 Pretty good but not stout enough January 31, 2010

Have a propane stove with a couple of high-power burners and even at their lowest setting, this burner plate does not produce a steady, low simmer - simply not thick enough. Probably would work well with electric stove.
 Warps with normal use, color comes off January 26, 2010

I bought this to create a flat cooking surface on my electric stove. It worked really well initially, but after 1 month of careful & normal use it started to warp. Now it is completely warped and has a visible "hump" in the middle - no flat cooking surface anymore! Also, the black color comes off easily with a Scotchbrite kitchen sponge (or even a damp cloth) and also scratches when you move pots on it.
I've returned it to amazon and will get a replacement to see if there was something wrong with this batch of burner plates; another review here states the same problem, though, so I assume they'll warp again.

This is an outstanding product. Extremely simple yet perfect for the task. Efficient and sleek. My wolf range needed a very low burn setting and this provides just what I needed.

A few months ago, I bought two 8" plates to use with my Piral terra cotta cookware. At first, they were beautiful and functional. They are now discolored and warped. I do not mind the discoloration since it doesn't affect function, though it is sort of an eyesore on the stovetop. Much worse than that, they have developed a slight bulge in the middle such that none of my cookware sits flat on them--I tried both covers on both 8" burners. For what it's worth, I used them on an inexpensive electric coil stove. Perhaps I used too high a heat? I don't remember reading in the directions that you can't use a medium-high heat.
While they worked, they were great. Took a long time to heat up, but I felt much better about using my terra cotta on the stove. They look very impressive fresh out of the packaging. That doesn't last long...the black finish starts cracking and fading. The orange bottom of my cookware stained them also.
Considering that this is one of few (or only) negative reviews of this item, I accept that my experience may be unique and these may work just fine for you! They didn't for me, though. I can't use them at all since the cookware rocks back and forth on them now.

Do not purchase if you have a glass cooktop. These are raised for coil burners. Not a bad product, but for coil only.
