This is so American - to provide (dangerously) high power (great for marketing materials!) and then put it behind a crap interface that gets your kid burned by boiling sauce or spattering oil or whatever. RISKS of inappropriately complex and unresponsive control interfaces.

I'm in Europe and the induction cooktops are the same here. There are a few models with actual dials/knobs, but they're (almost?) universally very expensive models.

A friend used to have one with a sort of slider; it was still though a digital touch interface but had enough steps to make it feel continuous. Never wrote down what it was, and never saw one since.

I myselr used to have one that would go in 200W steps, that was also pretty great. Also never saw that on another model.
