Product review (5 stars): All open-coil electric ranges should come with burners like this as standard fitment
All open-coil electric ranges should come with burners like this as standard fitment. The extra elevation is nice for less heat damage to stove parts and drip bowls, but more than that, this burner's frame gives MUCH sturdier support, so the burner (and therefore whatever pot or pan is on it) doesn't rattle around or want to tip over. I suspect this also will greatly lessen the tendency of the burner socket to gradually cook to death, because the socket is now more separated from the hot burner, but that'll take some years to see. It's claimed this burner does not fit GE stoves, but it fit both my GE (from 2009) and my Frigidaire (from 2000) just fine. I do wish they were also available in the small size, but that's less crucial.
