Bad points

Bad Points

  • Basic selection of cooking zones (2 simmer u0026 2 medium), not suitable for pans or saucepans with large surface area.
  • Cooking zones dimensions are not obvious.
  • Largest cooking zone does not accommodate a pan with a base size more than 19cm.
  • When using a large fry pan on the medium cooking zone (left front), pan sits very close to the edge and may easily be knocked.
  • Controls are positioned at the front on the right and does not have child lock.
  • Any spills around or on the cooking zone can bake on, may need special ceramic glass cleaner or a glass scraper to remove.
  • No outline around cooking zones. May not be obvious when pan slides off cooking zone which may cause uneven heating of pan and cooking.
  • Surface temperatures may become hot near controls.
  • No separate on/off switch.
  • No ON indicator light.
  • A little fiddly to clean around control dials.
