I mean you really should wipe your stovetop off any time it gets greasy, that way it doesn’t build up so you don’t have a mess to deal with later. Even on an old one with knobs I’d advise that.
Some of the Gorenje Infinity series, don’t remember the model as I bought it second-hand. Here’s a very similar-looking one, Gorenje Infinity EC6INB, except mine has knobs facing front, not right:
Looks sick, works flawless, got in good condition for $50. Can’t complain.
Yep, still up. The unit is separate and doesn’t have the oven included, so it doesn’t have space for knobs that would point out.
But generally, they don’t interfere with anything, if only sometimes when I use a large skillet on front left burner with low settings, but I can just move the skillet a little and it works anyways, so, no big deal.
When exposed to atmospheric oxygen, pure metallic aluminum reacts almost immediately to form a dense, protective Aluminium oxide layer about 2 to 5 nanometers thick.
Induction rules but the touch controls that almost always come with them can fuck right off.

You can usually attach real knobs if you have the space (and permission)
Absolutely. Luckily, there are induction hobs with knobs (I personally own one), and I hope we’ll see more of them going forward.
I had to buy a used induction stove because they no longer sell new ones with physical knobs at a reasonable price.
Same. Somehow not having complex system of sensors and having a simple knob instead is a premium feature. I begin to see a pattern right there…
Cool! Can I ask which one you have?

Yeah, that looks awesome! I love the colors.
By front-facing, are the knobs still facing up from the face of the stovetop or do they point out like on a classic stove?

Here, this is how it looks IRL:
Thanks for the picture, appreciate it.
Also all my pots and pans are…aluminum
Are they anodised?
Ok, I’ll bite, what difference does anodizing make, and do you know what anodizing actually is.
Oxidises and creates a hard layer so the aluminium doesn’t leach or react with acids.
Wouldn’t oxygen in the air oxidize aluminum and create that layer regardless?
No
Explain.
They use electrolysis to make a 10 to 20 micron layer.
Your natural one would scratch straight through
Yes, they are modern aluminum, so no dangers. They just don’t work on induction.
We couldn’t possibly use these button things. They are secret arcane technology.
