Hamilton Beach Brands 34101 Cooking Range, Single-Burner, Portable, 1000-Watt - Quantity 4 Hot Plates & Buffet Ranges



Hamilton Beach hotplate
I knew it was small but when I received it it was smaller than I thought. I have been using electric skillets etc. but decided that I wanted to use different size pans. The 1st thing I used it for was cheese omelettes. I preheated for just a short time and at a quarter heat setting and the eggs were done perfectly. Later I tried a 3 quart pot for boiling green beans. For this I Set it on high and the water was boiling injust a short time. It did take longer for the beans to get done than my microwave but seemed more thoroughly cooked. One of the troubles is with the heat settings it is hard to figure where to put it. I had to make frequent adjustments to keep it at that temperature I wanted. That is why the 4 stars. But for the money and a small table space it takes, it was well worth it. I have used it just about every day and so far it is working fine. Anybody that wants a small cooktop at a good price this is it.

I bought this to use as a heat source for cold smoking meats
I bought this to cold smoke meats in my smoker. I like the adjustable temperature guage and haven't had any issues so far.

Perfect for my purposes
I bought this to use for cooking in hotel rooms when I travel. It worked flawlessly, is light and small enough to fit inside my travel bag, and brought the food to a boil in a timely manner. I recommend.
