Product review (4 stars): Mostly very pleased, but still learning...
I have only been using this for a few weeks, and so far I am mostly pleased. My main complaint is that even on the smallest burners set to simmer, it will make a big cast iron pot with soup or stew boil. For those who said that the grates were too far from the flame, I have not had that issue. In fact, I would think that would produce a better simmer. I haven't used any of the burners on high because that seems unnecessary, even with my heavy cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans. I am guessing that those who had a problem with burn marks on the stainless had the burners on high, because I have not had any problems with that either. I think there is a way to adjust the flames to a higher or lower setting than what the knobs will allow, but I haven't tried to figure that out yet. For all the differing complaints about this, I think the flame settings might be the answer. As for the burners being too close together: what do you expect on a 5-burner 30" stovetop? I only use 1 or 2 at a time.
