The appliances also feature precise simmer settings, providing the ability to maintain low heat for extended cooking, which is ideal for sauces and delicate dishes. The oven-like design of the burners enhances heat distribution, ensuring that food is cooked evenly.

Another standout feature of both models is the easy-to-clean design. The sealed burners prevent spills from leaking underneath, while the smooth surface allows for effortless wiping down after cooking. Additionally, the sleek stainless steel finish adds a modern aesthetic to any kitchen.
