Tested. Proven. – It’s not just a tagline, it’s what has led our product development for decades. Every Proctor Silex appliance begins its journey in our engineering lab. Motors rotate, switches turn and mechanical arms spin for days on end, testing each function and feature. Then it’s off to the test kitchen, where the staff uses the product much like you would – cooking and creating to ensure it will make your life a little easier. Only when an appliance passes our rigorous testing do we know it’s ready for its final test – your home.
Proctor Silex Fifth Burner
Feed large groups with ease.
A compact yet powerful appliance, the Proctor Silex Fifth Burner is the perfect solution for preparing meals wherever an extra cooktop is needed. Make enough food for large groups with ease when your typical 4-burner range won’t cut it, or put it to the test when your meal preparation takes you away from the kitchen, like tailgates or potlucks. Its portable size and lightweight construction makes it the perfect tool for on-the-go chefs.
It’s easy to achieve quick and sustained heat with the variable temperature knob, which can be adjusted anywhere between low and high heat settings. Cleanup is just as easy; simply lift up the coil and wipe down the stainless steel drip tray.

We have even used it on camping trips and is particularly useful when trying to cook a regular meal in an RV which may not have all the burners you need for everything. Because it stores away so easily, it can be packed/stored without taking too much room. We love this little burner and use it a lot more than we thought we would. In fact, we bought a second one because it was so useful and worked so well.

Cleaning is too much difficult for me so I am using aluminum foil underneath.So that I can throw away and replace the new one.
I will give 5/5 in terms of heat and 4/5 in terms of cleaning and operating system. Cheap and best.
Thanks

I guess you can't get TOO excited over something as simple as a hotplate. Unit heats up fast, distributes heat evenly, and features a sealed drip pan so dirt/grease/grime can't become trapped in tiny nooks and crannies that are all but impossible to clean. The heat is easily controlled by the simple thermostat, and I especially liked the audible click the unit made indicating the thermostat was correctly cycling the element off and on, maintaining a consistent temperature. I've never seen this on any other hotplate. I found the lowest heat setting was approximately two to three ticks away from the 'off' position on the knob, which allows for a gentle simmer. Again, on all the other units I've tried, it always seemed impossible to reach a low temperature. Any setting below medium and they basically shut off. I also didn't like the on/off cycling --even on the highest setting-- of the old solid-disc hotplate I had years ago. It literally took an hour to get the water up to a gentle boil -- then the thermostat would kick off and the element cooled down again. Very frustrating as you basically had NO CONTROL over the heat output. Not with this one. As the instructions implied, the temperature is controlled pretty much the same way as it is on a full-sized range. Just turn the control from high to low, or vice-versa. Of course you might have to 'play' around with the knob a bit to find the right heat setting for your particular needs, however I didn't find this to be a problem at all.
What else can I say? It's cheap, well-constructed, functional, easily controlled, and stylish. Proctor-Silex has designed a real winner here and I only hope they continue to manufacture this model for many years to come. There's an old saying: sometimes, the cheapest/simplest things are among the best in life. No complaints so far, and will update if any significant issue arises that makes me change my mind. Otherwise, it's a keeper. A solid 10/10. Unit is rated at 1000 watts, drawing approximately 8.5 Amps.
One warning, use heavy bottomed pots instead of thin shallow wide fry pans, they tend to slip off the smallish burner. The burner can handle cast iron pots, heavy saucepans and fry pans as well as small light cook wear.
Don’t have a bad thing to say about this product, excellent value!!!
