Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent for low temperature cooking.
  • Good for high temperature cooking and turn down performance.
  • Good for ease of use.
  • Layout positioning is very good, wok and simmer burner are positioned at the front.
  • Pan support is good on all burners, except small burner.
  • Labelling is fairly obvious as to which burner is for each control.
  • Fairly deep spill catchment however no separation from burner to burner.
  • 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.
  • No wok trivet supplied.
  • Only 3 out of 4 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy and bulky.
  • The trivets have a slightly rough cast iron surface makes it difficult to clean.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • No grading line on controls.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
