For individuals with limited kitchen space, those living in dorms or RVs, or anyone needing extra cooking capacity, the Daewoo Double Electric Hot Plate offers a versatile and portable solution for preparing multiple dishes simultaneously. While its dual hobs provide great flexibility, users should be mindful of the combined wattage when operating both hobs at higher settings to avoid overloading electrical circuits.
Dual Cooking Hobs: Features two independent heating zones—a powerful 1500W large hob and a 1000W smaller hob—allowing for simultaneous preparation of different dishes.
Thermostatic Control: Each hob is equipped with an individual thermostatic control with five distinct settings, providing precise temperature management for various cooking needs.
Heat Indicator Lights: User-friendly indicator lights for each hob illuminate when heating and turn off once the desired temperature is reached, ensuring safe and confident cooking.
Durable Stainless Steel Housing: Crafted with a sleek stainless steel exterior, the hot plate is not only aesthetically pleasing but also easy to clean and maintain.
Cast Iron Plates: The hobs utilize cast iron plates for efficient and even heat distribution, suitable for all types of flat-bottomed cookware.
Compact & Portable Design: Its small footprint and portable nature make it ideal for tight spaces, small apartments, dormitories, RVs, or as an auxiliary cooking surface.
Non-Slip Feet: Equipped with sturdy non-slip feet to ensure stability and safety on various countertops during use.
Space-Saving & Portable: Excellent for small kitchens, dorms, RVs, or as an extra cooking burner.
Dual Independent Hobs: Allows for cooking two different items simultaneously with separate temperature controls.
Precise Temperature Control: Thermostatic knobs with five settings offer good control over cooking temperatures.
Easy to Clean: Stainless steel housing and cast iron plates are simple to wipe down after use.
Stable and Safe: Non-slip feet enhance safety during operation.
Durable Construction: Stainless steel and cast iron components contribute to longevity.
Power Consumption: Using both hobs at high settings can draw significant power (up to 2500W), potentially challenging older electrical circuits.
Limited Pot Size: Large pots or pans on both hobs simultaneously might feel cramped due to the compact design.
Preheating Time: May take slightly longer to heat up compared to a traditional stove burner.
Reliance on Electricity: Requires a stable power source, limiting use in off-grid situations without an inverter.

The Daewoo Double Electric Hot Plate is designed for practical, everyday cooking, particularly where traditional stove access is limited. Its dual hobs shine in scenarios like preparing a small meal for one or two people, heating up a side dish while boiling water for pasta, or simultaneously simmering a sauce and frying an egg. The 1500W larger hob is ideal for tasks requiring higher heat, such as searing meats or bringing water to a rapid boil, while the 1000W smaller hob is perfect for gentle simmering, keeping food warm, or cooking smaller portions.
Real-world applications include:
Dorm Room Cooking: Easily prepare instant noodles, stir-fries, or simple breakfasts without needing a full kitchen.
Small Apartment Living: Supplements a tiny kitchen stove or acts as the primary cooking appliance for basic meals.
RV and Camping (with power hookup): Offers a convenient way to cook meals on the road, avoiding propane use.
Buffets or Holiday Gatherings: Can be used as a warming plate or an extra burner for dishes when the main stove is occupied.
Office or Breakroom: Useful for heating lunches or making hot beverages.
Thanks to its thermostatic control, you can maintain consistent temperatures, which is crucial for delicate sauces or slow-cooked dishes. The cast iron plates provide even heat, reducing hot spots and ensuring your food cooks thoroughly. Its compact size makes storage straightforward, and the non-slip feet provide peace of mind during active cooking sessions.
Unpack: Carefully remove the hot plate from its packaging and place it on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface.
Clearance: Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the hot plate. Keep it away from walls, cabinets, and flammable materials (curtains, paper, etc.) with at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clear space on all sides and above.
Power Connection: Plug the hot plate into a standard 220-240V AC electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet can handle the combined wattage (up to 2500W) if both hobs are used at full power.
Initial Use: Before first use, turn each hob to its highest setting for about 5 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke is normal during this process. Ensure good ventilation.
Cookware: Compatible with all types of flat-bottomed cookware, including stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, glass, and ceramic pots and pans. Ensure the cookware base fully covers the hob for optimal efficiency.
Electrical: Requires a standard household electrical outlet with sufficient capacity. Avoid using extension cords unless they are heavy-duty and rated for the appliance's wattage.
Cool Down: ALWAYS allow the hot plate to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent to wipe down the stainless steel housing and cast iron hobs. For stubborn spills, gently scrub with a non-metallic brush or sponge.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the hot plate unit in water or any other liquid. This can cause electrical damage and pose a safety risk.
Dry Thoroughly: Ensure all surfaces are completely dry before plugging in or storing the appliance.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
