Thanks for your response:
Vox, I am wanting to replace my Jenn-Air; I think you know my model, the
down-draft electric. My husband doesn't want to put a hood in so as to not
use a downdraft - I wish he would reconsider, and I might convince him, but
not until I've left no stone unturned-- I think Jenn-Air actually does have
a down-draft 'induction.' See below.

I bought a set of pans that I really like from Costco
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...av=&cat=&s= 1
after previously not long before buying their caphalon type, so I'm not
eager to replace pans again! The newest pans do seem pretty flat. But I'm
not sure what to think about 'matching up' sizes to fit the burner, and
whether they need to be exact.

I saw online a Jennaire 'replacement insert'
http://store.yahoo.com/absolute-shop...eraelcaje.html
but I don't have any idea if this would work in my present Jennaire. I have
three different inserts now that I have used: the grill, the electric
burners, and those black round things that stay hot forever -- I don't know
the name of them.

Now, here is a NEW Jennaire that says
"Open bay accepts halogen, radiant or coil element cartridge for cooking
flexibility." at
http://store.yahoo.com/absolute-shop...doelraje2.html

Looking for guidance,
Thank you.
