Are two kitchen cooktop burners enough?

I occasionally need three. But 90% of the time two would suffice.

Only for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Two is generally enough.

I'll say this, if you tell me I'm responsible for finishing dinner and I should just mind the four pots on four burners, you might as well go ahead and call in the pizza.

I'm not bad in the kitchen, but I'm gonna screw that up every time. That's about 5 tasks too many for me

Similar to the dual ovens, I think people justify having them more than needing them

I always wish mine was spaced out more so you could actually use all 4 at the same time.

You never need to bake 2 things at different temps?

No

Depends on how you cook. Four is plenty for me. I can sauté, cook rice, and do a side dish at the same time, or boil pasta, put together a simple sauce, pan fry something, and cook a side all at the same time. I don’t need more than four. Two would be a PITA and something would be sitting around getting cold or,I’d have to use the microwave more for simple steamed veg sides.

I’d rather have four plus an excellent broiler.

Yep. But never at the same time.

[quote]Even when cooking for a crowd, I don't think I've used more than 2 burners at a time. I'm looking at induction cooktops and would rather get a high quality two burners than a decent 4 burner. Thoughts?[/quote

shite... sometimes 5 aren’t enough. My big oval magnalite covers two burners. A pot of rice, a veggie, and something else, and you’re done.
