Do the burners get hot enough to boil potatoes or blacken fish?

Mine didn't and burned out in less than a month. The large side went first, then the small one wouldn't get hot enough to melt butter.

Boil potatoes- yes. Blacken fish might take a while. I never burned anything even though I frequently walked away from cooking.

Yes, these burners will heat hot enough to boil water and potatoes, and blacken fish.
50240
Yes, but the down side was, we had the big burner stop working in about two months.

I use mine to can with boils water well but the larger the pot the longer it takes heats up quick and well worth the money I have single and dual burner love them both hope this helps

Yes, I know for sure that the smaller burner does. The bigger burner didn't last long at all and I only used it twice on a lower setting.

This makes the best blackened fish. I do it all the time on a gas grill, so a propane burner should be just fine.

Absolutely yes. The amount of blackening is a function of how high the flame is set by the gas control valve. If you have a thick steal ( 1" or more ) you can sear the steak for 2 minutes per side and then reduce the flame to finish cooking.

The cooking surface is quite adequate. Recently, Super Bowl Sunday we were having a party and I had two very large pots, one 20 quart and one 25 quart on the burners together and nom problem, one was steaming potatoes and corn on the cob, and the other was boiling shrimp. Kay Lowery

Yes, but it is not recommended. When I first got it I did heat it directly on the burner, but I don't anymore

Yes you can take the griddle off and use the burners to boil a pan of water or whatever you want to use it for.

Gas is probably better for heat distribution. But electric burners will work as long as they make contact with the pan.

Haven't checked on times, sorry. That burner is HOT, though, would not take long. You need to be careful of aluminum pans with thin bottoms, it will warp them and if you let them boil dry it will burn through, I am told.

Yes I do it all the time. This cookware boils things faster. EXCELLENT. You get the least contaminants from glas. Enjoy

Can you describe in more detail what you mean by "burned?" The pot is titanium so it has a very high melting point. If you cook over a dirty flame it will get black like anything.

Yes as long as you par cook them first (either boil or microwave). You don't need to cook very long just soften them up a bit. The other trick for this item is to spray PAM on the blades. I had trouble with regular potatoes so contacted the company and they told me both these tricks.

Yes, or they will scorch. Do squeeze excess water out before putting on pans.

From my experience they only get hot if you're cooking something else and the handle of the one is near the burner of another. Just the pan by itself on the burner does not get hot when cooking. We use a regular gas stove if that makes any difference.

Qualified yes. Remember these are light weight pans for backpacking; not quite like cooking in the home kitchen. I use a burner metal pad to help even out the heat and lessen over heating. Works great.(my metal pad is the bottom of another older fry pan cut out to fit my stove)

Sure, if they've been boiled for awhile. Seems kind of rough on your motor, if they were not boiled enough to be kind of soft. (you are making pet food, aren't you?)

absolutely. that's exactly what I have. heats up within seconds, literally. these are great pans. the utensils are really sturdy as well. invest in some bar keeper's friend to polish your cookware when it starts to look dingey.

yes but you have to be very careful as you can overheat the fish pretty quickly with this unit.
