Is this one of the models where the plates only get hot when you close them together?

No, the plates heat up quickly and they do not have to be closed together. This is my favorite flat iron EVER!

MaxiMatic EHC-2022 Elite Cuisine... Yes, plate stay warm . You must turn it off when done! It does not turn of by its self. Some coffee makers turn off automatically but this one does NOT.

Can't answer that. The hot plate could of been defective or customer error is all I can say.

Yes, both the plates do heat up.The lower plate is lot hotter than upper plate ( i don't suggest touching any of these plates with your hands to check... LOL)It does the job GREAT, all you need is some practice and modify making of the dough !

Yes, they do. Only when coming straight from the oven are they hot. I love our set and had it for a year with no complaints.

Depends what you mean by "very." It is hot to the touch but not combustably so. I store extra trays on top and they don't get hot.

We've had this set for a year and no they do not get hot. Now the items inside will get hot and that sometimes means that a bowl may be hot where the hot food touches but the dinnerware will not get hot by it's self.

It does get hot but not the pack. The connection at the outlet gets very hot.

The answer to your question is "NO". The only time the plate gets "WARM" is when you have something on it and have it in the microwave oven on high for over 6 minutes. The food will get extremely hot which will then make the plate warm to the touch. I've had food on these plates that was so hot I couldn't pick the food up but the plate was just a little warm. I don't think you will have any problem with these plates concerning heat transfer.

No they don't get hot. They're beautiful they stack great and the table setting looks rich when all laid out for the holidays

I've used my griddler for about three months now. Never had an issue with the plates falling off.

Yes I think what they say on TV is a little misleading but here is what I have found. The only place that is hot is under the pan. Nothing else on the PIC is hot. While you are cooking you can actually touch the top of the plate and it is not even warm, just don't touch the part where the pan is sitting as that does get hot.

They can get hot. For example I microwaved broccoli in one of the bowls with a plate set over the top yesterday for 3 minutes and I had to usepot holders to take out out. Just a typical plate of food for a minute or two doesn't get overly hot.

I have the same plates and I love them. I have never had a plate not get hot in the microwave. I really try and heat food on the stove or in the oven. I don't like heating in the microwave I don't think that using plastic or ceramic in a microwave is healthy. I guess the best bet is paper plates or bowels then transfer the food to your beautiful dishes. I purchased these last year and when they arrived a few were broken and they sent me a whole new set! I have priced similar plates in my area and they are $8.00-$12.00 for each dinner plate! These dishes are a real find and a recommend them to all. I have the same plates and I love them.

I've put all the pieces in the microwave with problems... Have not experienced any "hot" plates beyond what you'd expect. Very durable.

No. The warmers actually sit on a hotplate. The base of the unit is flat and the warmers rest on top of the flat base which acts like a hotplate. Be careful. This holiday I, quite foolishly put my palm on the base of the unit to see if it was hot--and yep--it was...lol...hope this answer helps.

I do not have the Double hot plate. I Have the single which definitely is movable. Linda
