I am not using it to cook on. I make jewelry. This hot plate reaches temperatures of 700+ and I need the heat for the keumboo process.

My unit is a single burner, and I like it very much. It heats up well and it works well. I have used a regular stock pot on it, that was half to three quarters full, when cooking dried beans. It is built well,not flimsy.

This one is not electric. It is an inulated dispenser only, we have found it keeps tea hot for a good 4 hours. So it met our needs. How this answers your question. We have had no issues with this unit.

Ours still works and is fine for a small family. We use it about three times a week maybe. 1350 watts. Comes with great cooking instructions.

Sorry I have a gas stove. but the literature says the Staub is fine on electric. By the way I really really like the cocotte(dutch oven).

It is a 200 Watt. Excellent machine (made in Switzerland). I've had the shorter one (stem? Part that goes in the pot) for 15 years. I recently gave that one to my daughter and bought this one. Definitely worth the extra money! Hope that helps

We have used a max of 3 gallons *or around 30 lbs without issue...while our pots are 5 gal...we chose not to stressthis wonderful appliance. Water runs around 8lbs per gallon..so we add around 6 lbs max of stuff....one of our 5 gallon pots for some reasondoes not work..appliance doesn't turn on...could be the stainless is not stainless but aluminum? We use the ap[pliance for many chores since we can set set time and temp, and buzz off to do other things.btw, we do some poachings in black iron...no issue.

It is electric, 120 V (regular US power outlet). It is about 18" long, 12"high, 12 wide. It is much bigger then the small home coffee makers, but cooks 2.5 cups of beans. we get about 6-8 pots of coffee from one roast. We love ours. weight is about 10lb. You do have to watch it, we had one get stuck and melted part of the machine quite badly, and a second one caught on fire..(we roast on our patio- because there is a lot of smoke). The company sent us a replacement, and said they had improved it since we purchased the one that went up in flames...REALLY UP IN FLAMES!! - check out Sweet Maria, I posted photos. But we are using the third one now, and do like it a lot...we are just very careful with it!! It is electric, 120 V (regular US power outlet). It is about 18" long, 12"high, 12 wide.

less than 20 pounds, more like 15-16 -- all the weight is on the bottom so unit will not turn over. I'm over 60 and have no trouble moving it from spot to spot. We love it.

I took a look at my Dork Food specifications and it states that my unit is 120V AC both input output and with max 15 Amps. As an aside it works like a charm. If you decide on this unit I would suggest you get the largest slow cooker you can find. That was my only draw back. You will find that you will want to do larger items or multiple items and you just won't have the capacity. If you still are interested in the Dork use a small aquarium vibrator pump and air stone to keep the water circulating. I finally went to the PolyScience circulator and heat which is a quantum leap and just about perfect. $240 discounted.

sorry, have no idea. but I do have a rather large pot on the top, probably over 20 lbs, and with smaller pots on either side to balance the large one. I have the planter on a thick carpet, so I have to be careful not to tip it over due to the very thin metal legs.

It is electric! I've been very pleased with this product. It's easy to use and handle. I hope that helps...

Hi Randy,I am really sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question. I use it solely on an old electric stove to boil water. Check with the manufacturer.Vermont Country Store also carries this pot.

I kept a large hibiscus plant, huge ceramic pot and this held up fine. I would safely say mine is at least 100 pounds. Are you trying to move the plant frequently or keeping it in one place? I could see if you move it a lot, eventually it would crack, but I kept mine stationary throughout winter, moved it in the spring, and had absolutely no issues. Hope this was of some help!

I use mine on an electric stove. It works just as well. I some times slide the coffee pot off if it gets too hot. I really like the coffee it makes. I get use the finest grind coffee I can get, it works the best dluiken@daktel.com

Although the packaging says that it only heats when weight is on the mat, I have to agree with Stymie's answer that the mat does use some (but not much) electric even when there is no weight on the mat. Although it does not use much electric when not in use, we have plugged this into a thermostatically controlled outlet. Once the temp at the outlet reaches 35 the mat has the electric for heating. If the temp reaches 45 the outlet cuts the power to the mat until the temp is 35 or below again.

The only restriction in the manual is that the unit uses a 14" 10 1/2 Qt pot. I would say from what I use it for to melt lead it can hold quite a load, But 10 1/2 qts is about 20 3/4 lbs. So its up to you. I try not to add too much material and limit it to about 25 to 30 lbs. Remember that a gallon of water weighs 8.3 lbs. You go from there. Remember also its a cooker not a fryer and if you deep fry anthing you will need a thermometer to regulate the temp. Have fun.

I don't know of any weight limit. I can tell you that it is a big ,heavy, well built unit that can handle anything that I would cook on my home stove top.
