Good points

Good Points

  • Very good overall.
  • Excellent for low and high temperature cooking.
  • Very good for turn down performance.
  • Good for ease of use.
  • Wok trivet provided.
  • Layout positioning is very good, wok centre and large and simmer are positioned at the front.
  • Pan support is good on all burners, except small burner.
  • Trivets have a fairly smooth cast iron finish making them easier to clean.
  • Labelling is obvious as to which burner is for each control.
  • Clear grading line on controls.
  • Stainless steel surface has a quick component removal coating making it easier to clean and shows minimal fingerprint marks.
  • Burner surround is moulded and fairly easy to clean. All burners have a raised edge so liquid spills are less likely to run into workings.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Need to use a trivet for small burner, only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot.
  • Only 4 out of 5 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy, large and bulky.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Shallow spill catchment and no separation from burner to burner.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
