Elite Gourmet EDB-302BF Countertop Double Cast Iron Burner, 1500 Watts Electric Hot Plate, Temperature Controls, Power Indicator Lights, Easy to Clean, Black

I got two of these burners (2burners on each) after I tried the first one out and loved it. The reason I got it to begin with is that I have a very large glass cooktop made by GE which was very difficult to clean. And when our son left home and my husband took over his duties of cleaning countertops and the stove top after dinner, he hated it so much, I began to investigate what alternative methods I could use to cook a meal. I first tried cooking everything in the oven and burned myself badly twice! That’s when I investigated getting a burner that I could plug-in like this one. I love it! Yes, it takes longer to heat up to high but I just add time for that. I have never made better omelettes than using this burner and the reason is I can’t hurry along like I used to try on the stove top and then get it rubbery and overcooked! It cooks eggs absolutely perfectly. And everything else perfectly too. I even used it to boil pasta and it worked out great. I just had to give it extra time to come to a boil. So now I use two of these every evening and in addition, an incredible large electric pot for large meals that I want to simmer. For searing and browning food, I have another very large electric pan, as well, so the only time I’ve had to use my glass cooktop was for Thanksgiving when I was making too many items to use the burners. Cleaning that terrible cooktop twice a year for holidays is not too much for our family! So what you should know about these burners, is that they work perfectly, but you will need more time to get it hot to begin with. They are extremely easy to clean and there’s no place for anything to go underneath something that is unreachable. I overboiled some soup and thought that it would be a mess to clean up, but it wasn’t at all! I simply got a sponge and wiped it off. I can’t think of a single thing that I don’t like about these burners which are so incredibly reasonably priced. I hope if you get them that you enjoy them as much as I do!

Perfect size and works perfectly

Don't expect a large electric burner( check dimensions) but product worked fine! Boiled water on big burner pretty fast using medium sized pot and small skillet fit on smaller burner for heating whatever. For the price, a good product to have for big parties to keep things warm or hot or just to use for two people cooking.

I bought this plug-in double cast iron burner for our recent camping trip, and it turned out to be one of the best gear choices we made. If you're at a campsite with access to electricity, this burner gives you the convenience of home cooking without needing propane or open flames. The cast iron plates heat evenly and retain heat well, making it easy to boil water, fry eggs, or simmer soups. Each burner has its own control knob, so you can cook two things at once without worrying about burning one. It's perfect for making breakfast in the morning or a warm dinner after a day of hiking. What I love most is the simplicity — just plug it in, turn the dials, and you're good to go. No matches, no fuel tanks, no fuss. It’s compact enough to fit on a small camping table but sturdy enough to handle heavy pots or cast iron pans. Pros: Easy plug-in operation (great for powered campsites or RVs) Dual burners with independent controls Solid cast iron plates retain heat well Compact, portable, and easy to clean Safer than open flame setups Cons: Requires a powered site — not for off-grid camping Takes a few minutes to fully heat up No built-in wind protection (though usually not needed with electric) Bottom line: If you’re camping somewhere with electrical access and want an easy, reliable cooking setup, this plug-in double burner is a solid choice. It made camp cooking a breeze and cleaned up easily after each use.

I have been using this burner outside for over a year to make dog food. It is not stored under a cover, its been rained on, blasted by California heat, hit by a sprinkler and dropped on one side . This thing just keeps going still heats perfectly. I have added pictures to prove its condition. The little burner has by far exceeded any expectation I had for it. Exceptional product and I have surely put it to the test!

Set up fine. Hope it works for the month I need it to. Want to know why the English and Spanish versions conflict. The Spanish says don't use it to cook, reheat food or cook frozen food and not to use it for more than 2 hours at a time. Hoping this is just stupidity on the vendor's part and that the "funcion" means only the Max setting, but that isn't clear in the Spanish either. It should be right after the sentence ends with MAX instead of being offset if that's the case. This might be why it breaks all the time for the English speakers, the manufacturer has conveniently left off the English warning? I need it to cook and to use as the "buffet burner" that the box says, to keep a pot of water going all day for humidity. Will update review if it breaks. Update: the instruction manual also says the lights go on when the burner is on, but what it means is that the light cycles on and off when the burner cycles on and off. The "Max" cycle is the only one where the light stays on all the time, but the burners DO maintain the constant temperature that you want, and I was able to have it between 1 and 2 for at least 8 hours a day for 4 weeks while staying in a VRBO with a broken stove. Totally worth the cost and very grateful, would recommend.

We bought to use hoping it would heat up faster and hotter than are old propane stove. Takes 10 mins to boil a quart of water. If you are buying this you need thin pots. I feel it is safer than the old stove but you have to be patient. Only good for a single or couple. Hard to use both burners at once unless you have small pots.

Works really well and gets hot super easily . If you have a small space this is perfect for you . It’s also easy to clean and store after use

The item arrived damaged, with a huge dent in the side. The packaging was awful as if we received a refurbished item, and not new. The item feels of extremely low quality, I wouldn't trust cooking on this with a high heat as the entire cooker became extremely hot. I have requested a refund two weeks ago, it's still pending. Next I will call Amazon customer service. Update: It's been two weeks and no refund - I just called Amazon and requested assistance. I could not understand the Amazon person's English - I had to ask a office colleague for help. Amazon told me to wait longer although it clearly states a refund would be initiated 3-5 days after returned. I am continuing to try and get a refund, five times I called amazon customer requesting assistance, each time the assistant politely asked to place me on hold and then disconnected the call.

nice and compact work really good

It’s not a scientific study, but I put 2 cups of cold tap water in the little pot with a lid and turned the smaller burner to Max. It started heating up within a couple of minutes. Full boil at over 200 degrees F by the 10 minute mark as shown on the video. I think it will be fine for coffee, drinks and boiling eggs or soup. I didn’t put both burners to use at the same time except to follow the instructions to put them on at Level 1 for 15 minutes to burn off the initial smell. The smell wasn’t too bad. The whole unit does get very hot so be careful ( not safe around young children). The burners have fine grooves so are harder to clean and you need to wait a while for them to cool down before you can wipe them down. Still, for a camping stove (at an electrical site) or maybe a dorm room, it works fine for the low price. Looking forward to use it for our winter camping trip in February!

The worst product. The product has stopped working completely and I have no way to get in touch with anyone to help me. Very bad product and service!

This thing works great for the price. Sure it takes longer to heat then a fill sized stove/oven range but it runs on 110 volt vs 220 volt so that is to be expected. Yes, some of the reviews say there isn't a tonne of room but all the information is there, and there are always options to pay more for larger ones. This works perfect and fast enough for my morning eggs.
