Random morning idea: stoves, ovens, irons, and other devices that can get dangerously hot if left powered on for extended periods of time could have a timer that turns them off after some time.

You want to boil some eggs? Turn stove on for 30 minutes, and it'll turn off after that time by itself, unless you push a button to add another 30 minutes.

I simulate this by setting a timer on my phone to remind me to turn the stove off, but it's not me-proof.

Some places already have safety requirements to that effect: An office kitchen I used had its cooking plate wired behind a timer clock to comply with some rules.

@Lars Wirzenius my mother's stove from ikea has that feature (and horrible touch buttons), mine still has real knobs, but those make a timer harder to do in a nice way.

so maybe it is being done, only just in the new things?

This is commonly installed as part of adapting a home for elderly accessibility here, especially the stove timer.

Our oven has a timer! Very handy. You must turn it on using the timer, and it makes out at like 90 minutes

That's fairly normal for stoves and ovens to have integrated timers.
