Product review (4 stars): Acceptable, but not the Perfect Replacement Many Claim
This would be 5 stars, but the surface area is less than my original one which was supposed to be a perfect match. This one works very well, although the flat part of the top surface is more rounded and a little narrower than my original one. The original would have, due to these differences, more uniform heat distribution on the pans. Now, I have those aluminum-copper sandwiches in the base of my pans, so I don't notice a difference, and probably nobody would anyway, but it's just not quite as good as the original. Since this one is newer, the element itself heats more evenly, as you can tell by the distribution of redness through the coil. A new coil will probably get hotter and do it faster, while more evenly distributing heat. Although an OEM coil would probably be a little better, you probably won't be as nit-picky as me.
