Bad points

Bad Points

  • Flexi zone may not have even heat distribution.
  • The flexi zone has a width of only 19cm and the large cooking zone is 21cm in diameter. Saucepan/pan larger than 21cm in diameter may not be efficient.
  • Need to touch or slide finger along graded power selector. Only OK for large fingers.
  • Only accommodates 3 cooking zones at the same time.
  • Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring, need to keep pan within the cooking zone.
  • Controls must be kept free of grease and moisture otherwise they will not respond to touch.
