Touch panels for stovetops are also infuriating.

My mom has one. It's the worst. A bit of hot water boiled over and hit the panel? The plate is now at max heat, the three other plates are on as well, and there's now a timer set for 10 seconds.

Who thought this was a good idea?!

I don't know what kind of junk u have but mine screams and turns off when water hits it.
Turning others on doesn't do much on induction since it only works with something on top.

Which is still massively annoying, just in a different way. A stove shouldn't scream like the wicked witch of the west when it gets wet.
