I agree.
But what I wonder about is people wanting to do much cooking in warm weather

Jam-making? Although I understand that Agas aren't great at concentrated
batches of on-the-hob cooking like jam-making because the plates cool down.

Actually, that suits jam making. Masisve pot on to boil, then shift to the
slow hob and let it simmer and reduce..which it will.

That plate will just about sustain as simmer indefinitely..but if it
doesn't then use the hot one again for the last hour or so.

After jam making who wants to cook a roast dinner anyway? give the kids a
cold salad.
