Mis-information
on October 21, 2011
Posted by: musiccitytitan
A reviewer above rated this item only mid-range based on the fact that they cannot use their existing cookware due to pot sizes and whatnot.
This is a little misleading as this is not a trait only with the electrolux, or induction in general.
ALL smooth top cooktops/ranges recommend the pot size be within a margin of the size of the burner ring. On a non-induction smoothtop having the pot size too small will cause the burner to quick cycle. Never allowing the proper temp to be reached. Having it too big can cause overheating which can lead to the burner thinking it is hotter than it really is.
With induction the magnetic field it produces is very small and flat. If your pot is too big it may not be able to produce a large enough field to heat properly.
Too small on an induction is in most cases not a problem.

Many people had cast iron or glass(visions) cookware that they had to stop using when smoothtops came out orig. This is along the same line. Try not to denounce a product because you cant use your tried and true pot that great grandma betty handed down. Besides if you are like me I am sure a few of your pots and pans could use replacing with some updated cookware. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Read the Maximum Pan Size Requirement
on July 1, 2011
Posted by: CBinCT
We didn't realize until after we had it installed and was reading through the manual that there is a maximum pan size. The repair people told us if it is exceeded the element will be damaged. You can only go 1/2 inch over the outer ring of the element. So good bye to my 13 inch Allclad and 5 quart dutch oven. My big clam steamer is now a no no. I'm bummed. I say this limits the performance of the product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a fabulous cooktop
on November 17, 2011

I liked the look and features of the cooktop, but the one review on your site is fairly negative and refers to a very large pan not fitting. I measured my pans, and most all fit. I had to replace a couple because they were copper bottom, but all-clad makes pans that are perfect for induction. I bought a few of them, and they cook beautifully. The only design flaw is the stainless trim which does scratch. I am careful of it, but it is impossible not to ding. It is such fun to cook on this cooktop...simmering, frying, all instantly, and with instant response. Easy to clean...I am so glad I picked this one.
