  • Wok trivet supplied.
  • Layout positioning is very good, centre wok burner, and two simmer burners positioned at the front.

  • Very deep spill catchment area.
  • Trivets have a fairly smooth cast iron finish making them easier to clean.
  • Burner surround is moulded and fairly easy to clean.

Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Need to stir melting chocolate constantly, can catch very quickly.
  • Only 4 out of 5 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Labelling is faint, has no grading line on controls, only small and big flame symbol.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning, can smudge and scratch.
  • 2 large and heavy cast iron trivets are difficult to fit into a domestic sink.
  • Has exposed aluminium burner skirts which may be difficult to clean.
