they are simply covering their butts against some stupido who will
bang it down on the top!

I will say again, 11 years ago when i bought mine all my pots and pans
continued in use, gthat inclluded many cast iron and le crueset types,
some copper pans etc. Nothing has happeened to the pans or the glass
top.

the surface heats fast and safely, there is one burner that does it
twice as fast, I can also switch 'a bridge' on between front and back
burner for the griddle, there is also a small burner in the middle
that will gently warm plates, one of the things that i found
particularly attractive.

that is fact and experience versus opinion based on manufacturers
babble.
