A versatile, self-cleaning electric hot plate is perfect for cooking at a dorm kitchen, small apartment, travel trailer, boat or at a vacation property.

A portable appliance of this nature offers reliable heating wherever it is in need, either as a main cooking source or as a back up when cooking for large gatherings at holiday times or special events.

A double or single burner hot plate heats up quickly with a 750 - 1000-watt burner – single or 1500 - 1800-watt combined for a double (often one small and one large sized burner), comes with a chrome-plated drip-pan, and a heating element in cast-iron to ensure a even cooking experience throughout.

Electric hot plates with a twin-burner often offer independent control, with an option to adjust a thermostats level for each burners, with two separate dials.

A heating element in coil-style ensures consistent, quick cooking times, and perfect to accept all types of ceramic, metal, or glass flat-bottomed cookware, as well as tea kettles or woks. Full heat efficiency is achieved where a cookware pan makes fully contact with the heating element.

Common features to a portable electric hot plate includes a variable temperature control (high, medium, low, or warm), cool-touch base (safeguards against burning fingers or hands), chrome plated drip pan (for ease in cleaning), on – off indicator lights, and rubber or stay-cool feet.

The adjustable temperature setting is perfect to simmer a sauce or pot of soup, to maintaining a preferred serving temperature for a hot brew, to a thorough, even cooking experience of vegetables or meats.

An electric hotplate comes in an easy-to-clean, durable material, and often finished in stainless steel, or similar stylish housing. A lightweight, compact single hotplate measures in at 9.5 x 9 x 3-inches, while a more spacious, double hotplate measures in the region of 18.8 x 11.5 x 3.5-inches

A simple-to-use, electric hotplate heats up evenly and quickly, serves up perfect home-cooked meals, as well as being able to maintain the heat for a good long time.
