  • 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.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly bulky and are heavy.
  • Grading on wok control only.
  • Shallow spill catchment area with burners separation.
