It is sturdy, well-built cook top heats quickly. You can fit 2 two-coil modules with no problem, they fit perfectly. The fan is extremely good, and pulls out the smoke efficiently.

Two open bays give you the option to add a grill, coil elements or an easy-to clean electric cooktop. Adapt it your household's needs and make the most of every surface.

1. By using an electric cooktop you can produce a wide spectrum of heat levels. Furthermore, there is a big range of prices and heating elements you can choose from. The most common are: Coil elements, most economical and fast cooking. Radiant heating elements, nice style and are easy to clean. Solid disk elements, though not so common they provice consistent heating and simple cleanup.
2. Decide what cooktop size is ideal for your place. The size ranges vary from 26 up to 40 inches, however most common ones are 30 and 36 inches and 22 inches in depth.
3. Pre-determine your needs. Define the number of burners you want, lock controls, indicator lights, removable knobs. Decide before actually seeing the various models so you don't spend more money because you're excited about everything they offer!

If you are klutzy in the kitchen and drop your pots a lot then glass cooktops probably aren't a good idea. Otherwise, my glass cooktop operates very similar to an electric coil stove for stovetop cooking. There really isn't a learning curve.

They ARE very easy to clean up as the surface is flat and you just wipe them off like you would your countertop. Sometimes I use the special cleaner for them when I burn something and it works very well. You can even use them as a work surface (if they aren't hot) because they are flat. The burners are adjustable depending upon pan size.

Also, you must have flat bottomed pans, warped pans won't conduct the heat very well. As far as touching them when they're hot, the light for the burner stays on until they cool off. Regular coil stoves don't have such a feature that I'm aware of.
