Elite Cuisine Electric Double Buffet Burner with Cast-Iron Heating Plates

Bought this to sterilize my jars & lids for canning. Sometimes you can't get everything on 4 burners on a stove, especially with a lg. water bath canner & a lg. stock pot. You can also burn yourself trying to reach around the pots in front to get to the stuff in the back. I put an old cake pan on & put jars, lids, & rings in water. Using this 2 burner hot plate - the cake pan balances across the 2 burners, is stable, gets very hot without turning it up above medium. I was going to use it once in a while & keep jars on stove most of the time. However, this has proved so handy that I'm doing all of my jars on this hot plate. Keeps the stove for the canner & whatever pot I'm cooking in. If I'm making a large batch, I will still have to put lids & rings in a sauce pan on the stove (cake pan only holds about 11 pint jars with no lids). With this hot plate, I can put it on the left side (counter top), work on filling jars in front of me, and the stove with the large pans is on the right - way less risk of burning myself; more room to work overall. I really love this for canning. Wish I would have thought of it last year, or earlier this year!!! Because it does have a very low setting, I can also see using this for buffets & reunions where you need to keep stuff warm.

When you live in a mobile home ... space is always an issue. When you don't cook a lot and you just need a handy burner, this is the item for you. Besides, it is sturdy, reliable, and easy to clean. And the price was JUST RIGHT!

i use it to fry fish or bacon in the garage to avoid any smell in the house. Also easier to clean up than using normal stove.
