Review on CUKOR Portable Electric Single Coil Burner With Non-Slip Rubber Feet - 1100 Watt, Perfect For Outdoor Cooking And Kitchen Cooktop Use by John Hill

Whether you plan to use it for camping (if you have power), at the office, or in your apartment, you'll probably be surprised at just how effective this simple little hot plate can be - and all for a fantastic price!It heats us FAST and is ready to use in no time. Plug it in, turn it on, and it's ready to go quickly.It's SO compact, too. Yes, that means you're not going to be using it for a giant pot of pasta, but you won't find many hot plates designed for larger pots, anyway. This compactness means is stores easily, is transported easily, and you can find counter space for it easily. It's not even 1 foot by 1 foot, so it has a small footprint. Regardless, it's still large enough for most normal-sized cookware.Controls are simple and easy, all very self-explanatory.If you can use cookware on a stovetop, you can use it on this hot plate. Pots, pans, kettles, etc., whether they are metal, glass, ceramic, etc.This is an electric cookplate, so no flame to worry about (though you DO still have to be safe while using it, because the surface gets very hot and can still cause burns or fires if handled irresponsibly).Cleaning is a breeze, too. The coil lifts right out so you can get underneath. You'll rarely NEED to clean it, and when you do, a rinse should usually suffice.Got to say, I'm impressed that something so small and that only costs 20 clams could be so effective. This thing is great! Huge thumbs up!
