Can't seem to find anyone who actually has this rangetop and is happy
with it. If you own one, can you comment about the 30" burner? The
star configuration of the burners? Mostly I've found people who have
turned up their noses at the Thermador b/c of the clicking when it's
simmering, plus the burners supposedly would be hard to clean. I
don't think either of those things would bother me at all. I'm just
concerned with performance.

Thanks,

Not the wok burner, but I've had both a Thermador and a Dacor and the
Thermador is hands down my favorite. The star configuration seems to
distribute the heat much more evenly. I have the six-burner, so only 2
of the burners are simmer and super-simmer. The clicking never
bothered me and it makes for some splendid cook-all-day stews and
sauces (my spaghetti sauce never tasted better), although family
members must be monitored regularly to avoid, uh, "shrinkage" of the
cookpot contents. I certainly don't find the burners hard to clean,
but OTOH, I have a weekly house cleaner ;-)

I'd buy another Thermador in a heartbeat. But next time, I want the
really wide one that has two ovens!
