We remodeled our kitchen with this cooktop in mind and we have the “hex” pots and pans that we use with the cooktop. We LOVE this cooktop! It is lightning fast, water is boiling in our biggest pot in less than 5 minutes. If we need something reheated, this cooktop hears faster (and healthier) than the microwave! It cleans easily. The ONLY negative thing I have to say is that if you are using several burners and moving things on and off the cooktop, it is really easy to turn the power off without realizing. This happened several times while cooking a big meal.
