If you rinse the strainer with water before adding the coffee, the grounds won't fall thru the little one holes.
dont buy coffee grounds -- its 90 percent filler -- trees bark ??
Great tip
If you use the small filters for the drip maker in your percolator basket, clean up is very easy.
I remember back in the late 60's and 70's at my grandparents in the early morning smelling coffee percolating on top of the wood stove and the smell of bacon and eggs homemade biscuits all waffling through the house. I'm 61 now and every morning smelling coffee percolating on the stove takes me back to them good old days. Thank you for sharing your memories.
Yep, those were great memories 👍
Same. I use a percolator when we’re camping or at the campfire here at home. My Gramma’s house had wood stoves, wonderful memories.
@@petebeasttexashomesteadingHi Pete thanks for you video !! So at the end of your video you say 7 mins. Do you wait for your coffee or boil or start hitting the glass knob? Then lower heat and start you 7 mins? Thanks!!
plus these days you can have all that readymade in store, its garbage buts its edible.
Don't over tighten the glass top. It will crack when heated. Just barely snug.
I got rid of my drip pot about 6 months ago. Using electric percolator. Makes a hotter cup and smells great too! My grandfather taught me how to drink coffee very young also.
👍
I love mine the camping section has the best ones
I use a regular coffee filter and just push it down over the metal tube and let it poke through the filter.
I used to line the basket with a filter but after trying it without the filter, I really don't get much fine silty grounds working their way into my cup. Yes there is often enough to cover most of the bottom of my cup at times, depending on how fine the coffee is ground, but not enough to be a nuisance. I heard somewhere that using a filter, the filter tends to soak up some of the flavorful oils from the coffee, making it have less flavor.
I remember the smell of fresh stove made coffee and bacon frying, from when I was a kid, at my great grandma's house. There's no smell like it, so good. I used to love to watch the water in the little window at the top, when I was a kid, just sitting at the table, watching her cook breakfast. Thanks for the reminder of great memories!
I have those precious memories too!
I was entertained as much as a kid could possibly be, total paradise, Norman Rockwell universe!
I know what you mean. I was introduced to coffee at the age of 5. The way that happened may surprise you. I kept seeing the adults drink coffee and sensed that they really enjoyed it so I kept asking for coffee every morning. They always said, "No, you are too young to drink coffee" which made me think there must be something wrong with drinking coffee. So I said, "If you don't let me have some coffee, I'm going to tell people that you drink coffee" which caused a lot of laughing around the breakfast table. So finally, the foster mom said, "Okay, I'll give you some coffee, but you can't have anything in it." I was not aware that anything could be put in it since they drank their coffee black. So I said, "Okay" to which they gave me the strongest black coffee that I've ever come across in my adult life. But it was DELICIOUS!! I suspect they tried to make the coffee taste horribly strong so I would stop asking for it, but it backfired. I loved that srong black coffee and from that day forward, I had coffee every morning.
i always hated how adults thought they were all that and you debunked that nonsense
Thanks for sharing this. My Grandfather used to “saucer” his coffee to cool it. He would raise the saucer way up to pour it back into the cup. Of course he would have all of our undivided attention.
My grandpa did the saucer too but he would drink it out of the saucer. lol By the time grandma had served others coffee he was ready for another cup lol Good memories of grandma and grandpa ❤
Yes I can remember someone in my past perhaps my mother and grandmother doing that to cool their coffee you brought back an old memory
I think that is the ITALIAN way to drink coffee. Out of the saucer.
I still drink my coffee from a percolating pot 👍🏻
Best ever.
Awesome 👍
I still use an early 1960s revere ware copper bottom stove top percolator. Best coffee ever. IMO.
One other aspect of the old Revere Ware Perc is the wider size of the glass cap, helps to distribute the water out more evenly over the grounds.
I got a percolator three months ago.... love it. The sound, the aroma, the taste... win win win! A great way to start the morning.
