You get them with knobs: https://www.smeg.com/cookers/electric

Spilling have to be a gas thing? I experience it maybe once every three months on a induction oven (what I have at home).

I hated the gas oven when I studied in US, impossible to control the temperature accurately and boilover almost every time. Not even any faster.

If you're not spilling, you're not cooking hard enough. :)

Gas does provide easier temperature regulation, as the change is (a) instantaneous; and (b) infinitely fine-grained compared to the average "levels" of an induction stove.

A good gas burner also puts out a more consistent heat pattern, as opposed to the "ring of burning" that is common to most induction cooktops.

But for most things, induction is good enough, and I appreciate the day-to-day versatility of "just wipe it down".

Suggesting Smeg to someone concerned with quality undermines your point.
