And yet I still manage to accidentally press them when I don’t mean to. The other day I wished out loud that my stove had a button to turn on the buttons so the buttons would work when I want and not work when I don’t.

Maybe the next gen model will have a Button Button^TM and we will have reached peak absurdity.

Please, make it a switch. A touch button will never work there.

Ha! In an older flat I had a "lock" button on the stove. Touch button, of course. And for some reason, it would always register an inadvertent touch.

Of course, once locked, the buttons wouldn't work, but the lock light wasn't obvious enough.
