OVENTE Countertop Infrared Single Burner, 1000W Electric Hot Plate w/ 7.5” Ceramic Glass Cooktop, 6 Level Temperature Setting & Easy to Clean Base, Compact Stove for Home Dorm Office, Silver BGI201S

I placed it on a silicone trivet. As my first test, I boiled one quart of water in a covered pan (see picture). It took nine minutes to reach boiling point set at Max. I added one cup of pasta and removed the cover while cooking so I could keep an eye on it. Pasta was perfectly cooked in the normal amount of time and the water remained at a steady boil throughout the cooking process. (Video attached). Burner surface was still at 368 degrees (see pictures) five minutes after it was turned off and unplugged and after 10 minutes it was still at 235 degrees. Obviously extreme caution is required around small children and curious pets to avoid serious contact burns. It's very lightweight and small enough to store pretty much anywhere. My first impression was positive. It performed as expected and better than I anticipated based on some of the reviews. I will update as time goes on if there are any issues to report. Update 4/26/24 - I have used this burner a few dozen times now since I bought it. I am especially pleased with its performance when making gravy. It maintains a steady simmer set on/or between power level 1 and 2. Regardless of what I'm cooking I don't notice any degradation in heat distribution after it reaches burner temperature and it cycles the burner to maintain the temperature without overheating. Foods still continue to cook exactly as they should without the need to fiddle with the heat knob. It maintains a steady simmer or boil as expected. Items brown nicely. Pasta cooks well. It has been very reliable so far. I love that I can place it on some butcher paper or old newspaper when I'm frying or sautéing and there is absolutely no mess to my countertops. Once it cools down it's so simple to clean with a damp cloth. I haven't used my induction stovetop in weeks. This little burner does such a great job and it has truly simplified my life because it's so portable I can cook on any surface. I just came back to purchase a second one for the times when I need two burners at once.

Bought this single burner for our boat for when we are hooked to power in marinas. I was a bit skeptical at first after reading some of the reviews, but decided to get it anyway as it was exactly what I was looking for. I was pleasantly surprised. It works great. Was able to boil water for pasta, also made scrambled eggs, we cooked steaks too when our on-board BBQ pooped out and cooked salmon steaks the next day. This burner worked beautifully. Hoping it will keep working well, it is small and compact, heats up fast, but stays hot for quite a while so I agree that you have to be super careful after cooking!

I previously used a portable stove that had an electric coil, but now decided to try this glass one. This review compares the two types. The upside of a glass stove is that it's very easy to clean. If you were cooking pasta and the water boiled over, you could just wipe the glass top with a damp sponge. However, the steel base below it gets stained easily and is more noticeable, so it depends on if that matters to you. The downside is that the glass top boils water more slowly than a coil. My old coil stove boiled a pot of water in 7 mins, while this one takes around 10 mins on max heat. (However, the coil on the coil stove deteriorates after 2 yrs of daily use. I imagine a glass stove will last much longer.) A frequent complaint is that the stove eventually pauses momentarily during cooking. When boiling a pot of water that takes 10 mins, it might stop at minute 9 and pause for 1 min. But I'm pretty sure all portable stoves do this as a safety measure to prevent overheating. (That’s why I think portable stoves are best for boiling or steaming, not pan frying.) Well here's a tip to overcome the pause. Heat a pot of water at medium-high heat. Then when it tries to take a pause, turn the dial to high and it will overcome the pause to continue heating to a boil. UPDATE: I’ve used it daily for 6 months now and it still works good for what it does. I previously said it takes 10 mins to boil, but I’ll revise that by saying it can boil in 8 mins on medium heat if there isn’t a lot of water. Yes, coil stoves are a bit faster, but they deteriorate after 2 years of daily use. This glass stove will last much longer than a coil for sure. This is a simple low cost stove that I don’t regret buying. Just don’t expect too much!

My stovetop stopped working (the oven is still fine.) This was a cheap way for me to keep on cookin'.

I purchased this burner on Dec 22, 2022. Yesterday on April 28, 2023, only 4 months later, I cooked my dinner, put the pan in the sink, turned off and unplugged the burner to cool while I ate my meal so I could clean it properly after eating. Half way through my meal I heard a loud crack coming from the kitchen. I went to check but found nothing wrong with anything in the kitchen so returned to finish my meal. After eating I returned to the kitchen to clean the burner. It was then that I found several cracks in the glass of the burner. This makes no sense to me why it would crack after it was half cooled off and nothing was on the burner, not even a spillover. Now have a useless burner that cannot be used as the glass is severely cracked and I don't want to chance any liquid spillovers running through the cracks. What really puzzles me is the burner never did get very hot and took forever to cook a simple piece of meat. I would not recommend purchasing this single silver Ovente burner. Shame too as it has always been easy to clean and such a good look to it even tho it takes twice as long to cook anything on it. Just needs better tempered glass top. I've had several other products from Ovente over the years and never had any issues with any of them. First time trying their burner.

Si necesitas una parrilla donde no haya gas o sea más complicado ponerlo, esta parrilla es superior a las comunes eléctricas de resistencia, calienta mejor alcaza inclusive a levantar la presion de una olla express, es más estable su temperatura, es mucho más fácil de limpiar pues su resistencia está bajo el 'vidrio' y la apariencia es de calidad. Ya tengo más o menos un año de uso frecuente con ella, que es más de lo que duran las más básicas. En resumen por poco dinero más un mucho mejor electrodoméstico. Vuelvo a comprar 10/10

Es muy silenciosa, se siente de buena calidad y el precio fue bastante bueno.

Me encanta la parrillita por pequeña, liviana y calienta super bien. Las primeras veces que la utilices va a oler un poco como a plástico quemado pero es algo normal en todos los aparatos con resistencia y se quita como al tercer uso. Viene con un librito que indica la temperatura según el número en el que lo pongas. Sólo ten cuidado de no limpiarla mientras siga caliente porque se mancha el plato de cerámica :/

Muy práctica para usos rápidos ligera fácil de limpiar , manejar y guardar muy recomendable

Me gusto mucho, en mi casa se usa para "emergencias" sin embargo las veces que hemos tenido que usarla calienta muy rapido y ocupa poco espacio.
