Chef CHC642BB
Good Points
- Basic control dials, easy to use.
- Very good element positioning, large cooking zone left front and simmer cooking zone right front.
- Largest cooking zone can accommodate a pan up to 22cm.
- No metal edging around cooktop.
- Dial knobs are removable, a rubber seal around the knobs prevents spillages from going into workings.
- Fairly comprehensive instructions, but no cooking guide.
Bad Points
- No separate ON indicator light. The only way the user will know that the cooktop is on is from the light of the element of the cooking zone and if the residual heat indicator light is on (or the knob).
- Dials are close to cooking zone, dial controls may become hot.
- Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring.
- Controls have no tactile feedback so setting may not be accurate.
- A little fiddly cleaning around control dials.
- Any spills around or on the cooking zone can bake on, may need special ceramic glass cleaner or a glass scraper to remove.
- No child proof lock on controls, however less likely for children to access controls, positioned along right side.
