Overview
A 1700 watt double infrared hot plate with a 7.75 inch and a 6.75 inch ceramic glass cooktop, five temperature settings on an adjustable knob, and an auto shutoff for overheating.
Infrared cooktops heat by radiant element rather than magnetic induction, which is why this works with any flat pan instead of requiring induction compatible cookware. That also means it cycles the element on and off to hold a set temperature rather than delivering constant heat, which one reviewer explains is normal for this type of unit rather than a defect.
- 1700 watt dual infrared element
- 7.75 inch and 6.75 inch ceramic glass cooktops
- 5 level adjustable temperature control
- Auto shutoff on overheat
Who it's for
Fits small kitchens, RVs, boats, and anyone needing extra burner space without cookware restrictions. Not a fit for someone expecting the steady output of an induction cooktop.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who replaced bulkier hotplates like the compact size and quick heat up. One detailed review clarifies that the on off cycling some buyers mistake for a flaw is standard for this type of element. A separate complaint thread describes dependability tapering off after the first couple of months of regular use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Works with any flat cookware, no induction specific pans needed
- Heats up quickly
- Compact and light enough for RVs or small kitchens
- Two burners hold different temperatures at once
Performance notes
The unit heats up fast and holds temperature by switching the element on and off within roughly a 5 to 10 degree range, which one reviewer explains is standard for radiant coil or infrared units without a capacitor. Owners used it for frying, boiling, and holding fondue pots at separate temperatures on the two burners.

Questions about the Ovente BGI102S
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Ovente BGI102S work with regular pots and pans?
Yes, unlike an induction cooktop it works with virtually any flat cookware, ideally sized close to the burner diameter.
Why does the Ovente BGI102S keep turning on and off?
That cycling is how radiant and infrared units without a capacitor maintain temperature, and it is expected behavior rather than a fault.
Can the Ovente BGI102S run two different temperatures at once?
Yes, reviewers used the two burners independently, for example keeping fondue broth and cheese at different heat levels.
