Of course! Although unattended ranges account for a great number of fires, it'll never happen to you! Notice the warning in your ranges owners manual? The manufacturer just put that in to waste ink and paper and give you a hearty chuckle.

Timers, better insulation means increased efficiency, and thermal cutouts mean they're safer.

Same reason why a MASSIVE number of products exist: people are stupid, and assume that they can't possibly do the job without buying a specialized tool for it.

Kitchen shit is especially bad for this:

>Garlic press
For when you're too stupid to use a knife.

>Egg cracker
For when you can't just crack an egg on the edge of your bowl

so you can leave the house

Your oven has that too. It's just as safe.

Range-top does not though.

Yes but OP is asking about a pot on a stove, not a casserole in an oven.
