  • Much, much better than many reviews report
Style: Cast Single
I almost didn't order one of these because of so many negative reviews. But I have to tell you, it works wonderfully and I am extremely happy with it after 3 weeks of use. I use it nearly every day, at least once a day. Packaging is solid. The unit boils water with no problems whatsoever. Just to give readers an idea how I tend to use this hot plate, I mainly use it to boil water for making soups and ramen, or to boil rice and beans. Being single, I only need to cook for one person, so the amount of water I need to boil never exceeds 3 cups at a time. This unit provides plenty of power to do this (can't remember for sure, but I believe this hot plate is 1000 watts). I never need to use it for more than 12 minutes or so at a time. It boils 2 1/2 cups of water in about 7 minutes (very respectable in my opinion). When I'm making just rice or rice and beans, I bring it to a boil for 5 minutes, then I turn the unit off because I place the pot I'm using into an insulated pot cozy for 20 minutes more to finish cooking without the need to use more energy. Some reviewers reported the power indicator light goes out. And yes, sometimes it does. This is because once the iron plate heats up to temperature, the heat element turns itself on and off to maintain the temperature you have selected, not because it's shorting out. The first 2 or 3 times I used the hot plate, there was a faint smell from the hot plate. Most likely it was from a factory coating placed on the heating element when it was manufactured to protect it from corrosion during shipping/storage. After using it a couple of times, I smell nothing but good food cooking. I was never concerned about it catching fire, like other reviewers have reported. I don't know how long some reviewers who left negative opinions were using this hot plate, and maybe they really did have major issues with this particular model of hot plate. But no one with problems mentions how long they had the unit on before experiencing their issues. Since I don't plan on making seven course meals on this single burner hot plate, and don't need to have it on more than 15 minutes at a time, I don't expect to ever have a problem with this product. Even if this hot plate conks out on me right now, I feel it was well worth the twenty bucks. I suspect it will last a very long time because the build quality is very simple but durable, maybe with the excemption of the temperature selection knob which feels a little flimsy (though it is not wobbly or jiggly, just a little too easy to turn in my opinion). But I'm only planning on using that to dial to the temperature I need, not swing on it. It turns on, it turns off. When you're done with it, unplug it like you should unplug every other appliance that's not being used. Extremely pleased with this product. In fact, in the time it took to boot up my computer and write this review, my rice was finishing cooking in it's pot cozy. And now it's done. I have no complaints whatsoever, and I would highly recommend this hot plate for someone like myself who wishes to make very simple meals. Update, August 2013: Had this hot plate for 2 1/2 years now, and it continues to work fine after nearly daily use. The temperature selection knob has gotten a little wobbly, and it feels like it could pull off if I were to try to do so, but it seems to work equally well today as when it was brand new. For a $20 hot plate it could burn out tomorrow and I'd still be pleased with the service it's given me (though I expect it will continue to work for years to come). ... show more

  • NIce but the white frame gets too hot
Style: Cast Single
I really like this hot plate. It works well and gets the job done. (Our new stove is delayed by at least a month so this is a fill-in for now.) I have made a lot of nice meals on this hot plate and it boils water great for my morning coffee. The temperature control knob feels loose and flimsy but it does seem to be true to the temp I set it at. However, I don't recommend this and probably would not buy again because the entire thing -- the entire white housing around the hot plate -- gets really really hot. Too hot to touch. This doesn't seem right and doesn't feel safe. So I'm very careful with it. Also, I should've gotten one with two burners. I gave it four stars because it does work well but I'm worried about how hot the entire thing gets. ... show more

  • Works very well.
Style: Coiled Single
I bought the burner to temporarily place in my barbeque for smoking five 2# blocks of sharp cheddar cheese for gifting my daughters. Aluminum foil, a steel pan and the smoking pellets (I use apple wood) make the actual smoking setup. A wire rack to set the cheese on next to the smoker setup. Quite simple and easy to use. Just remember to tent foil off the burner so that the cheese can't 'see' the burner. Make sure the barbeque is off and fully cooled. We only use the barbeque as a smoke container - we never turn the barbeque on, never. Never turn the barbecue on during smoking. Always use a cooled barbeque to begin smoking. Also when done smoking always remember the wood pellets in the steel pan are burning. Let them burn in a safe location. Do not pour water on the burning wood pellets in the steel pan while they are sitting on the ELECTRIC burner. If you must, unplug the ELECTRIC burner then pour water on the wood pellets in the steel pan. I place the burner on the barbeque rack on one side. I fill the steel pan with how much smoking pellets I want to use (usually ½ to ¾ full of pellets and NO WATER) and fold a doubled over layer of aluminum foil to seal the pan with pellets. Make the doubled over aluminum foil sufficient long so after folding like a top pie crust on the pan, it can be directed out and down the shield the burner element from the cheese. Put five or six random small ⅛ inch or so holes in the doubled over aluminum foil on top of and sealing the pan to let the smoke out. I don't want the aluminum foil to melt or bump something and short out so mine hangs out and down below the burner but does not ever actually touch the burner. But it can be very close (¼ inch away) just not touching the burner. Place the cheese on a cooking oil sprayed wire rack or stainless wire splash screen far away from the aluminum foil sealed, apple wood pellet partially filled smoke maker pan and burner (also inside the barbeque just on the extreme other side of the inside of the barbeque). Turn the burner to about '6' to get the wood pellets to burn then drop the burner down to #2 to #4 to sustain burning and smoking. Close the lid on the barbecue and let it smoke away. The barbecue will warm some from the smoking energy. I do my cheese smoking when it is cool outside (preferably less than 55°F). This helps keep the cheese from melting. I notice a lot of smoke wafting from the barbeque and that is normal. When it is in the 40's outside, I place something over the barbeque to slow the loss of smoke to retain some heat in the burning smoke pellets pan. A plastic large lawn bag over the barbeque helps retain the smoke and keep things going on a cold day. I generally smoke with as cool a smoke as possible by doing it on a cool day out of the sun or preferably at night. I let the smoke go for at least ½ hour, but usually 1 hour. I smoke raw meat the same way and at the same time. Just position the meat closest to the burner and keep it and it's drips off the cheese. Don't put the cheese on the bloody rack. That's it. In the morning after everything is cooked down, I remove the burner and wipe it down, I remove the pan to the sidewalk. Remove the aluminum foil and fill the burnt pellets in the pan with water and let the burnt wood pellets soak in the steel pan underwater for an hour stirring occasionally to ensure any microembers are extinguished. Then I place the burnt wood pellets in a steel container STEEL CONTAINER away from the house, car, outbuildings, etc. And on garbage day the the garbage cans to the curb then decanted the water off into the grass and dumped the extinguished and soaked burnt smoking pellets directly into the garbage can AT THE CURB away from cars, trailers, etc. The charred wood pellets help deodorize the garbage can. This is an electric burner review and it works perfectly, controllably, stable, and reliably to smoke cheese inside a closed lid barbeque. I can only imagine how well it will work operating as it was designed to as a burner on the table. ... show more
