A:Answer Notice how the Insignia rep didn't actually answer the question, referring only to the size of the "cooking zone" instead?? Since the Insignia cooktop manual claims it can use 5.5"-8.3" cookware, it's likely that the induction element is less than 5.5", as I don't think you want an induction element larger than the pan/pot you're using. I don't have this unit, but am familiar with other similar units.
