I have used this stove top daily for the last few weeks. It has worked consistantly. I previously cooked on a gas stove, so the pots and pans heat up a bit slower then I'm used to but not so much that it has caused a problem. I cook with cast iron and stainless steel, and the cast iron heating surfacse of the burner works well with the those types of pots. If I time things right I am able to shut the burner off well in advance and let the residual heat finish cooking my dish.
The large burner will bring to a boil anything in a cast iron dutch oven, 8-inch cast iron skillet, 6qt stainless steel Fagor Pressure Cooker, and 4 cup stainless steel pot. The small burner (recommended in the manual for simmering) will eventually bring the 4 cup stainless steel pot to a boil. The large burner does an excellent job with the pressure cooker.
The surfaces do not change from one temperature to the next like my gas stove so that is mainly the changes needed in my cooking. I think ahead and when necessary I turn the heat down sooner because the residual warmth takes time to dissapate.
It took over an hour for the large burner to cool to the touch after bringing the 4 cup pot to a boil, turning off the heat then removing the pot. So be mindful! Also the silver surrounding surface gets very hot too.
I wanted a higher quality burner setup then what was available in any local store. Most only carried the simple coil type for 10-20 dollars depending on the number of burners. This has been a wonderful step up (or few steps up) and I recommend it. + See Full Customer Review |  |
