Does the countertop underneath the cooker get hot? I am installing new counters and my builder is concerned the new countertop will "melt".

There is NO heat under, on or around cooker. Only the pan and contents get hot.

NO! The unit does not get hot on the bottom. When cooking u can put a paper towel between the pan and top and fry chicken and the paper will not burn. It does tend to heat in a small ring in the pan. That with a good pan has not been problem. I cook sausage and eggs at the same time on #5 heat level. We like it so we'll I bought a spare. We have glass top cook top stove and it heats up the kitchen and stays hot for long periods. This cook top does not get warm on the bottom. It has a fan that controls component heat and turns off automatically. If u look up magnetic cooking it compares to gas cooking in cost and super efficiency. When u remove the cooking pan u can put your hand on the top. The bottom is even cooler. Top product.

The sides and top does get warm. But not as warm as the previous oven I had. I would still leave an inch or a little more clearance around the unit and certainly not allow a small one to be near during operation. My unit is still working flawless and I use it daily.

Yes. But it depends on what. My old cooker's bottom was melted due to my friend's carelessness in cooking. So, I bought a new one. Since the old one was still intact even after the bottom induction support got melted away, I am using the old one for deep frying. It's a stainless stell, it will hold that heat for sure.

The colored handle will melt if you touch it to a hot pan or burner. The Grey utensil part however is very high quality and doesn't melt at all. The little notch on the bottom of the colored part allows you to put the utensils on the counter top without the Grey part touching the counter it's very handy.

Nope. I never had a problem with it. I generally use it on a granite countertop. The heat is on the top of the unit, not on the bottom.

My plug gets slightly warm but it certainly is not too hot to the touch nor is it melting. That sounds like a definite problem either with the stove itself or your outlet. I would try a different outlet and see if you have the same problem. I wouldn't leave it plugged in if it's that hot and especially if it's melting.

I would not recommend this be under a counter. It produces quite a bit of heat, and has a difficult time maintaining temp if ambient temp raises.

Excellent question and one I thought about before purchase and was prepared to place some ceramic tiles to absorb excess heat. But, it is not needed. The insulation is good and I can actually set my hand upon the top when it has been baking at 350 for 20 minutes. It continues to gain some heat, but nowheres near what the consumer countertop ovens I had before radiated. I think that is because the consumer models have NO insulation. I absolutely love the oven and it bakes better than my expensive double convection stainless Thermador. Hope that helps in your decision process. I don't see how you can go wrong if you get one of the ovens as pictured in the photo as I did. Good things have a way of changing locations of manufacturing if you know what I mean. ;)

They do get hot. We have one in a cabinet that I do not put anything on top of but one on an open shelf that I do stack on, both work fine. I would avoid stacking components on one in a closed cabinet with no ventilation. I don't know how hot is "too hot" but they do fine used this way for us.

It's on our granite kitchen countertop.I know the bottom gets warm and there are heavy duty feet so bottom probably does get hot but there are those feet.

It does not get particularly hot on our example, but we have induction cooking and I am not sure that is the same with other heating processes. If you let something simmer for a long time then for sure it will get hot, we cook hot and fast it is not a problem. We generally use the lid only to keep the food from cooling before serving. The wok is the best one that we have ever used, and we have tried many different brands.

I used one inside a pan used to cook in here. The part of the liner that touched the cooker melted. Perhaps it depends on how high the temp is, but I've not used a liner since then. Of course, we typically use it only at holidays.

Mine got so hot I'm returning it. The cord was hot and countertop oven was very, very hot. In my opinion, this does pose a safety issue. I wasn't going to wait to see if it caused a fire.

I installed mine 6 months ago and it is holding up well. I make sure I do not set anything super hot directly on my kitchen countertops. So far, it is holding up quite well and I love the new look it has given my kitchen!

I have never had any problem with melting and have been using for several years. I never cook above 350.

While the oven does get hot to touch, it is safe being under the cabinets. The best part is that it does not heat up the kitchens like a conventional oven. We just purchased a second one to take to our summer home next spring.
