And if someone in your household keeps forgetting
to turn off the burner, it is hard to tell if it
on or not.  When I was taking home ec. in high
school, I had made a batch of bar cookies as part
of the class assignment.  But they weren't done
at the end of the class, so my teacher promised
to take them out when the buzzer rang.  Which is
what she did, but she put the pan on top of the
stove, as she was busy elsewhere.  What she
hadn't noticed was that someone else has turned
on one of the burners.  She found out when the
smoke alarms went off, as the burner burnt the
cookies.  She gave me an "A" for the assignment
as they had been perfect when she had taken them
out.  Sigh.  I have never been interested in
electric stoves since then.
