Bad points

Bad Points

  • Need to use a trivet for small burner, only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot.
  • Only OK for turndown performance.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning, can smudge and scratch.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
  • Trivets have a slightly rough cast iron finish making it harder to wipe over.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy.
