Cooks well with plenty of heat and is easy to clean but the paint finish on the underside of the hot plate burnt off on only the second use. According to Cadac this is normal but it looks awful. Considering the unit is over £120, I think this is a very bad advert for Cadac. It would certainly put me off buying another one. They really should tell you this happens in their sales literature. If they had, I would not have wasted my money.
