Hi Eran.

I have a 36" CC 6 burner rangetop. The "small pan" burner (top left) looks like this:

1. The burner is the same size as the others, but the diameter of the holes is smaller and there are fewer of them. I've put all my pans, large and small, on that burner.

2. Mine was ordered over two years ago and came on time without issue.

3. I was slightly concerned about this also at first. From what I read over in Appliances before purchasing, these are very, very simple machines. No electronics. Any repair person knowledgeable enough to work on a BS or KA or Wolf rangetop should be able to repair a CC. You might order a few extra spark modules if you're concerned that Capital won't be around in 20 (or whatever....I have no idea about their longevity) years when/if you need them.

I assume you've slogged through the dozens of threads on the CC over in Appliances. If you can get past the testosterone-filled arguing, you'll find lots of helpful info.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey there,

A quick follow-up. I played around with the small burner today at the shop and was impressed (especially after turning it down lower than it was set).

I am wondering - in the past complained that the beans/ham dish didn't work even on a stacked burner. Is this problem solved for you now that you have the 8K?

Also - for anyone out there with a CC do you put alum foil on the top drip pans or just the slide out ones?

Thanks!

Eran

I have the culinarian with the small pan burner as well. It is the same size as the rest, just less the outer ring of holes.

My delivery was a nightmare due to the retail outlet selling my original out from under me after I fully paid but asked them to hold it. I scheduled delivery for a later date. My granite guys wanted the range top on site for measurement. I tried to get the item a few days earlier and got an extreme amount of run around. I was furious to say the least. But that is my retailer's fault, not the manufacturer.

I did put foil on the lower slide outs, but I'd be worried at melting foil onto the drip pans on which the cast iron grates rest.

OT but breezy, what ever happened with your dishwasher?
