Nice little pot for boiling food. A little hard to clean.Very nice little pot for boiling food, but the element will turn off and on so be sure to take that into consideration when setting the temperature. Be careful not to fill it too full because it does have a tendency to boil over. You want to put some foil under it and then a silicone mat under it so that it doesn’t burn anything and catches the water if it boils over. Nice for soups, rice, lunches and I use it quite a bit to boil frozen chicken tenders. It is rather hard to clean, however, and sometimes the heating pad will get soiled and you may need vinegar and water to clean it. It might not come entirely clean. DO NOT USE SCOURING PADS, NOT EVEN THE ONES FOR NON-STICK PANS! The heading pad’s non-stick parts come off quite easily. Also there’s a grove between the unit and heating pad and unit where food can get stuck in so that takes a bit of extra effort to clean out. Otherwise, it’s a nice little unit especially if you’re using it for boiling water for tea, oatmeal or rice. It does take 1000 W of power so you may want to see if this is less than your stove burner.

Great little hot potThe pot is very basic but was wonderful when staying in a hotel without a microwave. The water boiled very quickly. I cooked ramen noodles with added vegetables and heated water for tea and oatmeal. It saved me from going out for meals while away from home. It easily cleaned up after use.

DOES NOT HAVE A ON AND OFF SWITCHyou plug it in, it gets boiling within minutes, BUT you have to pull the plug out of the socket to turn it off!. I have had sparks come back at me with this item. I would send it back, box got thrown away before I used it…just be careful…

Good Name Brand Hot PotThis is a name brand appliance, priced the same as the strangely named brands. Temp control is nice. Teflon insides make it easy to clean. Recommended.

Compact, surprisingly decent, priced rightWe bought this hot pot for a camper on the go. We were pleasantly surprised to see how spot-on the advertising is: It boils water in about 2~3 minutes which is great for tea, and keeps it boiling long enough for a package of ramen. The diameter is perfect for the standard sized and circular ramen bricks; “fancy” ramen that is a little larger you kind of have to finesse in while boiling but it softens up fast and works well. Even though we stir it anyway, the heating area seems even as we can watch the noodles circulate from top to bottom while boiling.We haven’t made anything terribly messy in it except for one dish that was designed to simmer and boil down to preparedness. It was a little rough cleaning burny bits off the hot plate (don’t forget, do NOT use metal to clean it) but they are completely gone without a trace after a few boils so I can’t complain much.I was a little concerned about the plastic nature of the pot itself in the beginning, but after a nearly 3-digit number of things prepared, it is holding up very well. Other comments about the steam vent’s placement are accurate. Seems like common sense, but don’t put your hand over it or your hand will scald. I guess they could’ve moved them to the front of the pot for ergonomics. *shrug*I’m not sure if it’s this model or just our hotpot or what, but for some reason we only get about 5 minutes of constant water boil out of it before the hotpot clicks off. This isn’t a huge issue but gets a little weird when making mac&cheese and you spend a minute *not* boiling the water, then things go back to normal. Speaking of mac&cheese, note that the size is 32oz. Typical instructions say you’ll need 6 cups of water (ie. 48oz) so don’t expect to be able to do wonders!Last but not least, we are thankful for the temp control, but it doesn’t seem to provide a true variance in temperature. It’s just a variable smooth non-clicky knob, seems either “warm” or “boil” are the useful positions as an end-user and in-between is just…there.Bottom line: Everyone seems to be paying twice as much for hotpots designed to do what this one does, and the other ones seem to have weird issues. Despite its shortcomings , we have been happy with this hotpot and would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Works Great For Our NeedsPurchased the Proctor Silex 32oz Adjustable Temperature Electric Hot Pot primarily for boiling water. It meets the need superbly. Water boils in a matter of a few minutes. Much more efficiently than on a stove top. A couple things noted it that water reaches boiling even at the lowest temperature setting. The lid is difficult to remove when completely snapped into place. So we just set it on top of the pot without snapping it into place and everything still works fine. There is no off/on switch and you turn the pot off and on by plugging and unplugging it. The auto shut off works when there is no water in the pot. Our daughter left the pot plugged in over night and the safety function worked as it should. The pot did not sustain any damage and continues to work great even after that mishap. For the price, the Proctor Silex 32oz Adjustable Temperature Electric Hot Pot has been a solid purchase for our needs.
