Farberware Royalty 1800 W Double Burner Black Electric Cooktop, 1 Each

It works very good. Instructions states that this should be using to boil water and not to braise, brown or fry foods. I have used this to brown meat and cook small meals. It does the exact same thing as my stovetop. I figured this would be a good appliance to teach my daughter to cook on. She has made simple meals like spaghetti, sloppy joes and breakfast. This little thing is amazing. It will also come in handy around the holidays when I need an extra burner to prepare all of the food.

I have a wall terminal that likes to trip at the slitghest hiccup. A few off brand appliances that I have gotten rid of have questionable power cotrols and have trip this wall terminal. As with all my Farberware kitchen appliances, I never have that problem. Thisbone is no exception. I immediately tried it out with both controls turned all the way up. Both heating elements heaylted up fast and equally. My only issue, which it's only a slight learning curve, I am used to cooking on a gas range, so my thin copper bottomed stainless steel 1970s wok style skillet has a little of a rounded bottom and doesn't sit flat. It helps that the pots or pans that you use on it have flat bottoms. The whole unit does get hot, but the materials are made well enough that the heat does not destroy the unit. This unit is a great extra to have when you need an extra couple burners in a pinch or if your main stove top goes out, or is great for dorm rooms or barracks.
