French top cooking versus more burners
Comments (1)There used to be a professional chef posting on this forum who strongly advised people not to get a French top for home use. He said in restaurants it came in handy for keeping multiple sauces warm but that for home use you'd be better off with more burners....See MoreGreat Cook ware and Chef Ware Lowest prices

Comments (3)If you are going to someone's home to cook, you really need to have insurance. Perhaps this student chef could talk to local caterers and see if they need part time help?

Comments (2)I recall these, they never seemed to get very popular. Although it does a variety of things, I don't see that it does anything better than far cheaper alternatives like a Nesco Roaster, at about 1/3 the price. The capacity is 4 ltr, which is fine for many things but I don't see anything that indicates what you have for temperature control I won't buy anything that doesn't give a full range like the roaster ovens do. No more "high/low" crock pot crap for me! I use different temps and won't give it up anymore. The other question is whether the cookwell is removeable or part of the unit, another crockpot shortcoming (on the older units). If you can't remove it for cleaning, it's not going to be easy to clean. Appears to be non-stick. How proven it the surface? If it's one unit and the non-stick goes, there goes the unit? And another thing is removing the cookwell to refrigerate leftovers. Not knowing more it's hard to say much, but these are concerns I see with it immediately. I don't see it being practical or me....See Moremxk3 z5b_MI
