Handy little hot plate
Since tungsten filament bulbs were taken off the market, I needed something to warm my oven for food drying and proofing bread (yep, those bulbs put out that much heat), and this fills the bill nicely.
The thermostat in this unit is pretty sensitive so it does well maintaining the lower temperature I need. I have not had the control above "low," so I do not know how fast it boils water or cooks.
The feet on it do not grip well, so care must be take to ensure the work surface is level or something holds the unit stable.
For me, the main drawback on it is the element is not removable (unless I missed something in the instructions) so cleaning under the element is not easy. But that is not a big deal.
That said, it is a handy hot plate; I would get another if needed.
