Bad points

Bad Points

  • May not have even heat distribution when using flexi zone.
  • Can be difficult for a larger finger when selecting temperature setting.
  • Some guessing required as no number settings displayed on grading.
  • Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring foods taking it away from the cooking zone.
  • Cooking zone can turn off when removing pan for a short duration, pause or stop and go before removing so the cooking zone does not loose the setting.
