kitty 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 yes, agree..for where it was made.. i see it as it was made for what cuisine cooking style.. like rinnai as a japanese brand it is tailored for asian cooking.. therefore we find tat the fire is strong enough n pretty good.. likewise for those european style hob.. they catered more to western cooking thus always find their designs require a flat base pan or pot.. or u hv to top up with a convertor kind of thing to use the round base chinese wok..as for the number of burners.. do take note the distance in between each burner.. eg if we put a big wok on 1 burner.. might eat into the burner next to it.. so tats y u see rinnai's hob r v well planned in this area to cater to chinese wok.. where as tings like teka hob.. all the 4 burners r of equal distance n quite near to each other.. get wat i mean? that is why i might take 3 burner....co realised all 4 burners very close to each other...3 burners have different type of layout so not sure which layout is better so that the wok will not eat into the other one.For e.g: 1) 2 burners on left side and 1 burner on the right 2) 1 burner on left, one burner in the middle, one burner one the leftso not sure which layout is goodis comment on turbo or cuizino??

MaCe 3 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 my one is a 3 burner...cos all those 4 burners design is rather stupid- too close to each other end up you can only put smaller size pots/pans..becomes redundant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
