[Electronics-Talk] Flat top stove

[Carol Feazell]

In my opinion, the best flat top for a blind person is the induction burner
type. I say this because if the pan is not on the burner, it will not heat
and even if you get it half on, only half the surface will cook. You learn
approximately where the burners are, turn the stove on, place your hands
gently around the edges of the pan and feel it heat up and thus center the
pan according to what you feel. Only the burner gets warm, thus also making
boil-overs and such very easily cleaned. The down side is that you have to
have pans attracted to magnets since this is how they operate. Many pans now
say on them whether they are induction capable. Believe me, it is well over
it with time, so easy to keep clean. It has the quick response of gas
without the flame. The burners cool right down with the heat going to the
pan mostly. I got mine at Sears some years ago but, of course, Sears is
about a thing of the past but I do believe that most places carry them now.
Oh and a good way to check the induction capability if you don't see it on
the pan or package is to take a refrigerator magnet with you and apply it to
the bottom to see if it is magnetic. Happy cooking. Hope some of you try it.
It's wonderful.

Hi I wrote a poast about this topic a while back and I still have some 
more questions to ask.

My parents are looking for a new stove and my mom saw my aunt's stove 
and it's all a flat top.

How does a blind person know where the burners are and how can you use 
the flat top stove without burning your hand.

With regards to the stoves that run with the echo, which ones have any 
of you used that pair with the echo and how easy are they to use with the
echo?

Can you tell the echo to set the modes of the stove such as bake, broil 
and can you also use the echo to adjust the temperatures of the burners?

If anyone has any model numnbers or brand names then let me know.

Also if they are not able to find a flat top stove, are there still 
stoves that have physical knobs and burners that you can feel? If so 
then can someone email me some brand names?

You can email me off list at:

Thank you.
