Product review (5 stars): Excellent Quality
I purchased this to replace the black radiant cartridge I'd had for 12 years.  While the radiant cartridge looked sleek, it became harder to keep clean over the years.  My husband does most of the cooking, and he scratched the surface so many times it no longer looked nice.  This black coil element cartridge looks better than I expected, is of excellent quality, and heats up quicker than the radiant cartridge ever did.
