The Need of Every Home, Ultimate in Cooking ConvenienceA hot plate is extremely useful to have, whether you plan to use it as a short-term solution or a long-term fixture. A versatile solution for temporary use in place for your usual cooker, it provides relief from continuous microwave meals at times when your cooker has broken down or if you're having your kitchen renovated. Alternatively, it's a great feature for small kitchens that do not have room for a standard cooker/hob as this hot plate will stand sturdy on your counter top and enable you to cook meal after meal with ease and convenience. The whole unit itself is compact and so easy to store away when you're finished with it. Ideal for camping, holiday homes, parties, events, student accommodation or as an extra appliance in a busy kitchen and also great for caravans, camping trips, office, road trips, garden parties and all outdoor cooking in general. It's a great alternative to the traditional camp gas cooker as it's easier to clean and doesn't require gas.The Geepas Hot Plate features one solid cast iron ring for placing your pans and powers up to 1000W. It can accommodate pots and saucepans of most sizes. To ensure your food cooks evenly we advise to not use a pot with a base wider than the hob plate. The hob has a handy individual neon power indicator light so you will always be able to see if the hob is on or off. It's built to last, is durable, corrosion resistant, easy to clean and has an adjustable temperature control function which acts a safety measure. It has a thermostatic dial to switch on and control the hobs temperature. When the hob reaches the set temperature it will stop increasing the heat and maintain an even temperature for your cooking. Beneath the body of the hot plate are 4 sturdy rubber feet to ensure it stands stable and firm while you are using it.
