Too bad they don't make ovens the same way! Instead of the grates in the oven, use the stovetop type and let 2 of them rest in there. Now we would have the perfect stovetop and oven for Thanksgiving, parties, Christmas and many other holidays!! Awesome!! :)

@artifactingreality And supposing they did come up with a sensor that would work, the cost of 1,500 separate heating elements and sensors would be astronomical. Actually I reckon they probably could build this, for about $250,000. That would buy a lame prototype model that will break down after about 12 hours of use.
@tweek1133 "to get started, just place your cookware and tap the control panel to create a uniquely heated signature", your kids gonna put his hand on the stove and then activate the area hes touching, and select the temperature he'd like to be burned at?. oh and conventional coil stove tops also glow red, as in red hot, cause the metal heated up.
@tweek1133 also, be a parent tell you kid the "pretty red glow" hurts, after you leave him sitting on the counter next to it (if your kid can reach it and still doesn't know it burns then you've got bigger problems than your stove top.

Neat! How does it detect what's put on the surface? Is it through pressure, magnets (like induction) or something else? I'm wondering how it'd take to glass pots (Pyrex visionware) and cast iron.
Very cool. Using most of the cooking surface is pretty genius, but how does it determine what is and is not a pan? You can cancel individual elements, but is it possible to custom define objects only if they are over X-hex big? Otherwise, errant food from cooking could create some interesting burning smells.
efficient, smart, effective, but gas/open flame will always be the best and healthiest mode for cooking. the value of cooking with a flame outweighs this new technology by a long shot.
@NHockerJazz That doesn't explain why a gas stove is either 1. the best mode for cooking or 2. the healthiest mode for cook or 3. How the value of gas-fire outweighs this electric and efficient stove.
I.E., you have no argument which means your entire statement was unsupported. The William electric range stands against your imbecility. You can't do that kind of cooking power on a belching gas range. The added cost of going electric is well worth the power and convenience. Gas offers nothing than an Electric can provide or do better.
@Engus6 Wood fires were used for cooking millennia until we were able to capture the flame and utilize it through a gas appliance, but unfortunately this also gave way to the electric stove phenomenon which convinced people to deny the purity of the flame, and that science had invented something better than nature. To be politically correct i must say that this is only my opinion, but honestly its just logical. The fact that fire should be used for cooking, to me, is a no brainer. Thanks.
@NHockerJazz Impure water was used for drinking for millennia until we realized that we could sterilize it by boiling it. But unfortunately this also gave way to "filters" to purify water, which convinced people to deny the purity of giardia, and that science had created something better than nature. To be politically correct I must say that this is only my opinion, but honestly its just logical. The fact that water should be drank in its unpurified state, to me, is a no brainer. Thanks.
@Gizmo4life61887 I'm glad you like my idea template so much. But water and fire are two very different things with completely different purposes. All you did was copy my words but failed to really shed light on anything that has to do with the topic at hand. Does it upset you that your new William, although viewed as above the status quo, is really less effective than a simple gas stove, commonly viewed as primal? And if you don't have one then i'm sorry but you need to get outside more.
@NHockerJazz The physical material of my post (water vs fire) was not at all the purpose of my comment. You based your whole argument on the fact that because cooking with flame has been around longer that it is healthier, more energy efficient etc. I personally prefer a gas range, but that is only because I can instantly change the BTU's being supplied to my food, not because that heat is any different than heat produced by any other method, which is isn't, only the reaction that produced it.
@Gizmo4life61887 Those are all secondary reasons that are some of the added benefits of cooking with fire. The crux of my statement was that fire is purest form of heat therefore we should heat things with it.
@NHockerJazz "heat" is merely the vibration of molecules. Combustion, or "flame" varies greatly in purity depending on the fuel. The fact is, in places where unclean fuels are used, there are many health issues associated with poor air quality due to the chemical byproducts of combusting unclean fuels, such as cow shit, or butane or even kerosene in a house with poor ventilation. You seem to not understand what substantiates a "fact", go rub yourself down with more patchouli oil, you hippie.
@Gizmo4life61887 I think the guy's point is that burning gas for heat is more efficient than burning gas to create kinetic energy to create electricity to create heat. Thus the "purest form".
@BlurbFish That assumes that you generate electricity by burning gas. There are more efficient methods to generate electricity, and ultimately the efficiency of any electric stove is determined by the power source. Also it depends by what means you are measuring efficiency, if it is energy/fuel volume then nuclear power supplying an electric stove is far more efficient, if its energy/fuel cost it varies. I merely wanted to mock his lack of a logical argument. I don't give 2 shits about stoves
@sadamselizarah umm you're thinking of an induction stove. This is just a regular electric stove probly w/ a heating coil and piezo-electric sensor in each little bit to tell if theres something on top of it. It should heat thing ups like any regular electric stove, by generating heat on the "burner" and transferring it to a pot, induction stovetops use magnetic fields to cause the pots/pans to generate heat so not all metals will work.
@serenevannoy and just what regular cook top does? I'm sure given the electronics involved in this that adapting for impaired users would be relatively easy.
Anyone in here cooked before? I'm sure you have. Now, was it the cleanest process in the world? No stray liquids from sizzling pans, your hands are always clean? Touch screen interface just doesn't seem like the smartest idea. Maybe they'll figure out a few modifications to fit better a touchscreen to kitchen usage...
That's a really idiotic statement. Are you trying to say that blind people should just stay out of the kitchen? I'm sure plenty of them would disagree.
This thing looks really cool, and would be really handy, my only problem with it is I would feel compelled to call it the electric willy. And that could cause all kinds of unnecessary confusion amongst people who didn't know any better.
This is sexy but I still love my gas. Over the years I have used both electric and gas. They both have there place. To each chef or cook they must decided which they like better. I have found over the years that electric seems to warp pans more then gas. Maybe it is just me. Over all this is a very classy stove but I can bet expensive. You could get a pro., stove for the price of this.
Julia Child used and electric stove top on her show. It had SEVEN burners. I wanted one. Now I want this. Imagine the amount of cooking you could get done? And clean up looks like a breeze!
No professional chef would ever use this. They absolutely always use a flame. Just saying. This is for people trying to be all fancy and spend their money on more shit they don't need.
If it's inductive or eddy current they will. About 50% of all professional kitchens use inductive cooktops because they are far more energy efficient than other sorts. I can see a modified version of this being used in a pro kitchen.
Well that's not necessarily true. Electric stove tops have many advantages that gas stoves don't and vice versa. It all depends on what the user is looking for. Electric stove tops have been proven to heat significantly faster than flame burners, they're much easier to clean and you don't need to keep changing the gas. However gas stoves can be more accurate in temperature and can be used in black outs. Some culinary institutes today are using both kinds for certain needs.
I really fail to see how they have decided there are "21 unique signatures". That seems like an arbitrary number not built on either the geometry of the surface, nor any computational limit.
Considering the thing isn't built yet, seems trivial to put a number on it. Why not just say near infinite cooking arrangements? That makes more sense!
Let's hope, however, that it can recognize a "signature" as being a hand print.
Seems like it would be awesome to use but frankly I'd rather use a normal stove top and not pay the big bucks for a convenience that I could barely benefit from.

