Electric burner

I have not been cooking breakfast as much as I use my Colman stove but in the cabinet I have it in is awkward to cook at. I figure I have the gen running all the time anyway that maybe I should just get a electric burner. I still want to keep the Colman stove but only use it when cooking outside the trailer with my add on table. I think tomorrow I will get one.

Thanks!

I am quit lazy at times and wish I had more hot breakfasts but the stove problems stops me from doing so. I also will not have to buy propane bottles as much. I use the gen anyway and it would only rev up for a short spell anyway. I like electric for the even heat at my sons in laws house so I think this would be nice to have. I read they use 800 watts so the gen will work as I do have the Honda 2000i.

Got the GE electric hot plate. Love it. Have to say it takes time to warm up though. Stays in place when I travel also. Has a small and large plate.

On a not related topic, Would you believe I lost not one but two full loaves of bread in my 6x10 trailer. Yep don't know where I have them. :? :thinking:

The electric burner may take time to warm up but there are opportunities to turn it off early and take advantage of the "free" heat. It just takes a little practice at doing it and remembering to do it. ;)

I found one of my loaf of bread B4 it can go bad. Traveling bounces things around. Now to find the older loaf somewhere. :roll:

I think you might be right. Slow down will still give off heat and still prolong the cooking.
