The Krypton Hot Plate features a solid cast iron ring and delivers 1000W of power, perfect for cooking, boiling, frying, simmering, or warming food. It accommodates most pots and saucepans, though we recommend using a base no wider than the hob plate for even cooking. The adjustable thermostatic dial lets you set and maintain the ideal temperature, while the individual indicator light shows when the hob is on. Built to last, this corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean hot plate sits securely on four sturdy rubber feet, which also allow heat to escape underneath to prevent overheating.
