A lot of people don't realise that you can push both the up and down button at the same time to set a hob ring to zero intensity. So level 9 to level 2 is actually just three presses.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Parents stove does that, mine does not. Getting a burner to 1 out of 9 takes a stupid amount of time (~15 seconds).
Tried this, thanks, but unfortunately it just makes its error beep
On mine 2 back to 9 is 7 presses. Use case: adding more water to rice.
It would be nice if these hobs had both temperature and intensity settings. That way it would turn up automatically in the situation you describe.
