When you need reliability...
By Jess Wundring
I love this single burner range...I serially bought one of several different models (of single burner ranges) locally, tested them, and returned them all. I was disgusted. Then I got this one. It was considerably more expensive, but its rock-solid and has been in use about 18 hours a day, 24 in some cases, for several months.Its a great size for pans and regular pots, but a bit too large for the smaller pots, like 1-1.5 qt (or even a 2.5 qt, if the latter's got a windsor bottom).It warms up very quickly, and cools off more gently. If you're used to cooking with gas, this will be a shock because it's cast iron and holds the heat. If you're experienced in cooking with cast iron (pots, pans, ranges :), you'll find it utterly predictable, or at least I do. Sometimes you just have to remove the pan for a few seconds and turn OFF (not down) the heat.I consider it easy to clean. I've never done more than blow a few crumbs off on the cast iron burner, but I imagine it IS a sponge eater if you scrub it with one (as noted by another reviewer). The burner has a rough surface, but that's all good in my book. It keeps pots and pans from too easily or inadvertantly sliding off the range - prevents potential disaster! The part of the range that I'm really concerned about keeping clean is what all surrounds the burner. That part is all brushed steel, with no seams or holes or "gingerbread", very sturdy, very professional, and a real breeze to keep clean.Did I mention that I totally love this range, despite the hefty price? It was designed for working cooks, imho. If I ever need yet another burner, I won't bat an eyelash at getting this same model, or at recommending it to a friend.Apr '09 ----- >2 years after original reviewStill in near constant use, still working perfectly, still loving it...Jun '12 ---- Still the most used tool in our kitchen, still find it a joy to own.

By Annie Oakley
I was worried about ordering online and not being able to see the product in person. I was so surprised that it was so much better than I expected. I used it for canning and had a giant pressure cooker sitting on it. It performed perfectly and because it is so well made I expect that it will last me for years. Due to the fact the top area around the burner is metal you do not have to worry about a large pot extending out over the side of the burner and melting any plastic like other models on the internet. Well worth the price.

By Intrepid Gourmet
I purchased this single burner for use while our kitchen is being remodeled. It was so worth the extra money . It has a nice sealed cast iron burner. It heats up quickly and boils large pots of water for pasta very easily. It has plenty of BTU's for everyday use, and the cast iron burner provides even heat. It is very sturdy and stable. The feet are rubberized so it doesn't slide around and they are of a good height so it won't overheat what it is sitting upon. The workings are all contained in an easy to clean stainless steel housing. I have cooked beans, taco meat, pasta, skillet dishes of chicken and rice, salmon curry, and tonight lentils and sausage. It is as nice, if not nicer, than any electric burner I have used that was part of an electric stove (I have been using a Wolf gas stove for the last 11 years). I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this burner, I am very particular. Don't waste your money on the cheap ones.
