Hello -

This is my first post but I have been lurking on this wonderful site for quite a while as we will soon be remodeling our condo. I have been reading the kitchen forum avidly and have noted down several helpful suggestions.

The condo currently has an electric range, but gas might be a possibility as there is a gas heater in the condo. Having read the various comments on this site, and given my preferences, my ideal is to install a 2- or 3-element induction cooktop, and a 2-element gas cooktop. Gas is for clay-pot cooking, and certain other forms of Indian cooking (roasting roti or papad). Since the kitchen is quite small, I want to limit the total cooktop space to about 36-40 inches horizontally. I went through the various models over at the induction site and the Diva DDPH3 model seems to be the best choice. Has anyone here used this model, or any other Diva induction models?

Of course, if the condo HOA denies permission to extend the gas line, I will go with the above Diva or some other 30-inch induction cooktop.
