Proctor Silex 34101 - electric hot plate

While the coil gets heated up to really high temperature, which I wanted, it shuts off in 15 mins and then after every 10 mins, which is kind of irritating. It works really fine for frying and boiling though. I wanted a cheap burner for a few months...

I moved into a new apartment that has a gas stove. I needed a coil burner for my hookah coals and so I bought this. It works great for my purposes. I haven't had any problems with on/off cycling like others said, but I don't use it for that long.

I have no idea how this got more than 3-stars on Amazon unless people just have not used a good hotplate before. I bought this to replace the 10-year old hotplate I got at walmart for ten dollars that finally quit working after using it a couple times...

Works perfectly for lighting coals for my hookah.. But definitely randomly turns itself off and back on, presumably some sort of anti-overheating measure. I assume there are wires inside that are getting hotter than they should, and it's a fail safe. I...

I bought this to light up my Coco Naras for my hookah. It heats up fast, gets the job done, is cheap, and very light. However, sometimes it just stops working for 30 seconds to a minute, which is inconvenient if the coals aren't lit up enough. Still,...

I live in a small apartment and have been wanting something small to cook on for a while now. I had previously tried two other burners, one of them was a two-burner appliance. I recently bought this product at my local grocery store and paid $11 for...

Other reviewers complained that this thing wouldn't even boil water in a reasonable time but, no, I had to order one! I am using it in the bottom of my smoker along with an electronic temperature controller. I have a Kill-a-Watt electric meter hooked...

I bought 2 of these burners in order to cook on the deck so as not to heat up the house in the late afternoon and evening. My daughters love to come home and boil water for tea at this hour when the afternoon heat is the worst. These burners are not...