From what I have heard the Swiss method of decaffeinating utilizes carbonated water, the same stuff used to make your cola drinks or any carbonated drink. Also percolator grind is even coarser than drip grind. What I remember when I shopped at Kroger Supermarkets they had a grinder that you could set the coarseness of the grind. Their 8 O'Clock coffee was fantastic.
wowww... lol its the visuals of when you say the whole house smelled of coffee. love that alone ill have to get a percolator
In the "Olden Days" we had a coal stove that was kept burning 24/7 kept a coffee pot on it the same. No percolator. It would hold about a gallon of water, pour in a cup of coffee grounds and let it stay there until ready for use. Then pour in a cup of cold water to settle the grounds, then start filling up the cups. When the pot got low, fill it up with water, add another cup of coffee grounds. When the grounds built up after several days, through them in the garden along with the stoves ashes, wait for Spring to start planting. Today we use a glass percolator coffee pot bought at the antique store, keep 4 on hand in case we break one. There harder to find anymore.
We use a Mr Coffee drip coffee maker. It is Great ! ! !
Just purchased a Electric perculator coffee pot on eBay Retiring my Black & Decker drip maker. My parents used the old school coffee maker now I know why. Thanks ☕
there one thing you can do in stead of filters take the basket and run cold water thru it and the well rinse out the percolator with cold water then fill the basket with the grounds , the cold water keeps the grounds in the basket and no grounds in your coffee
That's what I want; a good re-creation of the 1957 perking coffee and either waffles or pancake aromas!
No matter how expensive the fresh coffee -- freshly ground -- can't seem to get the nostalgic aroma from the French Press method. So I'm going to get perking too!
I purchased an electric percolator coffee pot and a timer to plug the coffee pot into it. Now my coffee brews automagically! Works great, tastes the best! Beats any brewing method out there, in my opinion.
That is awesome! 👍
I hate electric appliances anywhere they aren't absolutely necessary, I'd rather brew some coffee on the stove over use an electric coffee maker any day of the week, so much more enjoyable and satisfying in my opinion and personally have never had an issue with having to fill a pot and ignite the stove after getting up, never noticed myself longing for a timed electrical appliance that can operate itself. I actually prefer the morning routine of grinding some beans half asleep and gradually coming alive as the coffee smell gets stronger and stronger lol
Thanks Pete, I am 57 and remember my parents using this method too. We had one for camping trips as well that we used on a small cook stove.
Awesome 👍
My grandpa would spoon feed me coffee soaked bread at 6 mos...YUMMY!!
Why did they get rid of percolators? See all that WORK?? And you have to CLEAN the basket when you are done and it won't be ready when you get up in the morning! ;) Plus they can make a LOT more money selling the fancy electronic coffee makers. Your percolator will never break so they can't sell you a new one every so many years.
👍
One could imagine they invented calcium/scale (pun intended!) and added it to the water, just to make us buy new heater elements or better, whole machines which are sealed shut and break down in 5 years.
If you wet the basket (filter) before you add the coffee there will be no grounds in the coffee. No need for paper filters at all.
These should be the way forward , simple great results , you wait longer , in a world of instant everything , the smell while you wait is such a nice part of the total experience . 😊
I watched my grandma drink coffee and always wanted it haha she would tell me no because I would not grow. Every so often they would give me a cup of café con leche… I still didn’t grow lol I’m only 5 ft😅
I keep a percolator in the house for power outages. We just had a tornado in our town May 3 and another a few miles south of us May 4. We were without power for 3 days, but I had my coffee! If you can find them, try the Brew Rite wraparound coffee filters. Has a hole in the middle for the stem and a hole in all four corners. Put it in the basket on the stem add the coffee, and fold the corners over onto the stem. Makes clean up a breeze. Especially nice when camping and conserving water. I've had a few grounds sneak past the flat filters.
👍
What was old (fashion) is NEW again!
👍
So glad to see so many people are going back to basics. I just got a new percolator and love it. Love waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. You don't get that with Kcups.
I didn't like coffee at all until I tasted my friend's grandmother's coffee. It was stovetop percolated and it changed my mind. I don't drink anything else. It is rich but not acidy, which is the bit I don't like.
Stella Doro cookies OH YES!! I have purchased a corningware pot and I do not think I will ever go back to coffee pods, autodrip or anything else but perking it back on the stove like my parents and my grandparents did! And the house smells so good! When you said Stella Doro I just had to leave a comment. Here's to a cup of coffee! (a tip - if you wet the stem and basket you will not get those grounds on the bottom.) try it. The filters take away from the naturalness of the coffee imho ciao
I'm disappointed in drip coffee taste, and I remember how good percolator coffee was, I never used a filter that I can remember.
