  • Do they fully turn off or does the heat just drop? Turning off and having to turn back on seems mad. Presume if that's the case it varies by brand/model?

    ours is a safety feature called pan detection which only heats when it detects a pan (quite luckily it turns out after my gf left the hob on for 3 hours after making her breakfast), it sounds like aggi has the same one (AEG, I assume because it's quite similar to his username).

    I'm sure it makes zero difference to the overall heat applied to a dish but my brain considers it a bad thing which makes me not want to trigger it so i try to keep the pan set down which feels unusual.
