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. Several long-time owners describe it holding up over a year or more of daily use, though a couple of reviewers ran into one burner staying warm after being switched off, worth unplugging between uses rather than trusting the dial alone.
- 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.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners consistently praised the fast heat-up and RV or small-kitchen fit, with several saying it boiled water in under 10 minutes and held up over a year or more of regular use. The recurring complaints were uneven heat across the plate, one owner's burner staying warm after being switched off, and a reviewer who felt the auto shutoff cycled too often during longer cooks and never got a full boil.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 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. Reviewers who used it for boiling generally reported getting water hot within about 10 minutes, though heat distribution across the plate was described as slightly uneven by more than one owner.
