I mean you really should wipe your stovetop off any time it gets greasy, that way it doesn’t build up so you don’t have a mess to deal with later. Even on an old one with knobs I’d advise that.
Some of the Gorenje Infinity series, don’t remember the model as I bought it second-hand. Here’s a very similar-looking one, Gorenje Infinity EC6INB, except mine has knobs facing front, not right:
Looks sick, works flawless, got in good condition for $50. Can’t complain.
Yep, still up. The unit is separate and doesn’t have the oven included, so it doesn’t have space for knobs that would point out.
But generally, they don’t interfere with anything, if only sometimes when I use a large skillet on front left burner with low settings, but I can just move the skillet a little and it works anyways, so, no big deal.
When exposed to atmospheric oxygen, pure metallic aluminum reacts almost immediately to form a dense, protective Aluminium oxide layer about 2 to 5 nanometers thick.
It’s like EVs. A great paradigm shift in the underlying base technology, accompanied by puzzling interface and control designs that really detract from the enjoyability of the transition.
Induction has just gone from “cool, but for the rich folks” to simply an undisputed king of stovetops.
Much like solar and other green technologies.
Induction rules but the touch controls that almost always come with them can fuck right off.

Absolutely. Luckily, there are induction hobs with knobs (I personally own one), and I hope we’ll see more of them going forward.
I had to buy a used induction stove because they no longer sell new ones with physical knobs at a reasonable price.
Same. Somehow not having complex system of sensors and having a simple knob instead is a premium feature. I begin to see a pattern right there…
Cool! Can I ask which one you have?

Yeah, that looks nice! By front-facing, are the knobs still facing up from the face of the stovetop or do they point out like on a classic stove?

Here, this is how it looks IRL:
Thanks for the picture, appreciate it.
You can usually attach real knobs if you have the space (and permission)
Also all my pots and pans are…aluminum
Are they anodised?
Ok, I’ll bite, what difference does anodizing make, and do you know what anodizing actually is.
Oxidises and creates a hard layer so the aluminium doesn’t leach or react with acids.
Yes, they are modern aluminum, so no dangers. They just don’t work on induction.
Wouldn’t oxygen in the air oxidize aluminum and create that layer regardless?
No
Explain.
We couldn’t possibly use these button things. They are secret arcane technology.
Been for some time now.
Was still too expensive for many parts of the world until a few years ago.
Maybe. But these pots will life longer then myself. I am sure my grandkids will still be able to use them… and they aren’t even born yet
