MegaChef Electric Easily Portable Ultra Lightweight Dual Coil Burner Cooktop Buffet Range in Matte Black

LOVE LOVE LOVE this burner! we've had it for 4 years now & it finally broke down after using it almost daily the past few years of boiling water & cooking many many meals. It worked extremely well with heating up super quickly & not all big & bulky so it fit on the counter top nicely & easy to clean as well! We will be buying another one for sure!

Works well does the job perfectly!

Pro:1. It gets hot super fast! This is the strongest feature of this hotplate. I fry eggs on medium level. Otherwise, my eggs get burnt.2. very light to carry3. Nonetheless, stay stable even if I place a stock pot (3 ply stainless steel 5 qt pot) on one side of the coil plate.4. the black metal case is super easy to clean. food that gets dropped in this part do not get burned (however, if you spill food on the silver round plate under the coil, it is hard to clean. try not to fill the pot near to the rim.)cons1. kind of fragile. use it gently.don't do stir fry that may cause friction between the pot/pan and the plate. mine went on strong for 4 months only. after doing a lot of stir fry, it applied stress on some connection and it doesn't get hot as fast.2. two coil plates do not get the same power. left performs better than the right. if you turn on both, the performance is decreased slightly overall. however, i am able to boil water on both simultaneously, even though left sooner than the right.although my first plate slowed down in its performance due to "friction," i bought a second one thinking it will last a lot longer if I used it gently. I have used a lot of hot plates and I don't think I can find any other plate that can get hot really fast like this one.

I needed additional burners and this was exactly what I needed. It heats up fast and has even distribution of the heat as well. This works well with small and medium pans but a large one doesn’t cook evenly. Otherwise great item.

I like the ability to control the temp, matches my kitchen and very easy to keep clean.

Really good product

My package was lost randomly. I had to get a refund then a week later it showed up on my porch out of nowhere. The product is light and feels like it is made from cheap materials. To boil water you need to use a quart sized pan. It will boil nothing over that size. I've only used one burner at a time so I'm unsure if one burner gets hotter than the other. There's no way to remove the burner coils so you have to be extremely careful to not drop anything under them, because it's nearly impossible to clean out if you do. Product showed up 2 weeks late, but I got a full refund so I guess I cannot complain that much.

I could not wait to write this review for this hot plate. I was in need of one, so I came to amazon to search, and read a ton of reviews about a bunch of hot plates. My main concern after researching was that a hot plate was not really going to do the job for actual 'cooking' but more for 'warming things up'. So since the expensive ones were saying the same thing that I was assuming, I ordered this one because of the price, $17.00 for a double burner seemed crazy cheap. So I ordered it, and 2 days later it came, and I used it immediately, expecting a real let down. All I can say is I am shocked, in a good way. This hotplate gets as hot, and as fast, as my electric stove. I made an omelet super fast, I boiled water, cooked chicken, and many other things, just like on my stove. I'm not sure why there were a few reviews that said it wouldn't boil water, or that it took forever to heat up, I just don't get it. Was it plugged in and turned on?This heats up immediately, and boils water fast. What a steal.
