Review: Outstanding Quality and Works Perfectly - I couldn't be more pleased with this hot plate. It's commercial quality. Made in USA . You will be very impressed with the fast and even cooking you'll experience with this hot plate. First of all, it's made for restaurant/commercial use. That tells you a lot. It has a RobertShaw thermostat which is considered in the industry as a leader in electronic controls manufacturing. It also boasts an 8" coil. This large size coil provides the needed heat surface to cover most any pan or pot you put on it. It provides exceptional even cooking. You're probably saying, "but I use 12" frying pans" OK, but take a measurement off the bottom of the pan and most 12' pans only have about a 10" bottom that contacts the cooking surface. Even if your pan or pots exceed the large 8" coil, the pan or pot's own conductivity properties will distribute the heat properly to the fringe areas. They're made to do that. But, don't detract that capability from this extra large coil which really puts out the heat. There are some of these cooktops out there that have a cast iron covering and they look nicer. However, I had one before I bought this one and I believe the cast iron covering over the coil doesn't allow for 100% heat transfer to whatever you're cooking in. You get all the heat this baby generates transferred to your pot or pan. I have a very expensive Modern Maid stainless gas cook top with 4 burners and indoor BBQ built into it. We were very impressed looking at how classy it looked in the showroom. Cooking on it however, is another story. The 4 burners are circular with the gas jets running only around the circle not in X patterns like commercial burners which cover the whole bottom of your pan or pot with flame. I immediately noticed the perfect heat distribution over the entire cooking surface of the 12" pan I first used on this Cadco hot plate. I've been so used to shifting the pans around on the burners of the gas cook top during cooking that I was absolutely blown away how I could just let the pan stay put on this cook top and get the meal evenly and perfectly cooked. Keep in mind, this unit must be plugged into at least a 15 amp. circuit. We have a new 200 amp power panel and they're all 20 or 30 amp. so I don't have a power problem; but, if you have an old style fuse box you might. Check the circuit you plan to plug into before you buy. A 15 or 20 amp circuit should work fine. But you probably won't be able to use, say a toaster on the same circuit when you're cooking with this cook top. These things work best on their own dedicated circuit or without any other plugged in item working at the same time on the same circuit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has any one water bath or pressure canned with this?**
A: I bought this specifically to use for pressure canning.  It will do the job, but not very well.  It takes 3 times as long to get the pressure up as it does on my kitchen stove.  It is not powerful enough to do it properly.

**Q: What's the lowest temperature the unit will work at**
A: I don’t know. Thermostat on mine won’t work. It only works on high

**Q: Can you use a cast iron skillet on this burner?**
A: I checked the instructions. It only says do not use PLASTIV dishes. I imagine cast iron would be fine.

**Q: How much weight will it hold, can it hold a large, full canner?**
A: WE DO NOT SUGGEST USING A CANNER WITH THIS PRODUCT. IT HOLD MX 10 QTS, ABOUT 15 POUNDS AND THE POT CANNOT BE MORE THAN AN INCH LARGER THAN THE COILS, WHICH IS 8"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Love my Cadco CSR-3T 14" Electric Portable Countertop Hi-Power Hot Plate w/One Tubular Burner
*by A***R on October 30, 2025*

Works Great for canning with my larger "All American Canner", holds heat and maintains pressure with ease... Great value for the money, would buy again. Control buttons are easy to use to find that Sweet Spot for Canning! It's easy to clean and burner doesn't smoke up even a little bit. Have used for cooking out side of canning and it's nice to have that extra burner on Hand. I feel very safe using this burner for many types of Cooking. I like that this burner is also compatible with all my cookware; not just induction type pans...
