OK yes this is just an ad but I still think it's a cool consumer product:

Who though The William would be a good name though? WTF?

I could cook better than 99% of ATOT with a campfire, clay oven, and a cast iron skillet. Cool tools cannot help fools. Everyone knows this.

I thought the slaves in your dungeon cooked for you?

No, no, no. I cooked the slaves.

If it's not an induction cook top, it fails.

They need a downdraft model and I would be all over it.

gas > electric

"Oh cool! I can cook up to 21 different things at the same time" - a feature that you will NEVER use.
"Oh cool! I can place things wherever I want" - as soon as you have 3 or 4 things, they'll be arranged most naturally - just like on a regular cooktop.

The thing is pretty neat & innovative, but the innovations really don't add much value. Plus, they drop down to inferior electric heat vs. gas. (Induction would be a different matter.)
