Touch controls for burners are very dangerous in my opinion. What if i spill oil on the stove and touch screen? Now the oil might stop me from turning off the heat and the situation could quickly turn into a fire.

That's a thing? Holy shit... And here I thought the worst offender was Tesla's yolk steering wheel with a capacitive touch horn "button".

I’ve had similar situations happen before. Moved into this apartment in September. This stove will be the death of me.
