I have owned very expensive cooktops in my lifetime. From Thermador to DCs. I don't want to say anything negative about those products they're very good products at two to three times the price of a GE Cafe Cooktop. And I'm here to tell you those burners are precise. The variety of DTU selectable will allow me to cook my sausage or sear meat perfectly. I'm actually shocked and amazed about the performance. My wife and I do not go to restaurants we love to cook at home. Not to brag but some people think I should open a restaurant. But my family owned a restaurant that's just too much work.
