What types of play pots and pans will work on the burners so they don't overlap the edges ? What is the diameter of the burners?

We use the IKEA Duktig pots and pans, and they are proportionate. Two of the burners are 3.5" and the other two are 4.25" in diameter.

Yes, a 12" pot will sit on the burner. I imagine that a 14" might also. Only the center 10.5" of the pot will get heated. I tried a 12" pot.

I have a glass top and it works on my burners great. I use 2 burners to heat this pot for canning jars. It's 14in across,I love it cause it's big enough for a lot of jars. I haven't filled it with food yet, it would make a ton of chili.

I'm not sure about your model stove, but the drip pans measure (from outside edge to outside edge) 9.5" for the large one and 7.5" for the three smaller ones.

Depends on how big the stovetop is and how the burners are arranged.Measure it.

You have to make sure that you are ordering the 8 in. Sometimes the descriptions are misleading, so be sure to read everything. Burners are pretty standard, 6 in. for the small and 8 in for the large.

The surface size is 6-7/8" that touches the burner, then it goes out to 7-5/8" wide if you need that too. P.S it is the best little pan I have ever owned. We us it all the time and so easy to clean.

We have a glass stove so I didn't pay much attention to the measurements as ours is a flat surface. There is the little lip edge on around the sides of the griddle, so as long as you check the measurements so that it sits around your burners it should be okay. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

This MaxiMatic is the second single burner I have owned. I remember reading that one should not use a pot or pan that is wider than the burner. (Possibly for safety reasons - - think of accidentally tilting. The model I have is ~ 8 1/2" in width.) 12" pots or pans would overhang. Also, my burner is elevated about 3 1/4" above the cabinet top surface. (Easier to tilt an overhanging pot or pan.) The burner is certainly powerful enough to bring liquids to boil. [I actually use mine more than the burners on my range top. So convenient, and has good levels of controls to adjust for whatever food is to be cooked.)

My son uses the wooden pots set from Melissa and Doug. They are a little small for the kitchen but still look normal and cover the "burner".

I used a smaller kitchen pot it worked fine. Just be aware it may ruin the bottom by leaving black streaks from the flame.

They fit perfect on three of the reg size burners, tappan standard size stove but the large burner I have to adjust the size, cut a sliver off. They are like the ones in the store but so much cheaper!!!

I use mine on a glass top range, even the heavy pressure cooker. Trick is to not cover the entire burner with the pot, leave a little exposed and the heat regulates itself properly. If I put the pots so that they cover the entire burner, the burner doesn't heat properly.

Great Question - My 8" Burner that came out of my stove and the New one going back in was 8 3/4" Diameter. I guess it was close enough. Mine is working just great now, the old one had a connector wire burned out but I went ahead and replaced it with the new one. Wife is Happy Now.

I'm not sure on that exactly but they fit perfectly on the burners on our wooden kitchen. Unlike other play sets, that are way too small.

The Owner's Manual states: "NEVER place or straddle a cooking pot or utensil over 2 different surface cooking zones heating at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and could cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture." I've found that the burners aren't very picky about pot sizes; best practices would be to use a pan/pot with a bottom not more than 1/2 inch larger than the max size markings, or less than 1/2 inch smaller than the min size markings.
