I opted for this hotplate to make hot food in the office, since I cook a lot myself. I have to say my initial doubts have subsided. This small board has a lot of power and I had to be careful that nothing burns me over medium heat. I have not tried yet, but I think even fry would be no problem. For a person absolutely sufficient. One should not make the plate as possible close to wood or paper, as yet, the outer housing is very hot. Otherwise, I must say I am completely satisfied and for this price you can say really nothing.
