THE UNIT WORKS PERFECTLY. WE ALREADY HAD THE STEEL PANS IT REQUIRES SO WE WERE ABLE TO COOK THE FIRST DAY. IT HEATS FASTER THAN ANY OTHER TYPE OF COOKING. IT DOES NOT STAY HOT WHEN THE PANS ARE OFF SO YOU CAN'T GET BURNED. ALL GREAT FEATURES. WE ARE STILL LEARNING AND EXPECT TO ENJOY THIS STOVE TOP UNIT FOR MANY YEARS.
