At IFA, Whirlpool showed off a new concept cooktop that combines a touchscreen with induction burners and a unique user interface. It might look futuristic, but it's not that far off.
See, induction cooking uses magnets to heat up just the pans—not the burners beneath them. That means induction burners can theoretically be underneath nearly any surface, including a touchscreen.