No professional chef would ever use this. They absolutely always use a flame. Just saying. This is for people trying to be all fancy and spend their money on more shit they don't need.

If it's inductive or eddy current they will. About 50% of all professional kitchens use inductive cooktops because they are far more energy efficient than other sorts. I can see a modified version of this being used in a pro kitchen.

Well that's not necessarily true. Electric stove tops have many advantages that gas stoves don't and vice versa. It all depends on what the user is looking for. Electric stove tops have been proven to heat significantly faster than flame burners, they're much easier to clean and you don't need to keep changing the gas. However gas stoves can be more accurate in temperature and can be used in black outs. Some culinary institutes today are using both kinds for certain needs.

@dougules This isn't an ad. It's just an idea. If you do some research, the stove isn't in production. This is just technology of the future.

I really fail to see how they have decided there are "21 unique signatures". That seems like an arbitrary number not built on either the geometry of the surface, nor any computational limit.
Considering the thing isn't built yet, seems trivial to put a number on it. Why not just say near infinite cooking arrangements? That makes more sense!
Let's hope, however, that it can recognize a "signature" as being a hand print.

@TrollsArePeopleToo it probably can read, store, or controll up to 21 signatures at a time

It's cool, but I would still rather cook with a flame.

No, no. Weren't you listening? If you don't want to heat up your child, simply press 'cancel'.

Seems like it would be awesome to use but frankly I'd rather use a normal stove top and not pay the big bucks for a convenience that I could barely benefit from.
