My prior stove wouldn't simmer without burning, we tried everything. Finally decided to replace it and I wish I had done it sooner! This Cafe stove, with its 6 burners, does everything. It simmers, it boils, it has a griddle, what else can I ask for? Oh yes! I love the slide-in style. I adore the color of the knobs and handles, brushed copper. And, it's fantastic in the white color to match my other appliances while the cooking top is stainless which makes cleaning a breeze! Is there anything else to expect from a stove? Beauty, brawn and a dazzling assortment of settings...I'm a happy cook now.
