CUSIMAX Electric Hot Plate for Cooking Portable Single Burner 1500W Cast Iron hot plates Heat-up in Seconds Adjustable Temperature Control Stainless Steel Non-Slip Rubber Feet Upgraded Version B101

I bought this to use as an outdoor hotplate for our camper. I used it for side dishes and pleasantly found it to boil water rather quickly. It's easy to store, light weight and very handy so a perfect solution for us. It does take a while to cool down so just need to be careful storing until completely cooled. Would buy again.

This thing is great. I've been using daily when cooking for an extra burner away from the range. Heavy knobs that glide to the setting of choice. Quickly get hot and maintains temperature. Small enough form factor to tuck it out the way in a counter and affordable. I'm pleased with it.

I bought this due to my old range dying. I normally only use 1 burner, so this will get me by for the time. I unboxed it, turned it on max, and performed the burn-off they want us to do before the first use. I let it burn for about 4 minutes, then placed an 8" stainless clad pan on the burner. I poured in 16 ounces of water. I was surprised how fast the water boiled on the already hot surface. It got to a very energetic boil in about 3 minutes. I added another 16 ounces of cols water, it quickly came right back to boiling like mad. I turned it off. The water continued to boil for about 6 to 8 minutes longer. This style of burner element can be tricky to cook with as the heat doesn't end by turning the control off. Amazon was so fast delivering this, I was able to cook breakfast on it this morning after I ordered it around 7pm the night before. First, the bacon went in and it handily cooked it on low satisfactorily. I turned the burner off, and the bacon was still sizzling 5-6 minutes later. The big challenge here is if you try to cook rice on one of these. We are expected to boil rice for 1 minute, turn the burner to low, and cook covered for 25 minutes. This will still have water boiling in a covered pot 10 minutes later due to the heat retention. I had a range with these burners and rice was always difficult to cook on this style for this reason. Overall, I like this, and I have a rice cooker that plugs into the wall and nails it every time, so this hot plate that takes a long time to cool doesn't bother me. I believe that with quality cookware, this gets hot enough to do about anything.

This is the second one I've bought. I have it as a backup. We use the old one all the time. Have had one almost 1 1/2 years with no problems. It keeps me from have to use the stovetop on the range every time. You have to use it to get a good ideal what range to set when cooking different foods. Can get hot fast. No regrets so far. Just unplug after you cook something. Easy to forget it's still on. We really like it.

good work

I bought this 1500 watt hot plate as my 1000 watt unit was so slow heating my canner. Two days after the Amazon return window closed and the hot plate will not boil water after two hrs. The burner cycles on and off and while not an expensive unit it was still four times the cost of my small hot plate which is two years old, and which I had to use today to finish my canning. Save your money. .

I've had this hot plate for four months, and at first, I really loved it. It heated up quickly, worked well, and was easy to clean. I did notice that the knobs would get really hot, but I didn’t think much of it since the whole thing is metal. Today, when I pulled it out to cook, I saw that all four feet on the bottom had completely melted. Then, while using it (because I still needed to), the plastic holding the metal temperature control knob melted entirely, and the knob fell off. On top of that, the hot plate struggled to maintain a consistent temperature—it would just shoot up to the max and stay there. I’m really disappointed because I enjoyed using it for the first few months, but it just gets way too hot. EDIT: I’m updating my review by one star to acknowledge that they reached out and offered to refund my purchase due to what happened. It’s clear they value customer feedback, and that means a lot to me.

So many temperature options. Great design, sits firmly on counter. Don’t forget to get the mat for underneath to protect counter top. Clean lines, so cleaning is a charm, superb value for the money. Love the surface of the heating element. Very portable if deciding to move it around the kitchen area or outside to grill area or even to a camper,

I bought this for a vacation where I had zero access to a stove, and I ended up using it for literally everything. I’m a bit of a stickler for power, and this 1500W burner actually delivered. The real test was a Miami roast. I was skeptical about a portable plate holding a steady low temp for a long time, but I left this on setting #1 #2 for four straight hours. The roast came out perfect tender and not scorched. It’s got great thermal mass because of the cast iron, so it doesn't just "flicker" on and off; it holds the heat. I also used it for big pots of soup and boiling water for eggs. Even with a large stockpot, it managed to get a good rolling boil going. It’s heavy-duty, stable (doesn't slide around), and the stainless finish makes it easy to wipe down after a messy cook. If you’re traveling or renovating and need a "real" burner that won't die after an hour of use, this is it. Pros: Serious heat, Handles big water pots without a struggle. Steady low end, Perfect for 4 hour braises or roasts. Solid build, Doesn’t feel like a cheap plastic toy. Cons, The cast iron stays hot for a long time after you turn it off, so just watch your hands.

Mon rond de poèle est défectueux et je ne peux le remplacer car trop vieux, c'est une plaque Jen-Air ancien modèle avec une vis pour l'élément et la vis ne s'enlève pas, j'ai donc opté pour cet article en attendant de remplacer la plaque au complet. Ça fonctionne très bien, j'ai fais une grosse sauce à spaghetti et des beignes et tout fut un succès. Seul bémol, l'écriture sur les roulettes de fonctions sont un peu pâles mais c'est minime car c'est vraiment une belle plaque. L'écran d'affichage n'est pas large mais très bien situé.

Very happy with my purchase. Works well.

Our 32 year old oven stopped working then short circuited due to frayed, crumbled insulation on some wires. We ordered a new stove but it was going to take three days to arrive so we ordered this hotplate which arrived the next day to be able to do some simple cooking until the new stove arrived. This lovely little hotplate looks elegant and heated food efficiently albeit less forcefully than the old coil stove top. Then we got the new stove so this hotplate will come in handy to use at the table to keep food warm when we have burritos or fondu.

The elements heat up evenly thanks to their cast iron covers. The elements take some time to get up to temperature, boiling 2 litres of water takes awhile. Good temperature control at lower setting for Eg. eggs.
