Abstract
A device for raising and dropping the burner element in an electric range wherein cookware is supported upon a plurality of rigid posts and the burner element is raised and dropped in a plane parallel to the plane comprised by the bottom surface of the cookware. This allows the user to obtain radiant heat transfer for more even cooking. In addition, it allows the cookware to cool much more quickly without removing it from the range than traditional electric ranges where the cookware rests directly upon the burner element.
