If you gonna cook a lot of food, it will take quite a lot of time to get things done because the heat is not enough

They were a little hard to clean, but the heat was pretty good

Expected red light indicator to stay on as long as unit is working, but it dims once in a while once Intense heating stops

I would say to allow 4-5 minutes for sufficient heating.

This portable electric hot plate offers reliable heating and takes up minimal cooking space

Red warning lamp only lights when burner is warming up or re-heating, making unit impossible to identify as "ON" unless I go over to it and feel for heat

This hotplate looks nice but is a piece of junk for anything that requires enough heat to boil water.

Did not like this product, uneven heating, but it was there for me when I had no gas so for emergency purposes it worked

The heat is fast, even, and adjusts to exactly the right temperature for anything I'm heating or cooking

This little puppy heats up fast, boils a small pot of water in no time and temp controls work great for low temps.

but I am really disappointed with this product because the heat is just to slow

Plugged in, put out heat for brief moment and has not worked since

This burner has great even heat and is super portable.

not enough heat to cook

Has lasted over 6 months with daily use, to me it doesn't sewm to keep a consistent heating temp but other than that really a good product.

I have tried some stir fry's and beef liver on high but the burner itself is too small for good heat dispersion, my main pots are 2,3 or 4 quart saucepans around 7 inches in diameter.

Works well. heats up quickly, good variable heat control, cleans easily; sturdy construction, nice appearance.

It is good to keep things warm like teapot or coffee pot but it doesnot provide enough high heat for actually cooking a meat or stuff like that

Sturdy, stable, heats quick, easy to clean,

Now it completely died after infrequent use , no heat at all.

It is also heats well for perfect for a Bialetti Moka pot, again, medium heat only at most !

A great little heating plate; but I wish it didn't take 30-45 minutes to cool off

It constantly shuts off/on so there is no consistent heat when cooking

This heats up extremely fast, extremely hot (even on low/medium setting) and it takes forever to cool down.

I guess if you're roughing it, like camping or something, this would be ideal for boiling water or heating food

The first one we got gave use uneven heat and would not stay consistent

This product's design makes the part that heats up the food very hard to clean as it gets greasy/oily very easily for some reason

The unit stopped working as of Oct 16th

I don't want to risk a

We use it to heat a double-boiler for fondue, as well as for hot-pot.
