Overview
The Elite Gourmet ESB200B is a 1000 watt single coil hot plate with an adjustable temperature knob, a power indicator light, and a built-in drip pan, compatible with any type of cookware.
It is a single-burner backup rather than a full range replacement, aimed at dorms, small kitchens, or a spare burner during a remodel. Reviewer opinion splits sharply on durability: some report years of near-daily use without issue, while others found the cord getting hot and smelling faintly of burning plastic during the first uses, and at least one unit died after about six months of daily use.
- 1000W coil heating element
- Adjustable temperature control knob
- Built-in drip pan for spills
- Compatible with stainless, cast iron, and aluminum cookware
Who it's for
Fits someone who needs one extra, portable burner for boiling water, simmering, or char-grilling tortillas directly on the coil, and does not need it to double as a primary stove. Less suited to anyone wanting a burner to run unattended for long stretches or expecting years of trouble-free service from a budget single burner, since durability reports vary.
Pros and cons
- Works with any cookware type since it uses a coil element, not induction
- Adjustable knob covers both simmer and high-heat cooking
- Compact enough to store in a cabinet
- Cord can run hot and smell of burning plastic during initial uses, per at least one reviewer
- Longevity varies widely, with some units failing within 6 months
- Not recommended to leave unattended
Performance notes
The 1000 watt coil element takes a few minutes to reach boiling temperature depending on the volume of water and heats up faster than some readers expected for the price. The adjustable knob allows for both a slow simmer, which one reviewer held for about 10 minutes after switching the burner off, and higher heat for faster boiling. A drip pan underneath catches spills.
