Cooktron Double with Knob Control
A two-zone portable with a real dial for each side. It's my "best with knobs" pick in the double-burner guide, too.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you want a plug-in double burner with a dial on each side. Skip it if you want lots of settings.
My test results
1 quart boiled in 5 minutes and 5 seconds on one side.
| 1 quart, one side on | 5 min 5 sec |
|---|---|
| 1 quart, both sides on high | 9 min 5 sec |
| Low simmer | Steady (non-pulse low) |
Quick facts
Power: 1,800 watts shared; 9 power levels · Temperature: 10 settings, 140–464°F · Controls: Rotary knob, touch keys and display per zone · Low heat: Continuous low-power heating, per the maker
Pros and cons
What I liked
- Each zone has its own dial.
- Its low heat is steady.
