5.0 out of 5 stars does it's job well, even for arts and crafts, December 23, 2009

This hotplate is compact, affordable and a good value, and offers great control over heat. I bought it for its solid, flat plate, which is much easier to clean and much more stable than exposed-coil heating elements, which tend to rattle around in their drip pan. I bought this not for cooking purposes, but for arts and crafts -- I use it in my studio for steam-setting dyed wool in a canning pot, and also for heating wax and encaustic paints. The "warm" setting and exceptional control over temperature is especially helpful for heating wax and encaustic, which have very low melting- and flash points. While an electric griddle might be a better option for precise temperature control, this hotplate is generally pretty well-made for its price and has a good, multipurpose heating element.

I recommend this good burner. This stuff is small --doesn't take much space -- and easy to carry. By my experience, when I turn it "High" (4 degrees: Warm, Low, Medium, High), it takes less than 10 minutes to boil 1 liter water (the time spent may not be the same depending on several factors). I think it should be suitable for people who don't have a kitchen or want to travel with a portable electric burner.

I love my single burner, if I had the space I would have bought two. It heats up quick and evenly. Small and yet big enough to cook in a pot or frying pan. It's great that it has a "warm" option too.
Very satisfied.
