Elite Gourmet ESB100B Countertop Single Coiled Burner Electric Hot Plate, Temperature Control, Indicator Light, Easy to Clean, Black

Like many people, I like drinking coffee. I like hot, and iced, coffee, but I prefer the hot version, especially when it's cold outside. I used to put my cup of coffee in the microwave, so that I could return it to that perfect sipping temperature, but that isn't very efficient. Taking the time to go to the closest microwave is less time spent doing whatever it was that you were doing. On top of that, microwaves require a lot of electricity, even if you're just using it briefly to raise the temperature of your coffee back to enjoyable levels, but what other options are there, you might ask. I started using candle warmers a long time ago. They keep coffee warm, and they don't use much electricity, but warm coffee isn't hot coffee. I stumbled upon this Elite Gourmet electric single burner, and had to try it. Will it keep my coffee hot? Will it still be more cost effective than continually reheating coffee in a microwave? Will it be safe enough to use anywhere, or I should say, anywhere with an electrical outlet, and a table, or desk, to put it on? For starters, it definitely keeps my cup of coffee hot. In fact, I only turned the dial up to 2, and my coffee was hot. So hot that I had to turn the dial down to between 1 and 2. For me, that's the sweet spot. With the temperature dial set at 1.5, or one and a half, if maintained my coffee at the perfect temperature, for me. As for the difference in power usage, I will have to return, and update this review in 1-3 months, so please return to this review later to check for that update. I can say that I get a lot more done due to not trekking back and forth to a microwave, and getting more done, whether it's work, hobby, or whatever, is always a good thing. Lastly, is it safe to use everywhere that makes sense? The short answer is......it depends. If you have enough space to place the burner so that it's not close to a wall, or things that can melt, or catch on fire, the answer is yes, but the surface it's setting on needs to be considered too. I used an infrared temperature gun to take intermittent temperature readings under, and around the burner, while keeping the burner setting at 2 for exactly one hour. I discovered that the hottest zone, other than the burner itself, was directly under the burner. So, whatever you're using this burner for, whether it's to keep your coffee hot, or for cooking food, you need to be careful, and make sure that you turn it off if you're going to leave it unattended. Anything that gets hot enough to cook food on, is hot enough to be potentially dangerous, if you're not being careful, and this device gets very hot, very quickly. Anyway, I really like this burner. It works excellent. It's very easy to operate, it's light enough to transport, providing you wait until it's cooled down first, and it doesn't take a lot of space to use on a counter, table, or desk. It's easy to clean, but make sure to unplug it first, especially if you're using a damp cloth, or sponge, and don't use a scratch pad, or any abrasive cleaning pad, especially metal ones, like SOS, or Brillo. Please read the instructions before using it. I even think the burner looks nice. If I had to nitpick, I would like it even better if it had a digital display showing the temperature. While I have a infrared temperature gun, to check the temperature of each of the 1-Max dial settings, it would be nicer to have a digital display, so that you could see the temperature without having to use a separate device. I will say that the temperatures for each dial setting are consistently the same, after multiple different readings. It's a great product, and I'm glad that I bought it. I'm considering purchasing another one, so that I don't have to transport this one to and from places. I'll update this review in a few months, to add how cost effective it is, compared to using a microwave. I hope this review helps.

This is a great purchase. I ordered this Saturday, May 16, 2026. It arrives Sunday morning, May 17 just in time for breakfast.I cooked scrambled eggs which it is a photo. This morning when I arrived home from work , May 19, 2026 6am This is my very first video of 15 years of being an Amazon Customer . I had to do a video on this elite gourmet product. I love this little baby right here for $16.99it a permanent-stable for my small kitchen countertop. I am a RN nightshift I’m only one person I live alone .I like to cook. I’m electronic lady I must have all the kitchen appliances just in case just like this if my stove absolutely stop working..Is easy to clean, just wipe it off with a soft cloth. I’m OCD so I keep my house neat and clean. the heat speed is excellent it I put it to three and it heats up so fast even at level 2 .. I tried it to the max level and boy it’s very hot so I keep it at three as you can see. I cook the boiled egg this morning when I came in from Work from doing a double shift at the hospital. Once I’m done, I unplugged it because I am a Condo owner , I don’t want any fires. 🔥 when you unplug it, it still is warm which is good and it takes. Maybe I’ll say about 15 minutes for it to cool off. but just be careful when you unplug. It’s still hot. I looked at was one for $52.? I was sure about until it , until it stated the OMEO only take certain POT AND PANS. I didn’t want that. I wanted one that takes all of my COOK POTS. When I looked at this elite gourmet ,My intuition and heart lead me to this one , $16.99 that’s it steal it’s compatible it may work better than to the ones I’ve seen on Amazon that’s 50-$100. I am happy with my choice.. I’m able to cook everything I want to cook my fish eggs rice spaghetti whatever I want to cook regularly I can cook it. I use one pot at a time and it is compatible to all pots. You don’t have to get the introduction one where you only could use certain pots . this work for all pots, which my pots are ceramic and stainless steel. Only if you ever have a dysfunction with your stove, please get this one right here. I’ll tell you you’re going to be pleased with it. if you have a small kitchen countertop like myself you can have one burner like I have or if your countertop is a little bit bigger, they have the double burner for $27.99. Please don’t hesitate to purchase this item. You will be satisfied.

As a professional chef with over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of cooking equipment—from industrial kitchens to simple home setups. But honestly, it wasn’t until I needed something practical to prepare meals for my cats, Camila and Camila, that I truly appreciated how useful a device like this can be. I spend time in Mexico, where I prefer not to rely on gas all the time—for both convenience and safety. This Elite Gourmet double burner has been a simple yet incredibly effective solution. I use it daily to boil chicken, cook vegetables, and heat water quickly for their meals. It heats up fast, and the temperature control is straightforward and reliable. One thing I really appreciate—as someone used to cleaning kitchens—is how easy it is to maintain. A quick wipe with a damp cloth and it’s good to go. It’s also compact, doesn’t take up much space, and is easy to move around when needed. It’s not a professional-grade stove, of course, but it does exactly what it promises. If you love cooking or care deeply about preparing food for your pets, or simply want a dependable alternative to gas, this is a great investment. And for the price, it honestly feels like a steal.

We got this for a small outside cooking area on the patio. It works well and looks good. It does not heat up quite as fast as our full-size electric range. I put a pint of water in our tea kettle, and time to boil was eight minutes, which is acceptable, and about what I expected that with the 1000W rating. Goes down to a low simmer quite well. Cleans up easily.

I was looking for a great countertop electric burner that I could use outside near the barbecue to cook the barbecue sauce or to make vegetables, etc. this is a great little cooktop burner. I find it very versatile and it works really well. Well worth the money. Good temperature control good quality heat up very nicely.

Works great as a backup cooktop, heats up fast and holds temperature well once it’s set. The two burners give enough flexibility to cook two things at once, which is handy in a small kitchen. Cast iron surface heats evenly and cleans up easily after use. Good size for a countertop, doesn’t take up much space. Would buy again. Great for small rooms

When we had a problem with our cooktop I bought this to get us by for several days. It works great and for the price it was perfect. Nice to have when you need a portable or an extra burner. Also, has good temperature control for heating, boiling, or frying.

I have a problem with the burner. It works just fine, but one of the legs fell off, and I can't find it. That makes the plate wobbly, of course, and the plate "threatens" to fall to the floor. I sent you a review and a picture 3 weeks ago, but got no response...not the response I expected from Amazon Shopping.
