Hot Plate

If you have gas issues or just find an electronic appliance easy, a hot plate would be a simple go-to.

Designed with temperature controls so you can set the heat, these hot plates can be used to cook and reheat food. One could also use it to keep their food warm so while you serve it, it does not get cold and congeal. This would be especially useful for things like nihari. or halwa.

Hot plates have features such as overheating protection so they do not burn out and the tops are often made from cast iron so they are sturdy and long-lasting. The feet commonly have rubber on them so the hot plate does not skid while in use.

One should be careful with kids around such devices that can cause burns if touched at the wrong place.

Various brands produce hot plates, these include Westpoint, Nikai, Anex, Panasonic and more. The prices vary from affordable to mid-range, with the hot plates that can house two dishes costing more than the single plate ones.
