Double Burner Electric Hot Plate - Portable 1800W Countertop Stove

Our review of the CUSIMAX Double Burner sums it up: this compact 1800W countertop hot plate is best for people who need a reliable secondary cooktop in small kitchens, dorms, RVs, or offices. The single biggest reason to buy is its simple, no-frills dual cast iron plates that work with all types of cookware, letting you use stainless steel, glass, aluminum or cast iron without adapters. It is straightforward to use, easy to wipe clean, and offers independent controls so two dishes can be cooked at once.

Key Features

• Works with all cookware: The cast iron heating plates accept pans up to 7.4 in and 6.1 in, so most common pots and skillets transfer heat efficiently.
• Independent double burners: Two 900W plates each with their own control let you simmer on one side while boiling or frying on the other.
• Seven temperature settings: Thermostatic control across seven settings helps manage everything from warming sauces to frying and boiling.
• Portable design: The slim stainless steel body is compact enough for small apartments, RVs, or as a backup during kitchen work.
• Safety and easy cleaning: Overheat protection and non-slip feet increase safety, while the sealed cast iron plates wipe clean once cooled.
• Low noise and no radiation: Compared with induction-style units, this hot plate operates quietly and without electromagnetic cooking concerns.

Who It's For

This unit suits renters, students, and anyone who needs a convenient extra stovetop without changing existing cookware; it shines where counter space is limited and portability matters. It is also a practical second appliance for busy kitchens that need another burner for sauces or side dishes.

Those who should look elsewhere include cooks who require very fast, high-power boiling or precise induction-style temperature control; some users report that heating speed and boil time can be slower than a full kitchen range, so rely on this as a flexible supplement rather than a primary high-performance stove.

Pros & Cons

• Independent 900W burners provide flexible cooking of two items at once.

Cons

• Heat-up and boiling speed can be slower than a full stovetop for some users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my cast iron skillet?
Yes. The cast iron heating plates are designed to work with cast iron skillets as well as stainless steel, glass and aluminum cookware.

Are both burners controlled separately?
Yes. Each 900W burner has its own thermostat and seven settings so you can cook two different items simultaneously.

Is it noisy or does it emit radiation?
No. The unit operates quietly and does not use electromagnetic induction, so it does not produce the same radiation concerns as induction cookers.
