Is anyone aware of an electric range that has timers

Thanks ...



Never seen one. Only for ovens. Probably doesn't exist

because of the obvious safety implications. Even with an

oven there is some risk, but with a stove top, I think it would

be so risky that manufacturers would not make it.

I've always thought that stove/ranges should have an auto shutoff timer
feature. If the over/burners are on without any changes to the total power
draw for more than 4 hours the whole thing should shut off. Bet that would
prevent a fair number of house fires.

in theory my induction cooktop has this feature, but I've never tried it
out
