did hit 0. Boom, done. No need for annoying stops.
- kqr 9y agoUnless, of course, you view the increase in force required to turb past zero as a sort of soft stop.
- homonculus1 9y agoThis safety feature is far more important than being able to go all the way to max instantly. But it could definitely be a one-way catch for quick turn-off: ___ _____ 0 \_| Max
