The Captain Cook is a hardworking electric hotplate with an 18 cm ceramic hob for modern garden sheds, motor homes and for live cooking applications in a catering setting. A whopping 1200W of power guarantee fast heating, reaching a temperature of 300 °C in just 30 seconds. The temperature may be adjusted as necessary via the adjustable rotary knob on the front, so that water baths, stews and braised meals can be kept at a constant temperature. Designed for cookware between 18-20 cm in size, the ceramic hob is sufficiently large to serve common pot and pan sizes. Whether you use cookware made from metal, glass or ceramic, Captain Cook brings them all to a boil. The halogen lamp beneath the scratch-resistant crystallite glass plate allows for the quick and even heating of different cookware. The constant cooking temperature - at its lowest level around 180 °C - allows you to keep food warm without having to boil it again to reheat, which may result in the loss of savoury flavours. The direct heat transfer ensures fast and energy-saving cooking.The elegant design makes the hot plate an unobtrusive kitchen appliance, while its brushed stainless steel housing reduces cleaning time to a minimum. Due to its moderate dimensions and flat design, the Klarstein Captain Cook is excellent for installation in kitchens and kitchenettes of all sizes and is also a welcome chef in allotments and motor homes. Whether as a companion plate for grilling or as a practical starter appliance for student or single households, the Captain Cook electric hob is an outstanding device.
