Overview
A 1500W portable electric hot plate with a 7.3 inch cooktop, adjustable temperature dial and a stay-cool riveted handle. Works with aluminum, copper, cast iron and non-magnetic stainless cookware.
One detailed review explains why this style of hot plate performs the way it does: like other coil-based burners it cycles on and off to avoid overheating, but the cast iron cooktop here holds heat through those off cycles better than thinner plates, which matters for wok-style high-heat cooking.
- 1500W power, 7.3 inch cooktop
- Adjustable temperature dial
- Stay-cool riveted handle
- Compatible with cast iron, aluminum, copper and non-magnetic stainless cookware
Who it's for
Useful as a backup or single burner for a dorm, RV, office or emergency cooking when the main stove is unavailable. Households with small children should note that the hot-surface warning is a static sticker rather than a light that comes on early.
Pros and cons
- 1500W is enough for daily cooking tasks from eggs to pasta per multiple owners
- Cast iron plate holds heat well through the on/off cycle, useful for wok-style searing
- Compact and light enough for dorms, RVs or camping
- Heat indicator light only turns on above the minimum setting, so the surface can already be hot before it lights up
- Power cord is short enough that one buyer needed an extension
Performance notes
The 1500W element under the cast iron plate cycles on and off to regulate temperature, the same way most coil-style hot plates work, but the plate itself retains heat through the off cycles better than thinner designs, according to a detailed owner comparison.
