The burner plates heat up much quicker than I thought they would. The burner plates react the same way any electric burner does, once heated, they take forever to come down to a lower cooking temperature for a particular food — especially in heavy cookware. I am very glad I got this!
To keep foods warm: Starting from a cold burner — the temperature dial ‘clicks’ and lights up at setting #1. I find that setting acceptable. The plate will warm up even w/ the temp set below #1, the light will not be on, but the plate could be hot. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes from a cold start to warm a plate. If you want to keep foods warm on the same burner you used to cook the food: take the pan off the burner, turn the temp down to 1 or 2 depending upon how warm you want it, and let the burner cool down until the light comes on – a pan w/ ice cubes helps the cool-down. (On the unit I have, setting #3 cooks food at a very healthy simmer. And #2 is pretty hot too – so close to #1 works best on the one I have.)
When boiling water is required, as in steaming veggies or poaching eggs, I start it at setting 7, and turn it down to 3/4/5 once a simmer or boil has been reached. Quick steaming veggies, such as asparagus, need to be turned down much faster, unlike steaming or boiling spuds still cold from refrigeration. I left pasta to slow boil at 5/6-ish til done without turning it down much. Setting 7 will get you a very hot rolling boil for pasta if that’s your preference. A turn down to setting 3 is good for a simmer once all the food has heated through.
For omelets and saute, it worked best when the pan was heated to the desired temp, starting on a lower setting before adding any grease or foods — this type of cooking was the hardest to get right. Setting 3/4. I dislike browned omelets. Caramelized onions, done right, take a while.
Browning and quick stir fry — I heat up to setting 6 or 7 before adding grease & food. Setting 7 will burn food, so frying until done on this setting was iffy. I do a lot of browning for dishes that need to be simmered in sauce/wine/stock w/ veggies. So, reducing the temp after turning all the pieces to brown the other side worked best for me (I browned a bit of onion too, at the same time :). Stir fry — it’s quick!
I do not use a setting 7 to fully cook food – it’s my heat up the pan and bring to a boil temp – to cook I turn it down to where I want it and adjust the temp as needed. At 7 the temp dials get a tad hot but I don’t need a hot pad to adjust temp, however, the top of the housing gets hot and could burn. Above a 7 both the dial and the metal housing gets very hot, and you’d need a hot pad to turn the dial.
I use very heavy bottomed cookware that heats up slower than lighter cookeware — but being heavy, they retain heat longer. All electric stoves/cooktops are different, and this two-burner hot plate is no exception. It took me a month to find the right measures of heat for my cooking needs.

1. It is a good burner , looks good . it is fast/effective/easy to clean .
2. But the worse part is the knob and the surface of bunner overheat when cooking, it can hurt pople’s hand easily. Don’t keep touching it over 1 second, it burns your hand. it is not safity.

Works great for what I needed… I have an efficiency and there is no stove… I picked this up at a great price and now I can cook pretty much everything I want to… it does take a while to heat up, but once it gets going it does a perfect job on boiling pasta, heating sauce and gravys, cooking steak or chicken, even stir fry and eggs… I love mine! It does get very hot and takes a while to cool to the touch so be cautious when handling after use… also cleans easy!

Only have used a handful of times but works really well. Boils water just fine, would have helpful to have identifiers on the knobs to know when itās on/off as it blends in but very happy so far with this purchase!

I needed a hot plate occasionally as an extra heating surface for meals. I chose this one because of the wattage (1500).
Everything works as expected, though the numbers on the knobs are little hard to read in bright light though, at least they are if you have a bit of issue with close up reading.
The heating element does heat up, though it takes a little longer to boil water than on my induction stove top. This is not a flaw, and is to be expected from an item that is being used as an “extra heating surface”.
Overall, this is a good hot plate, not heavy at all and easy to pick up and move so it will also work well for travel.
Easy to clean, too.

I first came across this portable stove when I stayed at an Airbnb. It worked great and I thought it was super convenient and handy. So, I bought one and have been taking it with me when I travel in-state and need to be able to cook for myself. It boils water perfectly fine and Iāve cooked chili with no problems. Love it!

This is possibly the most useful kitchen appliance i own.
It uses induction heating (not all pot materials will work) so it is safer than fire or heating coils.
The controls are simple to use and the whole thing is easy to clean with a damp cloth or mild disinfectant cleaner.
There is a built in exhaust fan underneath that blows out the back (away from the controls).Keep that in mind if you are thinking about a spot to put it in your home/apartment/cabin/van or whatever living arrangement you may plan on using it.
The usefulness of this is far greater than the cost associated with it.
I highly recommend this to anyone who may need an extra burner or currently have none and may be looking to save having to do a big install/rennovation.
TLDR: Great as an additional cooking surface or as a primary/sole burner. Must be induction compatible pots.

I live in an RV and hate using the gas stove. But tonight I cooked a tritip roast in my toaster oven AND made gravy on this wee cooktop. It was so easy. Just plug in and go. It boiled quickly and the lower temperatures worked well for letting the gravy cook gently and long. Super easy to use. Love this.
