To improve how metal coils transfer heat and prevent hot spots, some manufacturers encase metal coils in cast iron. The cast iron top creates a smooth surface so food cooks more evenly. The cast iron case also prevents food from falling between the coils and into the burner, allowing for easy cleanup with a few swipes with a damp cloth.
However, because of the cast iron covering, heat does take longer to reach food. Although metal coil burners are suitable for simple cooking tasks, serious cooks who want more precise temperature control and an even distribution of heat should consider an infrared or induction hot plate. Infrared hot plates usually cost about as much as models with cast iron burners. Instead of metal coils, they use halogen lamps or another infrared light source under a sleek, ceramic cooktop.
These lamps heat up the ceramic, which in turn heats the cookware. They heat food evenly and work faster than coil burners, which makes them more energy efficient. Induction hot plates, however, take that to the next level.
Induction hot plates generate a magnetic field that conducts heat directly to pans and pots, without heating the cooktop. This is also the case for coil and infrared hot plates.
Induction models heat up roughly twice as fast as others. For example, boiling water on a coil hot plate can take about eight minutes, but only four minutes with an induction model.
Note, however, that induction hot plates only work with magnetic cookware such as cast iron and some stainless steel.
Glass, copper, and aluminum pans and pots won't heat up at all, even if the hot plate is at its highest temperature setting. Most coil and infrared burners use between and 1, watts; induction hot plates use 1, watts. Higher wattage is great for fast boiling and deep frying, but not that necessary for cooking simple meals and reheating leftovers. Keep an eye out for double-burner hotplates advertised as having, say, 1, watts of power.
Their wattage is actually split between the two burners, which means each one actually provides only watts of heating power. Some only have three power settings: low, medium and high. Others have six or more numbered settings, just like on conventional stoves. More temperature settings means more control, reducing the risk of undercooking or burning. The most common safety feature among electric hot plates is an overheating protection, which shuts down the unit if temperatures get dangerously high.
Gas burners, on the other hand, often have an automatic shut-off system that will turn off the unit if it detects irregular gas flow or high pressure from the gas tank. With this double-burner hot plate by Techwood, you can cook everything from eggs to steak with ease, just as you would with a full-sized stovetop.
In fact, many reviewers say it's just as good as their main cooktop. The unit uses infrared lights over a scratch-resistant glass surface, which heats up quicker than coil burners and, most importantly, more evenly.
This helps prevent hot spots, or areas where pans and pots may heat up excessively. The overheating protection system turns the unit on and off to maintain the desired cooking temperature at all times. The burners are around 7. Each burner has its own temperature knob and delivers up to watts of heating power, more than enough for pan frying and boiling water.
