Yes, these radiant electric cook tops are amazing! You
cannot compare them with the old coiled-element designs.

The thermostats are so quick and sensitive that you have much
better heat control than with gas!

The all glass cooking surface makes clean up effortless.

Now to find an RV size cooktop to replace the crude
burners on my old Princess Stove!

My resident French cooking expert says you might try one of the newer
radiant electric cooktops before rejecting electricity because it is more
difficult to cook with.

They are nearly instantly adjustable over entire heat range, easy to clean,
instant visual reference as to how hot, hold the setting well, etc, etc.

We have a unit in the new house we built and Sue loves it. I cant find the
literature on it and since it has an oven the numbers probably would not bear on
the question on what power is consumed by an individual burner or all three. As
I design the galley for SusieQ, I am drawn to them because of the classy
presentation. The best gas top units are very clunky , but using an inverter is
clunky engineering. OTH, a microwave/convection uses little enough over short
enough time so that it is definately my first choice and my boats eponym as
well.

If you use one of those clamp on amp meters you can measure the curent
draw of each ofthe elements in turn. This will then give you the info to
calculate the wattage at rated voltage.
