AROMA® 6" Single Burner Die-Cast Hot Plate, Black (AHP-303)

This hotplate is absolutely wonderful. I have only one complaint, and that is if you put a pot of water on to boil, the water never bubbles, so you dont hear it boiling even though it does boil, and it is easy to forget you even put it on the hotplate, until the water completely evaporates. Perhaps the hotplate should have some kind of alarm built into it, to occasionally remind you it is on. The ease of cooking and cleanup, and how quickly it cools down, makes this hot plate a dream to work with. I highly recommend it, but advise close supervision, and perhaps setting an alarm to remind one that it is on.

I ordered this for store pickup to do some hotel bathroom cooking for my family at a conference where breakfast costs $25 each. A test run got two cups of water boiling seven minutes after I turned it on. The unit was level and stable on the counter and the thermostat worked as it should.
