Elite Gourmet EDB-302BF Countertop Double Cast Iron Burner, 1500 Watts Electric Hot Plate, Temperature Controls, Power Indicator Lights, Easy to Clean, Black

It works great. As soon as it arrived. I used it to make eggs on one burner and boiled water for on the other burner. it takes a couple minutes to warm up but its Excellent. Recommendation use max heat to start then once desired temp is reached lover the heat to medium or low

i prefer cooking outside as there's less clean up and this such a cheap appliance that its paid for itself over the past couple years. easy to operate and provides enough heat.

Works good but it does take a while to heat up and it also cools down some while using it

I got two of these burners (2burners on each) after I tried the first one out and loved it. The reason I got it to begin with is that I have a very large glass cooktop made by GE which was very difficult to clean. And when our son left home and my husband took over his duties of cleaning countertops and the stove top after dinner, he hated it so much, I began to investigate what alternative methods I could use to cook a meal.I first tried cooking everything in the oven and burned myself badly twice! That’s when I investigated getting a burner that I could plug-in like this one. I love it! Yes, it takes longer to heat up to high but I just add time for that. I have never made better omelettes than using this burner and the reason is I can’t hurry along like I used to try on the stove top and then get it rubbery and overcooked! It cooks eggs absolutely perfectly.And everything else perfectly too. I even used it to boil pasta and it worked out great. I just had to give it extra time to come to a boil. So now I use two of these every evening and in addition, an incredible large electric pot for large meals that I want to simmer. For searing and browning food, I have another very large electric pan, as well, so the only time I’ve had to use my glass cooktop was for Thanksgiving when I was making too many items to use the burners. Cleaning that terrible cooktop twice a year for holidays is not too much for our family!So what you should know about these burners, is that they work perfectly, but you will need more time to get it hot to begin with. They are extremely easy to clean and there’s no place for anything to go underneath something that is unreachable. I overboiled some soup and thought that it would be a mess to clean up, but it wasn’t at all! I simply got a sponge and wiped it off. I can’t think of a single thing that I don’t like about these burners which are so incredibly reasonably priced. I hope if you get them that you enjoy them as much as I do!

AWESOME! This product is heavy duty, Really heavy duty and where the actual burners are the cast make it even better. I've used hot plates before but not like this. I know this is crazy to say but these are better than my stove by a long shot! The build quality, the product itself and when you cook with it trust me it's better than a stove. It's just so heavy duty and it's impossible to tip over or it's impossible to wobble around like regular hotplates. Having one that sticks out that far is a fire hazard but this one with it's low profile you would seriously have to make it wobble around because of how it's built I mean it's seriously that good.I am buying another one as these are amazing and the price!!!! It would be extremely hard to find something of this calibre! Trust me and buy one it will blow your mind!!!!!!! Easy to use, It's EXTREMELY well built, and the heat level it's wonderful as it cooks your food in a snap.

Required 4 minutes for larger cast iron plate on "MAX" to start boiling a cup of water cold water in a 6-inch sauté skillet, and 6-minutes to boil evenly across surface. Cast iron does not become red hot. Works great as a "Hotplate" but underpowered and too small for larger tasks. Perfect for my needs and a good value for price. dcg309

This is a great product. Since my stove decided to go out on me, this has been a terrific substitute while shopping for a new one. So far, I've cooked scrambled eggs and pasta. The only word of caution is that it takes quite a while to cool down after use. I

This hot plate worked well for us every day for 2 months during our recent kitchen remodel. It was routinely used to boil water for coffee and pasta, and heat pans for eggs. If possible, try to avoid using both sides at their max setting for too long, or with other power intensive items. We connected this to a power strip, and it tripped the strip on a few occasions when using with other small appliances.
