Upon installation i was already excited to get cooking. The look is very sleek and modern. A beautiful touch is the blue illuminated knobs. Wow! We all know we have a favorite burner, mine is the center one. I love cooking soups and sauces in the center. The setting is so accurate i have been able to control even the simmer. Sautéing meats has become a breeze. I now realize why i missed gas so much. Cooking is a pleasure. The rest of my family enjoys using the plate to make breakfast all day. Eggs and bacon anyone?! I would highly recommend this cooktop. Oh did I mention how easy it is to clean, bonus!
