Our verdict

A one-burner portable hot plate with seven thermostat steps, useful as a second burner or for dorm and camp cooking. It only fits small cookware, so large pans will not sit right.

Overview

CUSIMAX uses a cast iron heating plate in a stainless steel case, powered through a knob that sets one of seven heat levels. Rubber feet stop it sliding, and the body is meant for use on a heat-resistant surface.

It heats cookware quickly and is small enough for a dorm, office or RV counter. The limitation is the plate size and the heat that builds in the case, so it needs a safe surface and should not be moved while hot.

Who it's for

Students and travelers with limited kitchen setups use it to boil water and simmer soup. A household cook needs a full-size range burner.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Quick heat-up from the cast iron plate
  • Seven settings for different dishes
  • Non-slip feet add stability
  • Works with glass and aluminum cookware
Cons
  • Plate limits cookware to small sizes
  • Body gets hot in use
  • Single burner only

Performance notes

The cast iron plate heats the cookware by direct contact, so flat-bottomed pans transfer heat most evenly. Thermostatic control cycles the element to hold each setting, and heat also radiates into the housing.
