[Electronics-talk] tactile stove

[Snow White Dove]

Hi Ashley,

I thick they still make the old style stoves with the coil burners.

My flat top stove, which I got from Sears and was a Kenmore, had little lines to show where the burners were.  

I could feel those lines before I turned on the burners so I could place the pots correctly.

Mine only had one light though.  

I rarely used the light though.  I just let it go till I figured it was cool enough to touch.  I would place my hand over the burner and if it seemed cool enough, would tap my finger quickly on the burner to feel if it was cool enough.

those are my ply suggestions.
