Exactly, the best interface for kitchen-ware is physical knobs. I hate all those touch-surface buttons that usually come integrated on stoves like this. They have no feedback and they fail to react more often than they do.
- 54mf 15y agoSeconded. Cooking and touch screens should be as far apart as possible. The kitchen is an environment full of potential disasters for such an interface: food everywhere to gunk up the device, heavy / hot / wet objects to destroy it, wet / dirty / sticky fingers (okay, okay, let's [try to] be grown-ups) to prevent proper touch detection, and so on. I love the idea of an iPad in the kitchen, for example, but only as a screen (preferably interacted with via voice) and not as a functional device.

- tptacek 15y agoIf you cook all day, or cook lots of things at once, being able to reliably adjust power levels without looking at the controls is a huge win. That's just a fundamental problem with touch interfaces.
