Overview
Ovente builds this single burner around a sealed heating element under a cast iron plate. A stainless steel base holds the unit, a knob selects among temperature levels, and a user manual comes in the box.
Cleanup is simple because a damp cloth wipes the surface, and the description says it works with all types of cookware. It makes sense as an extra burner for holidays and small spaces. The cooking surface is small and the listing gives no temperature range in degrees.
Who it's for
Dorm residents, RV owners and holiday hosts with a crowded stove get the most from it. Cooks who plan to take it outside should note that the listing recommends indoor use only.
Pros and cons
- Cast iron plate wipes clean
- Stainless steel base
- Knob control with five levels
- Works with all cookware per the description
- Single burner only
- Temperature range in degrees not listed
- Indoor use only
Performance notes
A sealed element under the cast iron plate heats the plate, and the pan takes heat by contact. Cast iron holds heat through a cycle, so response to a lower setting is slower than a coil. The knob sets the target, and the plate then cycles to hold it.
