How quickly will this burner turn off once a pan is removed? If I swap a pan in and out, will it turn off instantly and need to be reset?

Once you take the pan off, it runs about 7-8 seconds. If it turns off, you only need to poke the power button and it turns back on (level 5). It is not a major annoyance to reset to a higher or lower power, just a couple of taps on the control.

when a pan is removed the unit turns off instantly and will beep about 4 times, for maybe 6 or 8 seconds total. If the pan is returned during this time cooking continues. If the pan doesn't return, the unit turns itself off and would have to be reset.

I believe it will shut off. I just don't know how quick u r : ). But they are made that way. Once there is no magnetic force for it to stay on?

I am something of a gourmet cook, and have never felt that the number of settings was too limited. My only gripe, and it is minor, is that over time the lowest settings have become hotter. Used to be able to simmmer at 2, now simmers at one. Performance varies from pan to pan, and with some pans, 1 is almost too hot for a simmer. Over all, I am thrilled with the burner and recommend it highly.

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

Auto off doesn't kick in until its boiled too long, in my opinion. I usually flip it off before the auto does

Never happened to me. Only problem was heavy weight which I knew before buying. Never ever even came close to burning. I did find out that it took almost no power to keep the pot on a very low simmer/boil. It was #2 on my stove that goes from #1-#9. I turn on high to brown/sautee steak pieces and onion. I then turn on 6 to bring up to boil and then way way down to #1 or usually #2 to cook for 4-5 hours ( dried beans ). Hope this helps

Sorry for the delay. Yuou put it out by removing the burner inside the unit. It's real easy actually, but you have to use gloves or a flameproof object to remove it because it will be hot. Then just set it down and let it go out. It just glows then goes out. Another problem is that the burner fits loose on the top and it always falls off. Not worth it to me. Hope this info helps

I just turn it on 550 for 15 min when we are done and it burns itself off, no problem! Hope this helps.

I truly do not know. I will say that my unit was given to a 65 year old bachelor who placed it on top of his gas stove. That hotplate is all he uses, it is never turned off, is always covered with dirty pot and pans and the place is still standing. I unplugged it Monday when I took him to the hospital. True story!

I have been very pleased with this pan and have only used it on a single gas burner. I do use the large burner on medium high for almost everything. I love this pan and use it at least once or twice a week.

Definitely yes. One precaution is not to turn the burner on to full heat with an empty pan. It's our favorite large pan.

I have an older one so I don't know what the newer ones will do. Mine just has OFF LO MED HI. It does this by increasing or decreasing the gas flow making the burner flame higher or lower. Hope this helps. Thanks

Nope I left it on or a while after 50 minutes it was still on I unplugged it. That's what u have to do so u can be sure n remember u turned it off UNPLUG IT I personally think it should shut off after ten minutes of not using it. Now there where several of this type n color flat iron for different prices on amazon so I don't know if the others have automatic shut off they all looked the same to me

If you're fortunate enough to get it lit, simply pop off the burner and it will extinguish itself rapidly. Should you need new burners buy six and if you're lucky you will have two that actually work. Don't expect a refund. Oh yeah. You will not have an easy time unwrapping the new burners,

It will shut itself off, but eventually it will turn itself back on, once the element cools. I use it for simmering and hardly notice the shut off. That feature is a pain when I am trying to fry something.

This was a gift for my sister and she LOVES IT. She has gas burners so I dont have a solid answer for you. My only concearn would be a food or grease build up that wasnt completely cleaned off being between the glass top burner and the pan. I personally have a glass top stove and would be reluctant to use it.

Yes. I've read that all non stick pans need to be pre seasoned so I did with all of my orgeenics. Spray with non stick spray and wipe the excess with a paper towel. Don't wipe it all off. Then put it on the burner and turn the burner on medium. Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. Watch it as different stoves have different "mediums". Great pan.
