In advance of my 50th birthday party, I purchased this range as a gift to myself. There were two reasons for replacing my old gas stove, improving indoor air quality and better baking conditions. Four months have passed and I am so pleased with the results. Whether I’m cooking for 100 or 1, the heating has reduced my time in the kitchen and cooking time for baked goods is reliable and the quality consistent.  The only downside was replacing many of my old copper pans. If I’d had to let go of the cast iron ones, don’t think I’d have considered induction heating!
