One can control the temperature on every burner, boiling to simmer instantly. The griddle allows me cook anything from a pound of bacon to a grill cheese sandwich. I love my cafe cooktop
I really like the two 20,000 btu power boil burners and the griddle is a nice bonus.It fit right into the old models countertop hole without any issues.
Installed now for 2 weeks. Burner heat is even and "High to low" temp control is excellent. Middle 20K BTU burner - high heat for searing, high temp saute' (ex. Wok).
It's such a joy to cook on my new Cafe cooktop....I actually look forward to preparing a meal for my family. If you are thinking about purchasing one, don't hesitate. You will not be dissatisfied with this cooktop at all....Happy cooking !!
