Without some sort of probe the same issue would exist for any brand or model of induction cook-top.

A little disappointed about the range of the cooking top

This company bent over backwards to make me satisfied when I had a problem with my cook-top

This is the first induction cook-top that I have purchased it so far

These heavy cast-iron enameled pots need a minute or two to come up to temp on any type of cooking surface because they are thick metal - it seems they warmed up a bit quicker with this unit than my normal electric cook-top.

Basically, the15 power settings give similar performance as a gas or electric cook-top - through experience you just learn 'how high' works for what you are cooking.

I now understand why one of my friends, who is a gourmet cook, replaced her high-end gas cook top with an induction model
