hour ago - making eggplant parm and had all four going. Had I owned more skillets, I'd have hauled out the buffet burner too. Smoked up the kitchen somewhat, but oh - what a dinner is on the horizon. Anyway, I thought of you, whoever you are. It sure cut the time way down on the frying segment. |

She said she wanted a stove with only 2 burners as that's all she ever uses. I told her to go looking for the smoothtop ranges; they've been available for well over 15 years. She also wants a very TALL refrigerator with _wire_ shelves so she can clean up spills and drips on everything as they make their way down to the bottom shelf. |

Wire shelves used to promote air circulation but seems unnecessary now. |

Four burners, three styles. The two right are identical "normal" burners so it is good for the two burner griddle and most any pot or pan. The front is the most used. The left front is a dual burner that has both the highest output (24,000 BTU) and lowest simmer burner (I forget the size, but very low possible) The left rear is good for the tea kettle and similar shaped pots as well as any smaller sized pot or pan. . |

I should hasten to add tho that all four burners do NOT operate equally. The back ones are of different diameters and the heat cycles on and off at different speeds, it seems. So, I had to play musical skillets while I kept an eagle eye on the eggplant. Next time I won't slice it so darn thin and can maybe get by with fewer skillets. The stove manual didn't state this, but I even heard from a friend that her GAS stove also has differing heat control @#%^. I always figured gas was gas and the controls operated equally. I'll take my fridge glass pullout shelves ANY day over those wire things which over time get grungy, and rusty. |

You often get one very powerful burner that is good for heating up that big pasta pot, a couple of "normal" sized that work with any pot or pay and maybe one such as we have that works well with a tea kettle and rounded bottom. In your particular use that day, the "feature" is a detriment. |

That 'feature' usually IS a detriment. Not every pot fits well on the heavy duty front burner, and the two back burners seem to be the light- duty burners, but of differences sizes.

Because not all pots or jobs are equal? My gas stove has 1 giant, one tiny, one large, and 2 medium burners. The top is a flat grate over the entire thing, so I can move a pot around to wherever I want it. I wish the big one was even bigger [hotter] - but the others are welcome for their purposes. The hottest one turned all the way down is just barely warmer than the tiny one on high. Jim |

I did look at the ones like yours with the flat grate over the entire stove and wondered how I would like it. My thinking was most likely I would choose that style for the ease of sliding pans off a burner instead of lifting it. I think the ones I looked at had the 'griddle' type long burner in the center. |

My gas stove (GE Profile) has four burners, two medium burners to the left, a large burner to the right front, a small burner to the right rear. The grates on each side are continuous but I don't remember ever sliding a pot; small pots are easy to lift with one hand and large pots need lifting because when full they're too heavy to slide easily... a 6-8 quart potful of hot liquid is too dangerous to slide, those grates are not ball bearing, neither your pot bottoms... try to slide a pot of stew and it's slosh city. I think that pot sliding crapola is a lotta hype/BS. I often use two burners at the same time, very rarely three, to date I've never used all four at the same time. Tonight's dinner was a bone-in center cut pork loin roast, a big pan of roasted potatoes, and the first three yellow zukes from my garden... all cooked in the oven, no top burners... no sliding! |

Mine are rectangles instead of squares and although the height is fine they're just a tad too long to fit in there. :( -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

I have an electric with a smoothtop and I've only use the rear ones a few times. They require very small pots or pans to use. That's the only thing I wished I'd researched a little further before buying it. Mine has a warming burner, but again, it's at the rear of the cooktop and only a small pot or pan would work on it without obstructing other pots or pans that are actually cooking. |

My Stove is 30", and there are 3 grids on top- rectangles that go front to back. The largest is 19x11. The inside of the dishwasher is >20" wide-- I guess the depth is about that, too-- but it is running right now. I don't stand them up- just lay all 3 in there and set on soak and scrub. Definitely a consideration- but I find the setup to be handy and will insist on it on my next stove. Jim |

I start my rice on the hot one- then slide it back to the tiny one to simmer. I wonder what ever happened to the 'Burner with a brain' idea that my parents had on a stove in the 60's.

Gas stoves have had sealed burners for more than 25 years, every major manufacturer produces them. You don't need any stinkin' picture, the best way to view them is for you to visit an appliance store and compare the different brands. |
