The combination of 6 Monobloc brass burners and the electric griddle, plus cast iron contour grates let you cook like a professional. The grates are designed for maximum space to fit pots and pans of different sizes with ease. The extra powerful 19,000 BTU power burners boil water faster than any burner in their class. Boil pasta, sear meat or stir fry with a wok on the 2 power burners with dual ring flame; or delicately melt chocolate or warm cream on the simmer burner. The large stainless steel griddle with integrated grease-catcher and practical cover doubles up as a handy prep surface when not in use.