I visited my Mother and she has a percolator, I fell in love and had to have one. I hate my drip because it's weak and watery, but when I did perk it it was way to strong. Sooo Thanks for the correct measurments, I can't wait....
Pete, you can’t imagine how appropriate your video was today!!! Just yesterday my doctor read me the riot act on drinking caffeinated coffee!! I have horrific acid reflux and have a constant burn!!! I promised that I’d try decaf but I knew I would have to give up drinking coffee altogether because I can’t stand a weak coffee!!! Please share your brand of coffee. A million thanks for giving me hope!!!!!
Wow so this was a G-dsend to you. See our Father in heaven knew this ahead of time and loves you and Pete so much that HE put it into Pete's mind to make this video. Have a blessed weekend.
I put links to the coffee's I use in the description under the video, also try changing your diet. I used to be a heavy meat eater years ago and I had similar problems. I changed to a plant based diet and my heart burn and acid went away.
I cut out cookies and cake type desserts and any extra sugar and my heartburn went away
Try drinking room temperature lemon water first thing in the morning. It will help build stomach acid. 99% of diagnosed acid re-flux,too much acid, is actually low stomach acid. Apple cider vinegar before bed will help also. It is great in aiding the organs of digestion.
@@cristobalpacheco4202 - That seems to work for me, too. I think maybe it's the carb overload that causes the reflux.
Fellow coffee drinker here! I never cared much for the drip coffee makers & my coffee always came terrible! I don’t know what I was doing wrong, but it was always a let down. 😔 I was forced to buy my coffee, frequenting DD, local diners, etc but I developed quite a taste for 7-11 exclusive blend. Fast forward a few decades & I discovered the keureg pod machines. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. The convenience of having it at home in my pjs was welcome. I discovered the percolator when I was having frequent power outages on particular summer. I got a gift of a percolator & decided to give it a test run in case the power went out. I was hooked & drink it like that every day!
That 7-11 exclusive blend is UNDERRATED! 🔥
Drip coffee makers are abused .you shouldn't not keep it on after the coffee is made .you should drink it fast enough that it would stay hot for at least 20 mini minutes otherwise you are still cooking your brew
I bought an electric percolator for my office because the Keurig coffee there was unbearable. Now people stop by my office for a cup, hehe.
Just a thought but larger the ground up been the longer to percolate and more flaver its seems, and the grounds dont go threw rhe holes
Love percolated coffee!
Ahhh....the memories run strong. Thank you !
Hi I really enjoyed your video! I remember my parents making this coffee when I was young! It was amazing! The whole house smelled like it! I was wondering if I could use this coffeemaker with a ceramic top stove or glass top? I don’t have gas for the stove. I know I could use an electric percolator, but I don’t know if it’s as good. Also, what kind of grinder do you have? Is it a burr grinder? I have been wanting to get one but don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on one. Do you use Folgers beans? What type of coffee beans do you get? You seem to have this to a perfect science!! I am trying to learn. Thank you I enjoyed this so much! It was interesting and helpful! Thank you! PS- I grew up with the Stella doro cookies. They are still my favorite! I have to order them now because I live in the Midwest. I lived in New York for many years.
Electric percolators work great too. I'm not sure if you can use this percolator on a ceramic stove top you'll have to check the manufacturer's website. I use a good organic whole bean coffee and a burr grinder to grind them. Yep those Stella doro cookies were great growing up.
One of my oldest memories of my dad. He made the coffee every morning and it was a wonderful smell. Thank you for the memory of my childhood.
👍
Me too
My dad had a glass Pyrex percolator, and we kids were not allowed to touch it for fear it would get broken. I checked on line & vintage Pyrex coffee pots are now very expensive.
Yup, my dad brewing up a pot to fill his thermos to take to work, or even better, to go fishing at 5 a.m. with me!
One time through sells more coffee. It’s marketing that we have fallen for through the years.
Great video Pete. It's amazing how our sense of smell and taste can be powerful reminders of the dear people in our lives. I'm in my fifties and I have a deck of italian playing cards that belonged to my Nonno whom I used to play scopa with. He used to smoke a pipe back then and the cards were kept in a drawer with the fresh tobacco which infused the cards. That tobacco scent now brings me back to my childhood with my Nonno . Enjoy your percolator Pete, I'm sure the coffee has that special ingredient again. BTW thanks for your videos I truly appreciate your efforts.
