[Electronics-Talk] accessible electric stoves

[Gerald Levy]

Seriously?  No, I don't think there are any smart electric stoves on the 
market that can connect with a smart speaker or otherwise have built-in 
speech output to announce the temperature settings of the stovetop 
burners.  If using an electric stove with flattop burners is difficult 
for you, you could buy an inexpensive, two burner electric hot plate 
which has coil burners and simple rotary knobs to set the temperature. 
They  cost about $30 on Amazon.
