Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Need to stir melting chocolate constantly, can catch very quickly.
  • Only 3 out of 4 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Only OK for pan stability on large and small burner.
  • Not easy to slide the pans across the trivets.
  • No spill catchment.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning, can smudge and scratch.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy.
  • Controls feel flimsy and uncomfortable to use – spring loading requires some pressure to turn and ignite.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
