Hello, good will people of Nairaland particularly those who are conversant with electric cooker, or electric stove or hot plate as it is called by different people.

So I thought it is wise to introduce alternative means of cooking considering the increasing cost of gas #650/kg as at four days ago that I refilled, something that I still bought #400 this year o. Since light is fairly OK here, I went to market today and bought this stuff down there, to my surprise, chairman refuse to heat up well o, even to warm stew, it was so slow, I became worried if I have thrown away 5k today today in this Buhari regime. So, to those that have been using hot plate, is that how it is, or the thing will still surprise me? Thank you.

Bro you just wasted 5k. Next time look for hot plate. The type with glass top. You can get a single burner for 4.5k

Kia this burner with it's yeye thermostat that trips off once it gets off.

U no fit cook better food with that tin.

Unless say boys work am for u

We had this same cooker in our house few years ago.
This thing can delay somebody's destiny for real
It doesn't cook food well just as this guy above me said

As someone stated above, you should have bought the one with glass cover....

There's nothing wrong with that hot plate, I once had one like that and it lasted me for 3 years.... It was our faulty transformer in our neighborhood that actually spoilt it for me.

The only problem with this kind of hot plate is that it takes a long time before it actually gets hot enough.
And it also usually takes a long time for it to cool down after it gets hot.

Try keeping it on for 5-7 minutes and if it doesn't get hot, that means that it's faulty.

I advised hotplate because it's far better than this. Energy efficient and faster. When I used the siasho, I loosened the stuff and remove the thermostat. Fiam na so my beans begin burn for school.

How, bro, is there a solution to it?

Will soon move to electric cooker as well..... Gas Coker was hyped for nothing...

Please guys with the glass top hot plate being recommended, Is it better to go for a new one or buy the Used ones that are being sold

Lol this type no dey cook anything now.. you won't enjoy it . it's only for light food like frying of egg and boiling warm water for tea. It was made for those oyibos wey dey chop semi cooked food. You fit work am Sha.. did it to mine back then in uni.. but some of the wires might end up melting , the element might get spoilt and e go dey shock you. Meanwhile the shock from these things no be here , e fit rival transformer own .

It's workable but complications might arise if you don't give it to a pro.. yeah you right . The thermostat is the problem.

Thanks for the info and the reviews. Am about to go to the market and buy mine, so i decided to check nairaland for user experience and these information from everyone helps.we have light to some level here everyday and hotplate wouldn't be bad to supplement gas.

Hope it doesn't shock as well.

Good morning everyone, Op sorry to derail this thread. Please which product of standing gas cooker is the best to buy. The likes of Scanfrost, skyrun, Maxi etc

Buy the glass type, the one in the first post gave me the kind of shocking that I won't fail to tell my grand children

Okay thanks

Does great with aluminum pot.

I brought skyrun refrigerator BCD 108J . It's barely two months now. Just yesterday it stopped working. Once plugged it doesn't make any sound. But the inside light is on when the fridge is open.

At interval it makes sound as if it wants to start working but it doesn't

Good evening, I know this post has been here for years but each time I plug this type of my hot plate my house light trips off, I'll have to call electricians to repair the light back for me, please what could be the cause of that?

Internal wires of the cooker have melt, so they are bridging (short circuit)...(Live and neutral joining together)

Take the hotplate to an electrician as well.
