   Quick snapshot:++ Durable and long-lasting++ Very portable+ Easy cleaning– Slow to boil more than 24oz of water :(- Once it has been on you should not move it without oven mitts on as the sides get too warm to handle+/- Initial heatup process produces an odour – you may want to do this outside somewhere a child or animal can’t accidentally touch itIn-depth review:Bought it pre-pandemic when our home was being demolished and replaced with a prefab, the whole family was living in a garage together for the few weeks it took. This thing was used every single day for about an hour and it performed excellently. Then, once the virus hit but before we had access to the now widely available rapid tests, I wanted to sequester myself to try to protect my family after I was exposed. I used this hotplate inside the guest bedroom so I did not need to leave the room or ask others to cook for me. (photo attached of the isolation set up)I’ve had the hotplate for a total of 3 years now and it has never had an issue. After the break-in heating the manual tells you to do, I never had it smoke without cause or get too hot in inappropriate areas (like the heat control knob) that others experienced. Definitely set it where you want it for the whole cook time – once it has been running for more than 5 mins on high I would recommend never attempting to move it without oven mitts on because the sides become too hot to comfortably touch. With how thin and compact this is I’m not surprised and don’t consider this unreasonable but it may matter to someone else. It has never damaged any surface it has been set on so although I can’t handle it barehanded it is not so hot as to harm plastics or wood. As other reviewers noted, it can be extremely slow to boil larger pots of water – to me this is the number one downside. For pasta with around 24oz of water it would boil around 7-12 minutes, but if you needed a higher water level, say closer to a half gallon’s worth, it would be 25-30 minutes before the pot boiled.A final note for those who do decide to buy this – when you first purchase it I highly recommend doing the initial warm-up run outside (though somewhere a child or pet would not touch it!) or in a well-ventilated garage; I’m not sure if I recall correctly, it may have been to get an anti-rust shipping coating of oil off the cast iron surface? The instruction manual was quite clear, it’s just been three years since I did it. Boy did it have an odour during that first run, but never again after that.

   squag – September 23, 2022

   I have a Presto 23 qt pressure canner and a glass top stove, so i purchased this to can with. In short this thing needs as much help as it can get in reaching temperature. The first time I used it I gave up and switched to my stove…but dang the canner is heavy and although the stove survived I would prefer not to chance it.So the next experiment…I filled the canner with the appropriate amount of water, cranked the hot plate as high as it would go, and rested the lid top (did not lock it). Well, it did indeed reach a boil whilst I prepared my canning ingredients. Good right? Not so much. After filling my jars and placing them in the canner, the temp dropped and I’m sitting here waiting and waiting for it to come up to temp. It’s been about 20 minutes and not even close to being io to temp.Bottom line, it works fine for most things but I would go for higher wattage if I were to do it over again, which I probably will if I can find a burner that doesn’t cost more than a new oven.

   We paid a little more for this one because we wanted to like our hot plate. It’s not as hot or as fast as a stovetop, but works pretty well. HINT – when cooking pasta, use the electric tea kettle to boil the water first then add water from the tea kettle to your pre-heated pan on the hot plate. Return to boil, then add your pasta. If you try to boil a pot of water on this baby, you’ll be waiting a l-o-n-g time. Have fun!

   It doesn’t get hot enough for pressure CANNING. It works great for use with a steam canner, but NOT for a pressure canner. Otherwise, it works great.

   The media could not be loaded.  It takes a long time but I’m able to get a consistent 15+ PSI using this with my 23 QT Presto pressure canner. I put it on level 5 until it gets to 15 psi then I can drop it to 4.5. I had to put the weight on earlier than when I use it on a gas stove, I put it on once there was steady heat coming out of the vent (not full blown steam)Depending how much water I have in the pot, I sometimes need to give it a little boost of initial pressure by pressing down the metal pressure valve with a paper towel for a few seconds.

   This Cuisinart CB-30P1 was an excellent purchase. I highly recommend this unit for counter top cooking. An important feature not rated above is that it seems to be quite energy efficient, which was one the main reasons the reason I purchased this unit.

   This is perfect for what I use it for. I don’t have to heat up the motor home while cooking. I make a lot of one pan meals and it has worked great.
