Does the plate get really HOT, like to the touch?

The one I bought is the single burner and yes, it gets VERY hot. I purchased another hot plate before buying this one. The other one I bought was garbage. The Waring gets hot enough to fry things beautifully. You certainly would NOT want to touch the plate when it's hot, you would definitely severely burn yourself. Great unit!

The cooking area is the same as an electric stove but the area around the plate stays cool. We have cooked every thing on it that you would cook on your home .

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

I slide it over the heating elements, fits there perfectly so that's where I put it.. keeps elements cleaner.. there are edges on the plate itself that allow this to happen..

Yes, of course it is hot to the touch, extremely hot! That is, when it works. But then it does not often work. So there is a trade-off here.

I'm not sure, possibly. I've only ever heated cooked foods in it. The hot plate gets pretty hot, I'm just not sure it would get hot enough for that.

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 !

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.

Nope! I've used mine without turning it off, or taking breaks, for well over an hour and haven't felt it get hot yet.

I need to correct my statement to you. Yes, it is hot to the touch. Apparently I hadn't noticed until you asked and after I responded to you. Sorry about that.

It gets warm but not hot. I have pushed it back(out of the way) on the counter shortly after use and it was definitely not too hot to touch.

yes, I felt it was cool to the touch. I did return it because I felt it didn't get hot enough for how I wanted to use it.

Yes, it does get very hot unless you get a fitted silicone cover for the handle. And it is quite heavy ..the pan. But good quality if you take care of it properly.

Yes, the plate does stay warm In fact the coffee is hot from the first cup to the last cup.

I have not found that they are hot to touch, however, if I do anything in the microwave for more than 3 minutes, I usually adjust my power setting to 70% or less. Foods generally come out better if you nuke them for more time at less power.

They get hot like a normal plate, but nothing above and beyond that. I reheat leftovers all the time in them and no complaints.

It's very cool, you can even touch the grill above the airflow. of course, if you touch the grill right in front of the airflow, it is going to be hot, but that still wont burn you if you take your hand away quickly. I used it in a regular outlet without any problem.
