This article is about the appliance. For the defunct Australian reality show, see The Hotplate.
A hot plate or hotplate is a portable self-contained tabletop small appliance cooktop that features one or more electric heating elements or gas burners. A hot plate can be used as a stand-alone appliance, but is often used as a substitute for one of the burners from an oven range or a kitchen stove. Hot plates are often used for food preparation, generally in locations where a full kitchen stove would not be convenient or practical. They can also be used as a heat source in laboratories.[1][2] A hot plate can have a flat surface or round surface. Hot plates can be used for traveling or in areas without electricity.
