An electric cooking plate or more popularly, a hot plate is a compact and portable heating and cooking instrument, typically used as a stove or replacement gas burner where complete kitchen facilities are not available. While most hot plates nowadays are electrically powered, gas-fired types also enjoyed some popularity some years ago, and are still available, although are quite rare these days as electronic types dominate the market. Hot plates come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, the most common of which have round and flat surfaces. Other types have temperature regulating capabilities, such as those with in-built temperature control systems that regulate heat by adjusting voltage and power used on the hot plate. There are also heat retentive plates that lock-in heat and release the energy slowly to help keep food warm. Because hot plates retain heat, proper handling must always be observed when around these items. Whether you are cooking or simply reheating food on an electric cooking plate, here are some pointers to remember when handling a hot plate:

The conventional electrical outlet has a neutral wire and two 120-volt wires delivering power to appliances in your home using a phase of the electrical service. 240-volt outlets function differently, as they utilize both 120-volt wires, the neutral one, and a ground wire, which is found in new homes, to power a particular receptacle. Certain appliances and older homes may have three-prong 240-volt outlets, but these are also found in big motor-driven appliances, which run more efficiently on this voltage. Take note that these outlets are meant for those types of equipment, so those appliances normally have a plug that is compatible with 240 volts.