Yep those are great memories. You just reminded me of going to my ant and uncles house, they would play scopa all evening and my ant would have her percolator coffee brewing. Good memories.👍
Heck, been using a percolator for decades
I also started drinking coffee with my parents as a tiny little girl….I know I hadn’t started school yet, and can barely remember, but I think I was 3-4 yrs old. At first it was mostly sugar and milk with a little coffee in it. But we gradually started adding more coffee as I got older. I grew up in Alabama so I also grew up drinking iced tea. Out of my 65 yrs on this earth I have been caffeine free for 2-3yrs. 😅😅😅😅
The filters you show are bleached. You can buy (brown) unbleached filters which are better for you.
If you click the Amazon link for the filters in the description, they are described as "chlorine free". Not sure if that makes them ok, but I just wanted to clarify that point.
Cowboy coffee just a pot water boil settle pour good coffee real coffee and I use the cheapest I can fond 2.68 for 10 oz
Right on! I drink cowboy coffee all the time,love it. Percolator is good also.
Don't forget to take out the basket before you pour.
I hate the one that doesn’t have the glass on top of that like watching it bubble up through there good content subscribed to your channel
Thank you 👍
My father made coffee with a glass percolator. Metal rings went around the glass pot to hold the handle in place.
My wife has a small Italian metal percolator . It works quite well.
I use pods from Aldi. Pod coffee is fine for me though percolated coffee has a much smoother and less harsh taste. Plus the smell of fresh coffee in the morning is right up there with baking bread.
👍
Sounds like your dad had a Pyrex flameware percolator. There are my favorite. Its my go to pot every day. I've been using it for 20+ years. It makes the best coffee once you figure it out.
, I just gave away my Keurig and ordered a glass percolator, I haven't made coffee that way since I live with my mother in my twenties. I had to watch the video refresh my memory, LOL
I’m just learning how to do this, my first time, and I’m in my 60s. Once you begin seeing water in the top glass piece, is that when to begin timing for 7 minutes, or when the water is brown? Thank you!
You can start timing it when it starts perculating for 7 to 9 minutes.
Thank you!
Well almost what I do, exept I´m using a French press. Good vid Pete...stay safe.
👍
Love the smell of coffee in the mornin...smells like victory..just the smell of it brewin enough to wake u up..great way to start the day..i have the same perculator..coffee is vitamin..
I got really into third wave coffee, buying fresh roasted beans and a nice grinder, along with a 9 bar espresso machine with a steam wand. I can make perfect espresso and lattes with all of that.
But there’s something about a simple stovetop espresso that my machine can’t quite match. It’s that body and smooth boldness that a moka pot produces that’s so unique. I feel I get the most chocolatey notes from the moka pot with a medium-dark roast. Only downside is I can’t sip it slowly and usually down it in a minute or two because it’s so good.
I have always drank Folgers Medium Grind from either a camp pot ( on hunting trips ) or at home from a Cuisinart Two- To - Go maker and it’s all good, No Cream , No Sugar , BLACK !
👍
thank you sir!
I have to agree with you sir! I was lucky to get a pristine 1950s potbelly percolator from GE off of bay and it makes the best coffee! And what’s great about it is once you unplug it you can take it to the table and because it’s built like a tank it stays piping hot. PLUS, it was made in America… we have gotten away from our roots in America and we really need to go back in time with parts of our life’s.
I've got an electric percolator.
My dad always used a percolator and didn't like the Mr. coffee type machine because you couldn't keep it clean.
Thanks Pete. Looks like a great way to make coffee.
👍
I don't like perked coffee but I have to agree that hearing and smelling it perk has a very comforting effect. I prefer "cowboy coffee". There are many videos one can look up on making it. It taste better in my opinion with less bitterness and it is much easier to make. Good video!
deer camp plan 👍👍👍👍👍
This coffee maker makes the most delicious coffee and maybe it's a biased opinion because it tastes just liked my mom's coffee and like you I started drinking coffee very early in life (not everyday) Sundays we had coffee. When I tasted it I went back iiin time right away
Thanks for the instructions on how to percolate coffee and big thanks on that tip regarding decaffeinated coffee (Swiss water method). Whatever I’ve been drinking has a chemical taste to it and I just gave up coffee all together.
