What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent for low temperature cooking.
  • Spill catchment area is deep enough to contain spills, and is divided into two sections.
  • Cast iron trivets have a smooth cast iron finish making them easier to clean.
  • Labelling is clear and intuitive.
  • Small pot trivet is provided.
  • Cast iron trivets are lightweight, separate trivet for each burner, easy to clean.
  • Controls are on the side, making them less accessible to children.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Only OK for turn-down performance.
  • Burner layout is not ideal, the simmer is behind the wok burner.
  • Only three pots fit comfortably at a time.
  • Labelling is bonded and may come off over time.
  • Burner surrounds are moulded but have an area where dirt can become trapped.
  • Stainless steel needs extra effort to clean.
  • Only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot, need to use small trivet. Stable on all other burners.
