I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but not all refrigerators nowadays are magnetic. When going out shopping for one, bringing a small fridge magnet can help you easily rule some models out if you care about that.

    GOD i hate those fucking induction pieces of shit. And the beeping and the hidden buttons and if you put a pan wrong theres more beeping and BEEPING BEEPING BEEPING.

    jesus fucking christ give me a normal fucking dial I can operate with a twist of my wristwithout even looking, not whatever deranged failed dystopic bullshit that is! Spilled some water on it? INOPERABLE! BEEP BEEP BEEP! Must dry off and dry your hands before you can change the temperature- THAT’S SAFE!

    God I fucking hate capitalism’s neurotic perpetual drive to over engineer shit that was already perfectly engineered and worked flawlessly for a hundred years strictly because their fucking stock price is hinged on “innovation” (note: not improvement- innovation, sticking a dildo on top of your car is also innovation, hardly a fucking improvement)

    AAAAARRARARFAAHH I HATE EVERYTHING!

      I mean, if they would just give us a knob to turn on and off, I would be much happier with it. I really hate the capacitive touch buttons.

      or even if not a knob, just actual individual buttons to turn on and off the different eyes

      And it really does cook food almost as well as a gas range, and it boils water incredibly quickly.

      So while I definitely understand your rant for the simplicity of things that just work, I do have to give it up. There are a couple of niceties attached to induction stoves.

      if it’s an unsafe condition surely you would remove the object on the element before merely turning it down

      induction elements offer features that are not possible with hundred year old elements; eg vastly improved efficiency, which is sometimes the critical concern

      otherwise i agree, everything is shit
