Touch controls for burners are very dangerous in my opinion. What if i spill oil on the stove and touch screen? Now the oil might stop me from turning off the heat and the situation could quickly turn into a fire.

That's a thing? Holy shit... And here I thought the worst offender was Tesla's yolk steering wheel with a capacitive touch horn "button".

I’ve had similar situations happen before. Moved into this apartment in September. This stove will be the death of me.

That's why they have spill detection. Try pouring water over the touch controls. It should beep, then turn off. It's not a good solution or better than a knob, but better than nothing. Except your spill doesn't flow over the controls. Then good luck.
