5.0 out of 5 stars Works great
Thought I would give an honest review, no compensation or anything. 1.5 qt pot, 2 eggs from the refrigerator and covered with cold water. Put pot in and turned unit on high. 4 minutes small bubbles appear, 5 minutes steam appears 8 minutes audible bubbles and small boil, 10 minutes large rolling boil. Had to reduce temp due to some splash over. 20 minutes eggs hard boiled. Handles stayed cool. Unit base got very hot. Don’t touch. Overall comparable to a stovetop. Works good.
5.0 out of 5 stars Not just any hot plate
This unit really works! And, Yes!! It gets hot! The entire unit gets hot!! The handles remain “touchable” BUT DO NOT MOVE THIS UNIT UNTIL IT’S COMPLETELY COOLED!!! And it takes a long while to completely cool down. I didn’t have any trouble heating a medium large pot to a roiling boil, just know it’ll take longer than a conventional range top to reach boiling. It’s a “hot plate,” not a two burner conventional range top. I found the temperature settings easy to navigate.It stores easily on any shelf. Light weight but not cheaply flimsy. A great addition to any kitchen, whether indoors or out. I’m using it in a small kitchenette studio apartment. Product description is accurate.
4.0 out of 5 stars It works good enough to get by...
I like this hotplate for when I'm using a cast iron skillet on top of it. Since cast iron holds heat pretty well, it works well for scrambling or frying eggs, or frying ham slices, or anything that can sit right on the surface of the skillet or pot. The reason I bring that up is because of the weird thermostat control even when it set high as it can go. They tell you to preheat the burner before putting a pot or pan on it ,which I usually do until it shuts itself off for the first time. That usually takes about 5-6-7 minutes. By that time, you can actually see the cast iron hot plate top glowing red slightly. But that's where the weird stuff starts happening regarding the thermostat. Once you put whatever on top of the burner, the thermometer won't stay on longer than about 5-10 seconds at a time before shutting itself off. Sometimes, it'll stay on 2-3 seconds before shutting itself off. This is not a hotplate that I'd try to use to cook something like beans, or anything that would normally take a long time to cook like corned beef or something; I'd imagine that it could easily take 24 hours...no joke. So like I said, I use it to cook eggs, or pancakes, or I split hotdogs and put them in a iron skillet to fry; small stuff. I haven't tried to boil anything on it, because I believe it would take too long to bring a decent sized pot up to a boil, if it ever did at all. If they could fix the thermostat issue, it would be a perfect hotplate, because the cast iron top gets very hot, and long after you cut it off, it's still pretty hot, so that's a testament to how well it holds heat.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little hot plate
We got this hot plate after trying several that were not very good. This hot plate has been used by us for about a week and it works well. The size is small but large enough to place our largest pan. The temperature control is easy to use and easy to see. There is also a light that lets you know if the plate is heating. One nice feature is the handles on each side that don't get hot, making it safe to move while it is still hot.

Have had it for about a week now and all is working well. No complaints so far!
3.0 out of 5 stars Instructions are vague. Happy experimenting!
The only disappointing thing is that the instructions does not explain anything about actual pan temp. This is not a typical "hotplate". The actual place you put your pan is upon a cast iron plate that is mounted atop a heating element below. The temp knob has "MIN", "MAX" and a few dots between them. MAX will ignite the air around it and MIN won't cook eggs... It's taking me some time to find the right setting so that I don't scorch the pan or the food in it. Once the top plate gets hot, it stays HOT for a LONG time. Do not leave it plugged in unattended. I'm slowly acclimating to it and don't regret getting it. It's better than induction, to be honest.
5.0 out of 5 stars Two burner hotplate
I love it. So glad I decided to buy it. Two eyes on my stove get to hot and do no why. This is perfect. I can fry and egg or scramble and does not burn.
Hot plate
Exactly what I wanted
This appliance is rated for 120volt operation which is not widely available in the UK.
I am unable to test and rate the product since it is for 120v operation. In all other respects it appeared on paper to meet all my requirements and is beautifully styled and robustly constructed. Sorry if I have missed the information but I cannot see any voltage rating on your ad - only one reference to power consumption.
Works great
Making diner at camp with..and it's a sharm
Excellent plaque chauffante
J'adore ma plaque chauffante, elle cuit très bien les aliments. Je la recommande fortement.
Excellent cooktop
Cooks my meals very fast. The large burner is incredibly fast. The small burner does a good job as well. Will buy another one if needed.
