I'm not a fan of this stovetop at all. I cooked a pot of greens in a Dutch oven right before Thanksgiving. Once it was half way done, I put it on a very low heat for less than an hour. The pot became so hot that it cracked my stovetop in 3 places and left an indentation of the pot in the middle of the eye in which it was on. My home is brand new. Therefore, the appliances are brand new. Needless to say, we had to purchase another and I'm fearful of doing any major cooking on it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
