  5. we wanted to show how PID works, since it has to be tuned anyways :)

  6. On AAE the other night looked like all the pans you were evaluating were 12"-14" – is the intended use one board at a time or several?
    If a single board – would a smaller area be better / more even heat?

    $20 for a 600W 7" with tempered glass lid seems like a good

    Also – most of the skillets I’ve seen have a non-stick coating – lots of chatter in the cooking forums about these films releasing toxins – found one article claiming"

    "15 toxic gases and chemicals, including two
    carcinogens.’ The release of toxic fumes from
    nonstick cookware is known to kill pet birds
    at much lower temperatures—as low as 464F."
