Overview
A 1500-watt double infrared hot plate with two 7.5 inch ceramic glass burners (750W each), a 6-level temperature dial and a stainless steel body built for small kitchens, RVs and dorms.
Infrared burners heat the glass surface directly rather than relying on a magnetic field, so unlike an induction cooktop this one works with any flat-bottomed pan, cast iron included.
- 1500W total, 750W per burner
- 7.5 inch crystallite ceramic glass tops
- 6-level dial temperature control
- 1-year manufacturer warranty
Who it's for
Renters, RV owners and anyone needing a second or backup burner who wants standard cookware compatibility rather than the pan restrictions of induction. Less suited to anyone who needs to bring a large pot to a rolling boil quickly.
Pros and cons
- Works with any flat-bottomed cookware, no induction limits
- Compact and light at 5.1 lbs
- Stainless steel body wipes clean quickly
- Two independent burners with separate dials
- Heats up slower than a full-size range
- Auto shutoff cycles heat during longer cooks for some users
- One burner reported staying warm after shutoff over time
Performance notes
Each plate runs up to 750 watts and the dial steps through 6 temperature levels, with a red indicator light while heating and an automatic cutoff on overheat or at the target temperature.
