    As long as the knobs aren’t behind the burners I’m happy. Every time I have to reach behind a boiling pot to turn it to simmer I just hear “bad design” in the voice of the audio book narrator for The Design of Everyday Things

      I agree with induction where it can sense whether there is a pan but always thought the opposite with gas. Why do those burner knobs need to be reachable by toddlers?

      But some of the new front knob designs get ruined by steam from the oven opening getting inside.

      Why the hell that happens I do not know, but they moved the electronic parts there and steam ruins them.
