OVENTE Electric Cast Iron Single Burner, 1000W Hot Plate, Silver BGS101S | 7.25" Portable Countertop Cooktop, Stainless Steel, 5 Level Temperature Control, Compact Cooking Stove, Easy to Clean

It arrived on time & in perfect condition (March 3rd) but I just tested it yesterday to have time clearing out the chemical smell when first heating it up. It gets really hot pretty quickly & takes as while to cool off because it’s cast iron (it says 30 minutes in the manual & that’s exactly how long it took which is fine because I can do other things) so I recommend some good silicone heat resistant pads (I used those to keep the table safe). It’s a bit heavy which was surprising to me but it’s not too big & easy to store away. The cord is a bit short but I can get an extension cord & it’s not too easy to wipe off (maybe it’s the cloth I used) but it’s fine. Hopefully it’ll last long because I love the convenience with it being portable. Thank you!

works perfectly in my classroom for small cooking tasks--easy to clean, much better than the ones with rings

I'm giving it four stars because I just got it yesterday and I don't know about the longevity. I wanted a plate warmer that I could keep on the table next to my recliner. This one was less than half the price of an actual plate warmer. It happens to work very well as a plate warmer, just put it on a very low setting and it's great. I haven't tried to boil water with it, but it's only 1,000 Watts, and 1,250 watts is usually the limit for one 110 volt item in an AC outlet in the United states. So the complaints that it doesn't boil water very fast is not a surprise. It's not that powerful. It should be fine for doing most cooking that doesn't involve maximum heat. Haven't tried it yet, but it does do what I wanted to do. I wish it was thinner, it's height from top to bottom is probably triple or quadruple what a plate warmer pad would be but it's also $14. I also wish the power cord was longer, considering that it's only 1,000 Watts the cord could be longer.

This was a replacement to a burner. I opted for this cast iron version so I could more even heat. It works perfectly for cooking. The only two down sides are that it stays hot a long time after I've turned it off. But, that is the phonomenum of cast ìron. The other thing is that the burner top has circular grooves into the plate it of the burner, which makes it hard to clean. Over all, it's been a great burner.

I’m sorry, but I think the other reviews are far too generous — this thing is a joke. I bought it for one specific purpose: to boil acid during a gold extraction. I read the reviews and saw people mention the light, but nowhere in the directions does it explain that the unit will shut off before your liquid is even boiling or right as it starts to bubble. That leaves you stuck for days, literally. I already own an expensive scientific magnetic‑stir hot plate. I bought this because I needed a simple, steady‑heat hot plate for a different step in the process — something that didn’t need precision, just reliable heat. This does not deliver enough heat, and the automatic shutoff makes it completely useless for anything that requires sustained temperature. The shame is that I could have bought a double burner at Home Depot instead. I went to three different stores and none had a single burner, so I ordered this one on Amazon — and I totally got scammed. It’s out of the box, the packaging is gone, and I’m still going to try to return it. But I want to warn anyone who needs to boil anything: don’t buy this.

I ordered without reading through because I was expecting a coil surface, but this has a solid surface. Takes a while to heat up and stays very hot after use. I was hoping to ditch my electric skillet because of the non stick surface that I want to avoid, but because it takes so long to heat up and then cool off after cooking, it didn’t do as I had hoped. However, might be good for use as an extra burner for anyone who needs one but not as the main cooking appliance as I had hoped. Looks nice but needs devoted attention to use properly. I just don’t have time to fiddle around and wouldn’t leave my house until it cooled off, so ended up late for work. To be fair it does seem well made, but not workable for my living situation. I have returned it.

The electric countertop single burner (1000W) is a very practical little cooktop that comes in handy when you need extra cooking space, whether it’s for a small kitchen, dorm, office, or even outdoor use. The 7.25-inch cast iron hot plate heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly, making it suitable for boiling, simmering, frying, and warming food. For a single burner unit, the 1000W output is surprisingly efficient and handles everyday cooking tasks without issue. I also like the 5-level temperature control knob. It’s simple but effective—easy to adjust between low simmer and full heat without complicated settings. It’s especially useful when you want more control over delicate cooking like sauces or keeping food warm. The design is compact and lightweight, so it’s easy to move and store when not in use. The stainless-steel base looks clean and wipes down easily, which is a big plus after cooking. Spills and splatters don’t stick too badly, making cleanup quick. It’s not meant to replace a full stove, but as a backup burner or portable cooking solution, it performs very well. Great for apartments, travel setups, or holiday cooking when you need an extra burner. Pros: -Heats up quickly with even heat distribution -Simple 5-level temperature control -Compact and easy to store or transport -Durable cast iron hot plate -Easy-to-clean stainless-steel base -Great for small spaces or extra cooking capacity Cons: -Only one burner (obviously limited capacity) -No digital temperature display -Exterior can get hot during extended use Overall: A reliable, no-frills electric burner that does exactly what it should. If you need extra cooking space or a portable backup stove, this is a solid and affordable choice.

A TRUE LIFE SAVER! We bought this because we do not want to use the gas stove in our temporary rental. Some countries have even banned gas stoves, ovens, etc. because of the toxic emissions. Although it may take longer to boil water in this portable stove, it works very well AND without emitting harmful gases into our homes. Also doesn’t transmit radiation as many appliances do. Very, very please with this item. Even looks nice in the kitchen. Tip: Use a lid to speed up the heating time.

Es una estufa eléctrica muy práctica, de muy buena apariencia y que cumple su función perfectamente. Muy satisfecha con mi compra, y el precio que pagué por ella.

Conforme à la description. Performant et la plaque de cuisson en fonte n'est pas fragile.Parfait pour le camping

This Electric Countertop Burner works excellent for me , good product.

Ocupa poco espacio, se ve bien en la cocina y calienta muy bien

La parrilla es bonita y robusta para ser una eléctrica portátil. La use con una sartén de hierro fundío y no da el calor suficiente para este tipo de sartén, ciertamente no es una parrilla para cocinar de manera consistente pero si le reste una ⭐ por no dar la potencia suficiente con el hierro.
