Easily make meals while you're camping, boating or in a college dorm room with this Nesco SB-01 1500W single electric ceramic burner, which can be used with most flat-bottom cookware, making it simple to simmer, boil, fry or sauté food.
I purchased this product to use as a burner to make small 1 gallon batches of beer, the hope was to make 3 gallons maximum in the future. At 1500W the burner should have been able to boil 1 gallon of water quickly...you'd think. However, the thermal switch (a nice safety feature that should be able to be adjusted or over-ridden) kept cutting out so the element took forever to get the liquid up to 170°F. If you want hot but not boiling, this is a sturdy burner for you. However, with the disappointing attribute of the thermal switch cutting off, this was a worthless purchase for me. The burner was well made, clean design and heavy duty. Suited for keeping soup warm.
