What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent for low temperature cooking.
  • Excellent for high temperature cooking.
  • Wok and small pan trivet provided.
  • Layout positioning is very good, simmer and wok burner are positioned at the front.
  • Trivets have a smooth cast iron surface making it easier to wipe over.
  • Matte black enamelled surface is easy to clean.
  • All burners have a raised edge so liquid spills are less likely to run into workings.
  • Clear grading line on controls from high to low.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for turndown performance.
  • Only 3 out of 4 pots fit comfortably, there is some restricted access to burners.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Controls are too close to the front burners – wok trivet encroaches left control area. Potential for pan to obscure access to controls.
  • Shallow spill catchment with separation down the middle.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
  • Need to use a trivet for small burner, only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy.