Decaf, thems fightin' words.
My grandparents used a small strainer to catch the grounds. They also had a glass pot. I loved watching the coffee brew.
Caffeine is not harmful. You can't make decent coffee in a percolator. Period. It will always taste metallic. Always. Controlling the extraction in a percolator is an art. Timing is everything. There really is only one way to make great - not good - coffee. Freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee, and very short extraction times with 80-90 degree ( not boiling ) in an Aeropress. Coffee percolated for seven minutes is nothing more than a boiled, over-extracted, bitter cup of coffee. If you are used to that flavor, and like it, who am I to second-guess you? As for me, percolator coffee = Army urn coffee...
Just spent 3 weeks traveling the South West (spent 3 incredible days in Chaco Canyon, down to Los Alamos, White Sands and up to Valley of the Gods) with my father. We dry camped a lot on BLM land and were outdoors 90% of the time. We used a percolator on a Coleman 2 burner for our morning coffees. Top grade cups of bubbling crude were served. Got home, fired up the auto drip and have been whelmed by the coffee it produces. It's going to the 2nd hand store.
You make me feel old. I can't believe that there are people out there who don't know how to use the percolator. I ditched my auto-drip many years ago and went back to stove-top percolator. I even go on vacations with a small percolator :)
Thank you for your video. It entertained me this morning while drinking a cup of coffee.
I have been using half caff to help lower my blood pressure. I have a Presto electric percolator for SW Louisiana and a stove top model for our home in North Central Louisiana for my propane burners for power outages. I stumbled across a Moka Pot at an estate sale and can say it makes very strong coffee, espresso like, that I usually add a bit of hot water to dilute it. Also, the Aeropress makes very good coffee, but not sure about the safety of the plastic press.
I have cheap burr coffee grinders, but need to invest in a quality one like yours for more consistent grinds.
So i've been there and back making coffee. be it french press, drip or even one of my favorites the aero press. Still though I remember those days with my grandfather and him making coffee in his pyrex glass percolator. Watching it work would fascinate me and that aroma WOW. Within the next few months I plan to get one of those glass percolators again, So good coffee is coming back to the menu.
There is something special about making coffee this way. For me, it is more engaging and more rewarding, kind of like driving a straight drive sports car. I wet the filter with just a few drops of water to seal out the grounds more effectively.
Pete is always have done that exactly if you want real good coffee, and especially if you want to smell it in the house!😊just like the old Maxwell House ad😂😂
I have a percolator for when the electricity goes out, the neighbors are jealous when I go outside with a fresh cup of percolated coffee! Yum, I'm, going to get one for our vacation too! I remember when they started to tell us that we were boiling the flavor out of the coffee, when the reverse is true, just like everything else, they lied to us.
My grandma used a mini strainer when she poured the coffee into the cups. I’m going to try making coffee this way. My dad will be my taster because I don’t like coffee lol I love the smell of it.
Or... ELECTRIC
Amen Pete, I'm 70 yrs. old. At 4 or 5 yrs, grandma would fix me a cup. Been hooked ever since, stay safe, Terry.
👍🙂
The BEST‼️☕
1:48 - Because it doesnt stop when its done so you can easily make some hideously bitter coffee with it, it tends to burn the coffee from being too hot (brewing should happen below the boiling point of water, not at it) and its messy and finnicky to use compared to other methods.
Why mess around with paper filters or fancy gadgets that you have to clean
---your percolator keeps recirculating the boiling hot coffee through the coffee grounds
---essentially boiling the coffee longer
---I just add the coffee grounds to the cold water in a sauce pan
---let the water saturate the grounds and boil it for 3 minuets
---turn it off, wait one minute, and pour a small amount of cold water into the pan
---that shocks the turbidity and any floating coffee grounds sink to the bottom
---then pour off the top my delicious, well infused (i.e. boiled) "cowboy coffee"
---very simple, no mess
I recently got a pyrex white enamel Percolator at a flea market. I'm 51 btw. So I remember grandmas Percolator. I'm loving it. Very smooth. I'm in your camp. I've been wondering why we ever got away from this. I don't use filters. The trick is to just get the basket wet before putting coffee in it. And yes your whole house will smell wonderful.
