Techwood 1800W Stainless Steel Dual Hot Plate with Stay Cool Handles, Stainless Steel Hot Plate for Kitchen, Dorm, and Camping(Silver)

Exactly what I needed! I liked the way it looked! Worked great.

I had a smooth top stove where the top cracked and since I'm moving soon and replacing all the appliances when I put the home for sale, opted for this as a temporary solution. I like the metal burners versus glass since I just had a smooth top crack. The unit heats up and boils water pretty fast, maybe faster then my stove used to! I also like the handles which is why I bought this instead of a cheaper unit. My only negative is there is not power switch so I caught myself leaving it on because when it reaches temperature the light goes off, but its actually still on. This could potentially be a safety issue if left on all night, I would think. You have to unplug it from the wall to be sure to turn it off or remember to turn it all the way down. I have a griddle that has a red led/green led light and no light when it is off, with this unit the light doesn't change color it just turns off when its at temperature meaning it could still be on. 4 stars. I didn't see anyone else comment on that but I think either a changing color light when its on or a power switch is a feature worth having.

This unit really works! And, Yes!! It gets hot! The entire unit gets hot!! The handles remain “touchable” BUT DO NOT MOVE THIS UNIT UNTIL IT’S COMPLETELY COOLED!!! And it takes a long while to completely cool down. I didn’t have any trouble heating a medium large pot to a roiling boil, just know it’ll take longer than a conventional range top to reach boiling. It’s a “hot plate,” not a two burner conventional range top. I found the temperature settings easy to navigate.It stores easily on any shelf. Light weight but not cheaply flimsy. A great addition to any kitchen, whether indoors or out. I’m using it in a small kitchenette studio apartment. Product description is accurate.

Great (peace of mind) backup after "a scare" with my aging oven. When preparing a meal; the last thing I have extra time for is not having the cooking function of a range top oven.

Good little hot plate. Heats up quickly. Make my meals on it everyday. It does take quite sometime to cool down completely, so do not touch burner or set anything on it for at least 10 minutes after you turn it off. I have had no issues with it and would recommend. Easy to clean.Quite and seemingly well built.
