I like it a lot but they lie, my grandmother could could cook all those things on a wood stove and they didn't burn the food up, perfect sandwiches, steaks or what ever. Second it's impossible to cook a pot of rice, after you bring it to a boil there is no way to set slow bubbling simmer, not enough control of temperature like gas or even wood. This unit only has 200, 210 and way over boiling of 220. It should be controllable between 210 and 215 by half degrees. But everything else works great
