Hot Plate, Techwood 1800W Portable Electric Stove for Cooking Countertop Dual Burner with Adjustable Temperature & Stay Cool Handles, 7.5” Cooktop for Home/RV/Camp, Compatible for All Cookware, Red

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.

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.

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.

This cooking plate was perfect for my homeschool cooking class. We turned a science classroom into a cooking class with countertop cooking plates and electric griddles. It was great for boiling water in a stock pot and for sautéing veggies in a large pan.As a watched pot never boils, I would start the water boiling well before I needed it so the water was ready to go once the class began. Cleanup was a breeze! However, it does take a while for the plate to cool before it can be safely stowed after each class.

I bought this after reading several reviews. I recently moved into an older home from the 1920s, and the range that was in here just had to go. I am still renovating and needing something simple to help do some light cooking. After giving it a go, I am so impressed!!Positives * Love the look, I would love a black stainless but the stainless steel is a nice look overall. * Boiled water VERY fast for me, I read some reviews where it was iffy for them but I had no issues at all. Just a medium-sized regular pot for me and it did the job very quickly. * Also was able to scramble some eggs quite quickly as well. Over all, tends to heat thoroughly for me.Negatives * I wish it had a different temperature knob on it, so you knew from "Low - High" etc. You can pretty much figure it out with ease though. * Only other negative I had was, just because I sometimes run about doing other things, I wish it had an alarm that could be set to remind that its turned on. Yes, it has a light so you can just utilize that, but I tend to set myself alarms on my phone anytime I utilize kitchen items just to make sure I remember to turn them off. Would just be a nice quality of life addition, nothing really horrible by not having one.Outside of that, I am so excited and happy to get to use this little burner. If you're looking for something at a good price point, and need a burner for anything, I would totally recommend grabbing this!

The product looks good. Handles are very useful. However it heated up very slowly. This product said 1500 w. I used the same pot and weighed the same amount of water, my rice cooker which was 700 w took three and half minutes, this hot plate took 5 minutes. I wonder if I received a defect one. I contacted the seller, no one got back to me. I wonder if I will return it since it is still in the one month window.

I was totally shocked at how well this heated & the level of control it had. Good weight that keeps it from moving around. Love the handles to move it around & it stored easily since it's not huge. I make my own candles for personal use & have had a few spill near misses on my new stove so I decided it was time to get one of these standalone burners. And it worked perfectly for melting/heating the candle wax, no problems with not getting hot enough or getting overly hot. I can definitely see myself using this for more than just candle making.

Gets hot realey fast, good for my needs. I LOVE ITThank you for such a good price for such a good product

Made from heavy duty metals and heating up very fast. Thanks.

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.

Its a premium quality hot plate. I wanna use it for 6 months and again write a review. I have used techwood before , 1500 w solo plate was actually really good. I wanna try this dual burner 1800 watt , so far heats really really good. It takes few minutes to heat as the metal plate is really thick and its a very nice alloy to prevent the entire device from overheating and shorting the fuse.Once hot , its just amazing.

The portable table-top stove meets and / or exceeds our expectations. It's aesthetically pleasing and seems to be features-rich. We're looking forward to cooking some delectable meals until our kitchen renovations are completed.
