Mine gets as hot as a regulat stove.
Mine absolutely does not. I am even using a Le Creuset cast iron pan which should retain a lot of the heat. Once I put the ground meat in, the pan cools down and I almost get 'boiled' ground beef.
Just now I tried letting the pan get to smoking where the windows are all open and I am worried the smoke alarm is going to go off. I added the meat - slowly so the pan doesn't lose heat rapidly. Stirred it, broke it up, added a little more. By the time I added all of it, the pan was cooled down quite a bit, and again is not browning the meat and does not get back to sizzling.
I've done this meal 100 times on my NG stove at home and never had an issue. Even did it on an electric stove a few weeks ago with no problem.
