What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent for low temperature cooking.
  • Good for turn down performance.
  • Very good for high temperature cooking.
  • Layout positioning is very good, wok burner and simmer burner are positioned at the front.
  • Pan support is good, stable on all burners.
  • Trivets have a fairly smooth cast iron finish making them easier to clean.
  • 4 individual, fairly light weight cast iron trivets are easy to clean in a domestic sink.
  • 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.
  • Labelling is protected under glass.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Only 3 out of 4 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • No wok trivet supplied.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • No grading line on controls, only small and big flame symbol.
  • Very shallow spill catchment around each burner, mostly due to raised area that holds individual trivet in place.
  • Glass ceramic surface OK to clean, may require extra attention to remove smudges and streak marks.
  • Cleaning around catchment area of burner can be fiddly.
