Review: Well made for canning - I use it constantly for canning so I don't occupy my kitchen stove. It's extremely sturdy and well built. Because of the cast iron it does take a little time heating up but it's worth every second. I can all year long, there's always something you can preserve. I ordered one unit and used it for a few months and was so pleased I got a second one. I would seriously recommend this product to anyone that is serious about canning or wants a dependable second source for cooking.
Review: Reliable, easy to use. - What a glass-top stove saver! I use this hot plate twice a week for dipping and frying tortillas. It heats up quickly and keeps the hot oil from marring my glass stove top. I've used this hot plate for just under a year, and it's one of the few kitchen items I will be taking with me when I move.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the stainless steal housing get too hot to touch when it is on? how about the knob?**
A: The knob does not get hot.The metal body gets extremely and dangerously hot to the touch.

**Q: Is the temperature control continuously variable, or does it have just a few settings?**
A: The thermostat is continuously variable, making this a real cooking appliance, as opposed to an induction cooktop with 7 or 8 settings. Cadco makes real appliances that anyone who cooks can appreciate. In the end I decided to return this Cadco model and went for the larger 220volt cooktop as I want to also use it for large stockpots, at least 16 quart. These are professionals quality items, so they'll cost more but worth it in my opinion.

**Q: will this work on a USA 110 three prong electric outlet?**
A: Yes, it will. I have used this type of hot plate for many years.

**Q: Is there a maximum temp cutoff switch?**
A: the knob is the only way to control the temperature. Low and high. No other switch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Canning!
*by J***N on December 10, 2023*

I purchased this hot plate after updating my stove to a glass top and being worried about putting a pressure canner on top of it. I will say, I was hesitant to spend the money on Cadco because it was a bit expensive. However, I ADORE how it has changed my canning. I have a smaller space to can and moving my pressure canner to a hot plate has given me more space. I put a towel under it and it sits to the left of my stove. I have the things I am canning on the right of my stove top and work on the left side of my stove top. It keeps the heat and saves me so much space. I highly recommend!
