Product review (4 stars): Seems very sturdy- will probably outlast all other burners on my stove
I bought this item for two reasons.  First I have just begun canning, and I read the raving reviews about how 21 quart water bath canners will not fit without sitting slightly on the edge or half on the element.  Secondly, the stove I just inherited in this new home I now live in is old.  One the elements recently broke- literally cracked while heated and broke one coil in two.  I am not worried about this element doing the same.
