CUKOR Double Cast Iron 2 Burner, 1800W Countertop Burner, Dual Electric Stove Burners, Portable Double Burner for Cooking

MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENT: the large burner just died! I contacted customer service because it is under warranty. Waiting for their response. UPDATE: I feel the same about this product a year later, as I did when I originally posted the review. One magic thing about it I didn't mention - the ease of cleaning! Unbelievably, whatever is spilled or splattered on it is cleaned EXACTLY as the manufacturer says - with a soft cloth! At first I didn't believe it, but yes, that all it takes - wipe off with a soft cloth and it's spotless! Whoa, what a surprise, a pleasant one for sure! This little thing brings water to boil in no time at all. Even with both burners on, food gets cooked quickly. The best part? Once the burners are heated fully and food cooks, you can turn it down to 2 (out of 6 levels) and it continues to cook perfectly. Works wonders with cast iron dishes. Both the burners and cast iron dishes retain heat and keeping on very low allows cooking to continue without spending too much energy! Steaks done perfectly: crispy on the outside and nicely rare inside, veggies stir-fried in no time ... I love it! Now, this has been just a few days, but used at least twice a day, let's hope it performs the same wonderful way in the long run. Another plus: kudos to the manufacturer: when registering the product you receive additional 6 months of warranty, extending it from 12 months to 18 months - nice move Cukor. Thank you.

When our kitchen was being renovated, I bought the Cukor hot plate with two burners. It has worked perfectly. It gets hot quickly and stays hot, so the food gets cooked properly. It is as easy to use as anything can be. Just turn the knob under the burner you want to use to high, and you are cooking in no time. It got the water boiling in my 8 quart pot about as quickly as my gas range did. The only issue is that the temperature is either high or off. Turning down the knob just turns the heat off. But that wasn't a problem for us. We just adjusted our cooking time and strategy. The hotplate is easy to clean, and after 3 months of heavy use, it still looks new, and it works just fine.

This will be a quick review of the good, and an in-depth of the not-good. It does what it says it does. It's a great stovetop cooker, and definitely overkill for my purposes but I am completely satisfied for every use case I have for it. It heats up fast (faster than my actual stove), holds a good temperature, and generally keeps the temperature pretty consistent. Being that it has a glass surface, it is easy to clean, even when I accidentally dragged some polyester across the top that melted to it - a razor blade and some glass cleaner and it's good as new. The downside is a very specific scenario. I use this explicitly for making coffee, where temperature settings can be very sensitive, and I've found one specific use case that causes problems - where I brew a cup, have turned the stove off, then decide to make a new cup. If you are using this in a way that you're going to reheat something - that is initially it's on a set temperature, then you turn it off, then you decide to turn it back on, the temperature control goes out of whack. I'm benchmarking mine at somewhere around 99ºC, where it's just starting to simmer. I've also drawn on mine, so I make sure I use the exact same setting every time. If I heat it up from cold, for it will work flawlessly with my marked setting. However, if I do the "I've changed my mind" scenario, it will be anywhere between 1 and 3 plastic ridges on the knob above that marked line - the temperature control has to be turned up in order to achieve the exact same temperature. If just left on without turning it off first, it holds the temperature correctly. If left on for a long time, it holds the temperature correctly. My best guess is that in order to make a cost effective design, there are some shortcuts taken, and the scenario of On-Off-don't let it completely cool-On is one of those scenarios. To avoid this problem, let it cool at least enough that you can comfortably touch the heating surface with your hand, then set it to your desired heat. If avoiding that one specific scenario, this is a great stovetop cooker, even when requiring some pretty fine heat control.

This product worked well. Prepared a lot meals. After malfunction occurred, spoke with Cukor support and the support is amazing. Received a new replacement within a few days. Great quality and investment. Highly recommended.

I have been waitung for a hot plate like this for a LONG time and have researched, I think, every single one on Amazon! 🤪🤪 This little guy, and when I say little, I mean you can take it in your suitcase and go across the country to a hotel and are able to cook food in a partial kitchen or just NO kitchen and prepare wonderful meals in lieu of having to go out to dinner every night! It is so convenient, practical and a lifesaver when traveling. From other reviews I understand that it also is wonderful in your kitchen as a second stove top which we have not used it for, bc we primarily purchased it to travel, but I see possibly utilizing it at the holidays when we just don’t have enough stove tops. It’s easy to work, it’s easy to clean and as far as I’m concerned extremely affordable for a five star product like this! I 💯% recommend this to anyone! The uses are infinite! It just makes life easier! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SN: their customer service rocks… I just had a couple of questions and they were immediate in their response! This little guy is a keeper!

Product quit working and can't get any support...less than 4 months old. Be careful what you buy from Amazon as support is horrible

Our old gas hob developed a problem and we didn’t want to rush into buying a new one, so purchased this as a stop gap until we decided. This hob is brilliant! It heats up great, the temperature controls are pretty good for electric and it did us well for the couple of months it took us to decide on our gas hob replacement. For the price, it’s great. Easy to clean. Perfectly sized, almost a half size to most normal 4 burner hobs, so easily takes the usual size saucepans. This product will also drop into a cut out in a worktop too. So we are now considering whether or not to have it installed in our kitchen island as an addition to our gas hob. Overall, very pleased with it and highly recommend it.

La tuve en mi momento que aún no instalaba mi cocina a lo largo de 6 meses fue me salvadora, sus placas dan lA resistencia de calor suficiente para cocinar un rico estofado. Lo único malo es que para regular el nivel bajo, medio y fuerte si es complejo. Pero muy recomendable.

No cuento con una estufa normal. Pero sin duda se puede cocinar muy bien, la temperatura del calor no se puede medir como uno quisiera, pero no hay necesidad. Llevo 2 meses con ella y no tengo ningún problema ni del aparato, ni digestivo xD Excelente producto 👍

funciona muy bien temperatura con calor bastante para calentar y preparar algún platillo o guiso

We have no kitchen as the new kitchen is being built. So we bough this as the temporary cooker. It's great and powerful enough for cooking like a gas hob. It has been a week and so far no issues.
