What Others Say
Works as fast as my gas stove, easy to keep clean
When I got this item I tested it against the high output burner on my gas stove, to see how long each took to boil a quart of water. This portable halogen burner took the same amount of time as the gas stove. Additionally, the burner is large enough for big pots, and it's very easy to keep clean due to its smooth cooktop. On the downside, after it is shut off, it beeps periodically until it has cooled down (about 20 minutes). This feature is designed to remind you the burner is still hot so you won't accidentally burn yourself. Unfortunately, you can't turn turn off the beeping. Given the good points of this burner, I can live with that, but if you can't you should consider a different item.
