Many people believe large diameter cookware requires large diameter burners. A common negative review is smoothtop burners smaller than their largest cookware. While large burners boil water and other foods faster, they are not required for most general cooking. Gas, radiant electric, and induction stove burner sizes are independent of cookware diameters.

Prepared foods account for 60% of the American diet. The trend from home cooking to prepared foods has increased since the 1980’s. The results have been decreasing life expectancy and increasing heart disease and diabetes.
The problem is not eating prepared foods, but eating the wrong prepared foods. Comfort foods that are high in calories and sodium and low in most essential nutrients.
Many Americans pay for prepared foods (restaurant, fast foods, store bought) with credit not disposable cash.
Home cooked meals, despite misinformation from the food industry, saves thousands of dollars a year per person and healthier than prepared foods costing much more.

Thanks to the open Internet, anyone can leave a review, comment, or rating. Some are accurate and helpful and others are not. Up to 50% of online reviews are fake.
After years of looking for an induction compatible griddle for my cooking videos, I found the GreenPan® Valencia Pro griddle. Like most products, it was rated 1 to 5 stars. The 1-star reviews claimed everything stuck to the griddle and it was very difficult to clean. These reviews contradicted reviews by highly reputable sources. Not surprisingly, the highly reputable sources won out.
