Touch screens especially don't make sense in the cooking context, where your hands are likely to be wet / damp.

    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 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.
