Product review (5 stars): Very good product. The control panel
Very good product. The control panel, made of plastic, slants down so that a large pot which might overlap it, does not burn it. Temperature can be controlled in a few coarse steps and from there up or down with 10 deg. F steps. Maximum ON time is one hour so that not too much harm can be done with a forgetful person. Temperature control is unparalleled.
Would be nice if they would supply a 9" diameter round steel plate so that it also could be used with aluminum cookware, e.g. pressure cooker, or with stainless steel cookware.
Since it came with a magnetic, ceramic coated 11 1/2 steel pan the deal had a good price.
