    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cooktop. The large cooking area lets me use all of my big pots when needed. The warming burner was especially useful keeping my famous sausage gravy warm while I finished up the bacon on one burner and eggs on another and grits on still another. Easy clean-up (using a little soft-scrub) and the think always looks brand new.