THose are great. Just that my old one I love is a electric plug in, but the inside pieces are aluminum. Not great, and the amount of coffee it holds is small.. There is likely a sweet spot, but have not worked it out yet. Besides, I got a new espresso machine and grinder, so very little time for that :-) enjoy! I agree, they are better than most machines. The machines with a PID and brew cycle are pretty good though. Ahh, the filters!!!! (watching the video while I type....SO perfect! Will revisit with filters!
I miss the percolator! I too remember watching the coffee bubble up into the glass cap and the aroma was amazing!
I drink percolator coffee daily. I use a Baratza Encore grinder set on 36 which is almost the coarsest grind setting. This cuts way down on the “fines” and I don’t use filters anymore. Personally, I find the coffee tastes much better without using a filter. Just experiment a little and find what works best for you!
Interesting. I grew up handmade drip coffee and Melitta coffee filters, never tried a percolator.
Have you ever tried the Bialetti Brikka Espresso maker?
I have a Breville espresso machine and two Bieletti stove top espresso makers for back up 👍
I found one in an antique store. It was very slow to open up, and I was afraid of it blowing up.
I'm 40 years old are favorite is a good wood burning stove with are percolator on it that makes the best coffee my wife likes to take some coffee and mix swissmiss cocoa make hot chocolate coffee but we both love the flavor of coffee better made in a percolator on a wood stove its like a taste of heaven
Think cause the coffee recirculates it makes more steam to escape, hence more aroma. But I do remember it was easy to burn the coffee flavor. Good info re filters for these perks. Fresh ground is 80% of the secret of great coffee with any method. Invest in a GOOD quality grinder with "burr" method grinding wheels and not just some sharp blades (cheapo ones).
Percolator tip- use paper filter in basket. Search ‘how to use paper in percolator’ for how to make stem-hole.
OMG I am 80 and have been drinking coffee for 70 plus years!!!! All I drink is caffeinated coffee, preferably the best caffeinated coffee on this planet - - -"Peets" ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Decaffeinated coffee is straight Poison ! ! ! ! ! !
only for campers and then not a good method....temp is MUCH too high and you are reusing coffee grounds during the process...this method may be fine for some...but NOT for people who really enjoy coffee perfection.....the major issue with this method is that you are exposing coffee to boiling water ....you have destroyed it...and the coffee taste burnt and bitter...because it is burnt
I still have my mom’s electric percolator from the 1960’s and it still works!
Ma y thank for taking your precious time to share the process with us, Best wishes KPP nz
Percolators went away b/c- a) drip is faster, b) drip easier to clean-up. I prefer percolator.
After watching this and a few others about Coletti, I purchased one and you're right- For some reason, this thing makes GREAT coffee! Thanks!
I have that exact same percolator. When it starts perking it will overflow the basket. Two solutions…turn the fire down when it starts perking or use a filter in the basket, that keeps the grounds from plugging the little holes in the bottom of the basket. I like your suggestion to use the flat filters since that won’t remove all the oils like the full filters do.
Great video , quick tip. If you don't have filters yiu can cut a circle our if the bottom of a regular size filter. Works great. I loved those good old days too!
I will purchase a particular and try it. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry buddy if youre drinking decaf you aint drinking coffee. I remember drinking coffee at 11 but 3yrs old is a stretch. You want a good cup of joe bring pot to perk turn heat down perk 10 mins grounds in the bottom of the cup is just a bonus
Stovetop percolator > drip coffee maker. Percolated coffee is strong.
Hey Pete, this is cool. I'm 53 and I remember my folks using a percolate to make coffee. I remember my mom had a nice one she used on holidays to make coffee after we pigged out. I'm game, I'm ordering one for my wife. She loves her coffee. I can see this becoming a weekend thing around here. One question though, how long do you leave that on the heat? Looks like we have the same stove (I love that thing)
Awesome 👍 when the pot starts percolating, let it percolate for about 7 minutes then turn off the heat let sit for one minute and pour into you cup.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading I'm sorry, of course you said in the video how long to perc. I need to pay more attention lol.
The paper also filters out some of the oils that cause stomach issues for some people.
Love the gas stove with the center burner. We have one similar with center burner along with hot plate for it.
