 Perfect for pressure cooking and canning May 27, 2010

This single-burner range is wider set than most ranges, thus offering much more stability to larger pots such as pressure cooker/canners. It is also all-metal, unlike other (cheaper) ranges having plastic sides which soon melt away when in proximity to the overhang of larger pots and pans.
Cadco states this range can handle up to 12 quart pots. My All-American model 910 pressure cooker/canner is 10 1/2 quarts and sits within the confines of this range all around. The stability is excellent, and the 1500 watts of cooking power of this range has no trouble bringing water to a quick, vigorous boil for canning jams and jellies (which I did just yesterday with this).
Pressure cooking is also made easy due to the infinitely adjustable temperature control. This is different from some other ranges which click through heat levels, such as 1 (low) through 5 (high), making fine-tuning impossible. On this range its easy.
Another reviewer commented about the solid, cast iron cooking element taking awhile to cool down. Well, use a cheaper range! There was a complaint also about the finish on the cast iron cooking element being rough, and I was concerned that it was like a raw piece of crude iron. Its absolutely not, thankfully, and it is quite apparent from the design and texturing machined into the cooking surface that it is meant to afford greater stability to the heavier loads this range is designed to deal with. Im sure that cheaper ranges won't have this 'problem' and will happily sail your boiling water bath on to your lap.
Note there is no 'power on' light, only a light that clicks on when the range is heating the cooking element, otherwise its off. So, a hot range can look exactly like a cold range. Even units with a power indicator can masquerade as a cold unit when unplugged. Make sure everybody knows this, especially your little helpers, if this is your first hot plate.
And by the way, this unit is made in Germany, and I am happy to have it even more.
The less products of exploited-labor I buy, the better.
UPDATE: I filled my All-American model 910 pressure cooker/canner to within 2 inches of the top with cold water to see if this hot plate could boil that much water so that I can use it to make 1-pint jam jars with the hot water bath procedure. The hot plate boiled the water with no problem, and a hard boil, too; one that you have to stay on top of with the temperature knob. I did not have jars inside, just a lot of water. Very stable, too. Loaded with jars (peach jam!) made no difference: it boiled them without issue. A very strong, capable, and stable range. I'm very happy to have it.

This portable range is excellent.It gets hot enough to cook anything, even in the larger of my pots.Takes a while to cool just like an electic range. Easy to clean; has a large base and burner circumfrence. I use it frequently and am verry happy with this purchase.

The electric range is so convenient and efficient in it's design. We used it recently on vacation to cook outside of our travel trailer. It heats quickly and thoroughly, enough to fry eggs or deep fry french fries, after just a few moments of warm-up time. The stainless steel finish is durable and easy to clean and its size makes it easy to store in tight places. We are VERY pleased with our purchase of this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable stove or hotplate.
